They don't want America to see their devilish scheming. I have known this all along. Not much gets past a wary veteran. While the world's focus is on the slow motion - trade center like - crash and burn of America, (Thanks to this administration), Germany is quietly bringing up the rear. Don't say I didn't warn you. While its completely proper to rail about our losses at the hands of ineptitude, UNDERSTAND that every public servant who runs for high office has a SELF SERVING PERSONAL AGENDA and don't you let ANYONE tell you different. This includes BUSH, OBAMA,THE CLINTONS (You don't just get ONE) and MCCAIN. Hillary is so desperate for the shot, she will stoop to ANYTHING, just watch. Every time I hear Bill Clinton on the campaign trail I get nose bleeds. THEY HAD THEIR SHOT! Seems like everyone is holding their candidate out at arms length and holding their noses. LIES LIES LIES! Americans of all stripes, AND our troops DESERVE SO MUCH MORE. We need fresh blood in this country, not a policy of more of the same. I say EMPTY the halls of Congress! America can't get anything done! I see a government that sits at the top in stony silence. They don't want America to see their devilish scheming. I have known this all along.

Regardless of how we got there, (Bad intelligence, Neo-Cons, Oil company greed, or Sadaam WMD), we are THERE. Lets finish what we started in both countries. If, god forbid, it looks like we can't finish the job, then lets pull out the troops and Annihilate both countries...lets drop the nukes and make it so that no one can inhabit either country for 10,000 years. The message must be sent that you cannot win a war against the United States...as a nation we will do what is in our best interest...and we don't care what the rest of the world thinks. Our new foreign policy: FEAR US RESPECT US LIKE US In that order. Lets focus on what is really important...like balancing the budget.

Even those who told the lies now are admitting that they were lying. I wonder how Dana Perino who is now the voice of lies and the others can face themselves in the mirror but I guess I know. Bush, his administration and Republicans in general are delusional. The great majority don't think they have never done anything wrong. It is difficult to see how we will heal the divisions in this country when a large portion of the population could be reasonably considered to be completely removed from reality and amoral. They don't seem to know right from wrong, and think that torture is ok, that lying is ok, that the non-defined ends justify any means. Some way must be found to convince Republicans that for all their 'values' propaganda, they are not above the law. Bush's approval ratings among Republicans clearly show that they still believe they are above the law by a sizable majority. Their consensus reality is not that of America and frankly, their ability not to understand that frightens me and makes me worry about the future of the country. How sad.

It's what half of this country has known for years; that we followed this administration into war like lemmings off a cliff. I can't believe that once the wmd's were not found, we didn't have more of a public out cry. This administration knows how apathetic this nation can be, and they used it to goat us into an unnecessary war without taking responsibility for any of the consequences of their actions.

His tortured soul has been released after working for one of the most twisted administrations in the history of the United States. All of the news media need to just stop with their surprised inquiry. The truth is that the media was lead down the path years ago by this administration to drum up public support for an unjust war and search for WMD. The administration has moved from searching for WMD; hunting down Sadam; to bringing democracy to Iraq. We are now in the role of supporting peace keeping with our military on 2-4 rotations in Iraq until their new government can establish itself to once again run the country under a new regime.

When Ben Bradley says the Nixon people were making non-denial denials? They are NOT saying "That's a lie!" Today we see Bush's people, and the press parroting it, saying "We're puzzled. That's not the Scott I knew." or "Why complain now if he didn't then?" As if either makes any difference in that the president lied, and so did most of his men. We were sold a needless immoral war, and those who stood in the way, were maligned. All maligners were pardoned or protected. Who the heck cares if Scott is pissed about losing his job or thrilled about it? Does that change things? This is the same song we heard from the remaining living Nixon staff about who Deep Throat was. What a lousy traitor--NOT the president or his men, but the man who said what they were doing. Why isn't the press pointing this out? It reminds me of how the press continues to play around with Hillary's statements that she has the popular vote, or is ahead (somehow, somewhere), and feels picked upon and bullied by the press. They keep covering her speeches and talking about how she could still win. Remember All the President's Men? When Ben Bradley

Namely that Bush seemed determined to go to war on Iraq whatever the evidence. The question was why. Was it because the war industry could boost the economy? Because it could secure plenty of oil? Or because his father was sometimes criticized for not having deposed Saddam before? Did he want to try the compact in-and-out small army concept? One thing Rendell got absolutely right... President Bush has “always been an instinctive leader more than an intellectual leader”. Don't forget he was rhe one that looked into Putin's eyes and saw his soul...

The public was sold propaganda rather than communicated honest and candid truths about Iraq and war. It was clear to me through the entire process that the reasoning for going to war was not based on any sort of ethical or moral foundation that could continue to motivate the public in a favorable and positive way. Rather it was founded on false claims and weakly connected half-truths that didn't have the logical or moral power to arouse the inner sense of identity and support for the cause. The American public ultimately strongly supported our participation in WWI and WWII, for example, because we knew what was at stake and we believed it was right to fight. It was clear then that the U.S. was morally justified in participating because we were defending ourselves and others. Iraq has never "felt right". Our leaders have consistently used fear, anger, and misinformation about Iraq's connection to al Qaeda to tell us the war is warranted.

It's high time people started being straight up about this war. Every Marine I know who's served over there has had anything good to say about it. Not to mention the hit that the economy has taken with it all. There is a direct correlation with the war efforts, the national debt (which has tripled in Bush's administration), and gas prices. And now $4 gas is sending inflation through the roof. Get rid of him now and put Obama in. No reason to wait for November if he's going to win anyway. Good for McClellan.
