Are you pleased with recent proceedings?

This was never about the "truth" or what anyone was sold to anyone. America was all for invading Iraq when they thought we'd march in, it'd be a cakewalk, we'd take out the "bad guy," our soldiers would have roses thrown at their feet and they'd be home in three weeks.
Then when they realized we had ****ed it all up, they were against the whole thing -- and if you listened to some people who are full of ****, they had ALWAYS been against it, even though support for the invasion had been ridiculously high.
Interesting thing to me is that no matter how many times history gets rewritten in the matter of minutes, people really don't change.

The "march in" and "cakewalk" was represented/presented as such by Cheney and Rumsfeld . . . . 30-plus years of combined obliviousness -- and wrong, again.
A sales job, yes . . . of tragic -- if not criminal -- proportions.

Maybe... But they didn't have to do a whole lot of selling. People are still buying.
Wrap it in the flag, promise we'll take out an Ayatollah or two and America'd be all for invading Iran tomorrow.

I read this **** going both ways and cannot fathom how we have so many geniuses who have labeled Bush as everything including a criminal and yet half the country did vote for him - twice. You people were probably among those whining when he first got elected. When you call people idiots, you're talking about half the country, which by basic math and logic, doesn't seem like a case for idiocy to me. Seems rather like political thinking.
If he's a criminal, then where has your Democratic leadership been regarding getting rid of him? Too busy covering their own asses, no doubt.
Just my 2 cents.

yes, a media conspiracy concocted by thousands of individuals working at different outlets.
the premise of your entire post is laughable. so is the post itself.
hope you're enjoying the weather down south.

No.
Then likewise.

Fine, but I didn't call you a "peon at a smalltown newspaper," did I? (Which Tom isn't, by the way).
All I know about you, Yawn, is that you're a far-right crazy who, despite your slinging the phrase at Tom, is the best example I've seen on this board of, "You're an asshole to anybody who doesn't share your views."
Have a nice night.
