WTF Is It Now?!?

The Capture Of Saddam Hussein Does Not Change AT ALL That This Nation Was Lied Into War And Our Soldiers Died As A Result

The time to be self righteous and holier than thou was not in the latter part of 2002 when this administration first started marketing this war like a half-off sale at J.C. Penney’s; and it was not in 2003 when the neo-cons coerced this uncurious, ignorant deserter in the White House to send our boys to die in Iraq. Rather, the time to get your edible undies in a wad was when the last generation of Republican thugs - namely Reagan and Bush I - were giving Saddam the dope he needed to be an evil bastard. That’s when you should have been concerned about the Kurds, or “his own people”, as they are now disingenuously referred to...

[D]id you happen to catch CNN media whore Judy Woodruff questioning General Wesley Clark? She asked him “Does this take Iraq off the table as an issue in the presidential campaign?” Excuse me, Judy? Are you saying the capture of the leader of a country excuses the lies that took us to war in the first place? She then asked the General “Last Tuesday in New Hampshire, you called president Bush a reckless, radical and heartless leader and you said the war in Iraq cast doubts on his competence to be commander in chief. Do you stand by those statements?” General Clark, to his credit, replied that he did indeed stand by them.

And then Woodruff, apparently left speechless by the General’s candor, stuttered and stammered for a couple of seconds, and finally found it within herself to ask with as much disdain and condemnation as she could possibly muster “At a time like this?” The only thing missing from her last comment was a well aimed hork in the General’s direction. Fortunately for him, he was appearing via overseas camera. So much for the "liberal" media.

Back to your “At a time like this?” question. Yes Judy, especially at a time like this. Jeez, you’re supposed to be a news reporter. Instead, you’re acting like a little girl who’s all excited by the attractive icing when you know full well the main ingredient of the cake was Texas Bull Crap. And let me help you out Judy. The fact that we’ve captured Saddam Hussein does not change the fact that Bush lied and 450 of our soldiers have died. What’s wrong with these reporters and hosts? Just like Halliburton excuses their crime by saying “Well, we didn’t profit from it,” I guess it’s also OK now to excuse the lies that took us into this war with Iraq; the ensuing war crimes that took place in Iraq; and the number of our boys who died in Iraq just by saying but we caught the leader of Iraq. Welcome to hypocrisy and stupidity run rampant in GOP Nation.
