"The same people, who seem to have no compunction with being 'repeatedly' wrong..."

"The same people, who seem to have no compunction with being repeatedly wrong..."


from Obama's speech, I found that caption on the 'Rachel Maddow' show last night and it brought to mind the speech that Netanyahu made in 2002. Published on CSPAN...

Netanyahu's Expert Testimony on Iraq in 2002
Following his first term as Isrel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu testified to Congress on Sept. 12, 2002 as a private citizen, and advised Congress that a U.S. invasion of Iraq would be "a good choice."


Netanyahu 2002: I guarantee you
If you take out Saddam's Regime, I guarantee you, that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region
.


Watch both videos at the link: CSPAN
Talk about being repeatedly wrong, now they are at it again.

And with a corporate media that will do anything for money and ratings, it's become worse over the decades. Now we have worthless shitheads like Ted Cruz in office. All thanks to our nations inability to punish the GOP when they do wrong.

this clown party tonight, with the clowns being 'questioned' by their handlers. What bullshit this is!!! The only important thing about this upcoming GE, is our candidate, no matter who, walking in the front door of the WH, January 2017.

are primped and coiffed for the camera, given clothing allowances, and meet friendly VIP's (eager to push their agendas). Which sounds sexier, career-wise?

was wanting to "move on" and not hold any of the War Criminals accountable.

Also the media has had a preference for the wrong people over the right people for some time.

Why do the still defer to McCain and Graham on foreign policy and never call them out for being so wrong?
