Paul Wellstone Iraq War Speech

[Sky Masterson]

Blast from the Past
He voted the right way.

1. I think he was murdered.

The speech is why.

[RoccoR5955]

2. He was Cheneyed. n/t

[Fast Walker 52]

3. I agree. He was a great man and his death was quite suspicious

plus it helped grease the wheels for a war that Bushco really obviously wanted badly.

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. Probably so.

[Major Nikon]

7. I think the far out conspiracy theories regarding his death are very disrespectful to the family

4. An excellent Senator... is deeply missed

He tragically died in a plane crash with his family, just 11 days before his re-election.
There were many stories of suspicion about the nature of the plane failure and crash.
Many do believe he was deliberately killed along with his family.

Thank you for the remembrance of his sanity in our congress. He was a great man and great senator.

6. The hawks ultimately "won" the Shock and Awe debate, but I will be forever grateful

to the Progressives who spoke out against the Bush/Cheney invasion of Iraq. Paul Wellsone, like Bernie Sanders, was very, very courageous on this issue.

8. How rare patriotic Americans are these days.

Instead we are treated to a media sponsored and airhead endorsed snark-war between Trump and Clinton. Its pathetic that we have sunk this low.

9. HUGE K & R !!! - THANK YOU !!!

[surrealAmerican]

10. a turning point in our history ...

... and oh boy, did we ever make the wrong turn.

Wellstone knew, and so did most the rest of the Democrats, that this was wrong. Too few were brave enough to say so.
