Our corporate establishment media does not rank high in credibility. From Hearst to MTP, it's been more than willing to drum us into war any way it (or the USG) thinks will work.

And, yes, it is now very politically convenient to say "it's all Al Qaeda." For one thing, the AUMF authorizes action against all those responsible for the attack on the WTC and there is no authorization in place. It's constitutional level convenient, as Obama/Kerry and Congress do the flirtation waltz.

"We don't need your vote, but we'd welcome it if you decide to take it, without our asking you for it."


"Ask us and see what happens."

Ugh. This is war, you fuckers. Our kids. Lives, limbs, blood and guts. And our money. And our future.
