There is nothing contradictory in being thankful for Saddam's ouster and upset about how we got there.

That's because the evidence is compelling that we were led down a path strewn with dishonesty, evasion, reckless disregard for truth and a cynical view of us as simpletons to be duped.

Bad enough to get taken, to be a patsy. Bad enough. Worse to be a willing patsy, but we've passed that point, too. The only question now is, how hard are you willing to work at it, guys, hm? I mean, we're long past the point where mere intellectual laziness is enough to stay in the game. You've got to labor at it, now. You've got to put in your six to eight hours a day just forcing yourself to believe what these grinning gladhanders are telling you. Not enough just to accept it, you've got to want to be conned so bad that you're straining at it, asking for 'em to lobotomize you so you won't have to listen to those parts of your brain that know what an utter crock of shit you've been sold and are hoping so bad they'll sell you more of. Hoping that if you're really good and you save them the expense and trouble by doing the lobotomy yourself--It's fun, and easy, using tools found in any household utility drawer, try it today and see!--and you're really really really good they'll let you hock your family's nest egg and the future of your kids and grandkids just for the privilege of eating more of their shit and promising, oh god swearing on Jeebus and your eternal soul that it tastes like candy, like chocolate candy bon bons nicer than they make in France, oh a million times nicer.
