Thanks, Harry. You are the first Dem in a long time to get real. I'd like to propose to your base that we follow suit.
Being polite or calm has not worked. While we have existed on that paradigm, they have lied, tortured and murdered in the name of America.
There are copious financial connections between this administration, their families and supporters and the war in Iraq. We are torturing people taken into custody by American agents in prisons set up in countries that would not object to medieval interrogation. Lie after lie (or if you prefer, got fooled after got fooled) has been shown to be lies...
Oh, yeah. Over 20,000 Iraqi civilians and 2000 american kids have been killed in this enterprise.
We went in originally because he (Saddam) was a threat. He wasn't, so the spin meisters convinced us that it was because he was a bad man (like many other bad men in leadership positions all over the world). They said he had mass graves (Like Bush 41 in Panama and Desert Storm) and said we had to step in. The spinners didn't tell us that the WMD responsible were most likely sold to Saddam by the USA.
This motherfucking administration didn't even offer the thinking American a tube of KY. They knew they held the cards and they fucked us without a kiss.
It's past time to stand up like we have never stood before. It's time for sacrifice or this country will become the shortest lived "empire" in recorded history.
