Quote from pdgee:
It's amazing to see people defending Bush, Rumsfeld, et al, on the basis of a "they aren't gutless democrats" argument. Have we lost our minds as a country? These guys, whether they lied, or were simply incompetent, (1) chose to get us into a war (2) whose conduct they screwed up, and (3) for which they have no planned "victory" and (4) refuse even to acknowledge that things MIGHT have gone a bit awry. Although, of course, they all "take responsiblity". This catastrophe has nothing to do with the competence or lack of it of the democrats.
The country needs to get back to its first principles, which include responsibility, accountability, fiscal realities, and if not respect for the opinions of others, at least a smidgen of awareness that if EVERYONE else thinks we're an out-of-control agressor, that maybe there's something to it.
Fortunately, we still have elections, and, post-November, I think some congressional subpoenas will begin to yield some interesting documents (and indictments).
On the other hand, as an Ohio resident, I am about to become paranoid to the point where I don't put rigged voting machines beyond the pale, any more.

If we don't take war signals when they come, we'll get the same results as a trader who doesn't take his trading signals when they come. Iraq had weapons programs, they kicked inspectors out, and they were given 12 years. If you don't take that signal, you deserve another 9-11.
And to the comment that EVERYBODY is against us, well if a whole lot of people in countries who supported the war don't count, I suppose. I would rather think that people who lose elections are the ones who don't count.
By the way, would anyone trust the above commenter with the voting machines in Ohio?
