Leave Patraeus Alone? - “This man has suffered enough, in my view,” Feinstein, D-Calif.

16. We can argue all day long

We can argue all day long about who misrepresented the reasons for the war, who did and didn't have weapons of mass destruction, whose kids went off to kill and die based on those lies, and who made a buttload of money of the whole endeavor.

But the truth of the matter is that Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, and Gen. Petraeus are damned mad, too, and really don't want to answer a bunch of nosy questions from people not in a position to know (as Sen. McCain admonishes us). So let's just say that everyone made mistakes, put it in the past, and just move on. That's worked so well for us to this point, especially considering that each and every new atrocity generates the same pack of lies, and the American people don't seem to catch on any better the 10th time than they did the first time.
