Reply #26: the CARTOON world view

[bpilgrim]

until we shed our myopic storyline it will only get worse.

you think someone would be a tad more upset about being misled about such a serious matter as she/they were especially when they were in a better position than most to know the REAL STORY about the iraq 'threat'.

wtf will it take to get our side pissed enough to start FIGHTING BACK?

if they were all in on it - 'securing' the me ('our' oil reserves) - that would be different :argh:
