[Atman]

On C-Span now...hmm...interesting...

1. She lost me when she campaigned for Lieberman against Ned...

TC

[IChing]

2. Only supporting the mental health resources to help our troops

People should turn this on, damn she makes me proud as a Californian

[Atman]

4. It's an awesome speech. You should be proud. Me? I'm from Connecticut.

And I have arguably the worst senator in the entire freakin' bunch.

3. Context:

Joe and I are polar opposites on this war, but we're working together, we're cooperating to provide mental health care to our veterans.

It's a very worthy discussion, but it was coming off sounding like another "Why Joe is so good for America" screed. She moved on quickly though when Biden came back into the room.

5. Applause from the Senate on her speech

[IChing]

6. Boxer is calling out John McCain now

this is a must see

[IChing]

7. Biden is up now

[A wise Man]

8. Mc Cain said that if we pull out of IRAQ

It would be a blood bath. When we invade IRAQ didn't they plan on a blood bath when they marched on bagdad? Its insane to wage war on a country for their oil resources. This is a war base on lies, lies, lies and thief and greed.

9. McCain's hero he quoted was Henry "war crimes" Kissinger

and other neo-cons.

10. Funny, isn't it...

...you never heard these same idiots say "If we invade Iraq, it will be a blood bath!" even though that was precisely what was planned -- a blood bath for those unfortunate enough to be anywhere the bombs of "Shock and Awe". And of course now, we have the entirely predictable (and predicted) bloodletting in the form of "sectarian violence", not to mention violence directed specifically against the US occupying forces.

I will never ever forgive the media for their cheerleading of an illegal, preemptive invasion of another nation that posed no threat to us. They knew it, they had to know it: millions of us around the world knew it, and marched to say so. A pox on them, may their parent companies collapse under their own dead weight, sooner rather than later. May each and every one of those evil cheerleaders suffer the fate of those they condemned by their actions, by their refusal to ever question an administration hell-bent on war, by their refusal to consider doing what is after all their actual job.

Pigs.
