(813 posts)...is taking BULLSHIT and, with the help of their media allies, wrapping it in a nice, "patriotic" picture of God, Guns, Guts and the Flag. The trouble is that it's still BULLSHIT and stinks like HELL.
The country was still reeling from 9/11. Bush/Cheney knew that. That is why he was able to, with the help of (inexcusably) complicit Democrats, ram the resolution authorising violence against Iraq through the Congress. Bush had long wanted to settle scores with Saddam Hussein over the attempt on Bush Senior in 1993. PERFECT chance, and to hell with the cost to this country in the blood of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coasties (the USCG's first combat death since WWII) and money/resources.
Bush was able to manipulate it into getting the country's support for the Texan cowboy opening a can of WhupAss against them MOOSLIMS over there, who just HAD to be in on 9/11.
More and more I despair of there being any hope for this country.
