calls Iraq war 'a major debacle' with outcome 'in doubt' -
I saw this headline on the frontpage of the Bee.
"No one as yet has calculated the costs of long-term veterans' benefits or the total impact on service personnel and materiel," wrote Collins, who was involved in planning post-invasion humanitarian operations."
Not quite true. The authors of The 3 Trillion Dollar War have made those calculations and they should be part of the evidence needed for impeachment.
But, back to the headlines. Why now? Where were these critics 4 years ago? Where was the news media? If they had been doing their jobs, we wouldn't be in this mess. A mess that millions of Americans saw coming and voted for the other guy. 4 years ago, with kind of information on the front pages we could have shook our heads, sighed and said, 'OK. The first 4 years was a mistake. An aberration. We've learned our lesson. Never again.' and that would have been the end of the Decider.
Now it's 2008 and thousands more have died since that election. Someone needs to tell me how and why it makes sense to elect someone who thinks just like bush, who has the same goals as bush; heck; he even sounds like him! Why would anyone vote for him?
