The Saga of Mess O'Potamia- 2014 Edition Jon Stewart is just brilliant (Original Post)

(90,645 posts)1. I got so agitated watching Jon's clips tonight that hubby warned me if I kept using that kind of ...
... language I was going to be sorry some day when I slipped up and said those words in front of our grandson. Ohhh, Nana, bad Nana.
Seriously, I hate those people. Jon Stewart is doing a real public service by playing all those clips from 2003 and comparing them to the same *holes talking the past few weeks. JUST IN CASE PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN WHO ACTUALLY GOT US INTO THIS MESS.

definitely 'get it' via Jon. One of my nephews who called me after the US won their opening WC game texted to find out if I was watching Jon Stewart last night. He is doing a great public service.
Have a nice day.

(268,949 posts)3. Another take- Jon Stewart rips ‘Johnny Rotten Judgment’ McCain and his band of Iraq war supporters

<snip>
The resurgence of hostilities in Iraq, Daily Show host Jon Stewart said on Monday, has brought with it the return of the band of pundits and politicians who campaigned for the U.S. to invade the country in 2003, led by Sen. John Johnny Rotten Judgment McCain (R-AZ).
Its only fitting that in this current crisis, youd think he just won Dancing With The Stars, Stewart said.
At every turn, Stewart said, McCain has criticized President Barack Obama for pulling U.S. troops out of the region in 2011, without mentioning that it was Obamas Republican predecessor, George W. Bush, who signed the Status of Forces Agreement with Iraq requiring that the U.S. leave the country.
But with Iraq facing an escalating threat by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), a Sunni militant group, not only was McCain back to publicly calling for U.S. military intervention, but original Iraq War advocates William Kristol, Paul Wolfowitz and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
Are you kidding me? How does this guy keep getting booked on television? Stewart said of Graham.
