Human Behavior Science: When you don't call SOME people out on their mistakes they'll

...act like they never made any.

I truly believe the Bush admin and it's ilk, including Judith Smith... have their mouths open because few in their inner circle told them they screwed up...

These people, in their own bubble, believe they have a ounce of credibility in the Iraq mess they help create...

Let me know what you think

They also know other people may define it that way but other people don't count.

and Halliburton made out BIG in the Iraq War II. The figure I've seen tossed around is $39.5 BILLION in profits. Most of it coming from the American taxpayer.

That's not a mistake, that's a good business investment. And if a few hundred thousand people had to die? Well LOOK AT THAT PAYOFF!

Something like "When someone makes a mistake that makes them a lot of money, expect them to make that same mistake over and over."

the day they illegally invaded Iraq. They should have been impeached then but their party is too corrupt to consider it.

The day we found out they'd abrogated the Geneva Conventions was another fine day for impeachment and removal but their party was still too corrupt. Besides, the cash flow was outstanding.

The country won't have a chance in foreign politics until we clean house. We have absolutely no legal or moral leg to stand on. If we try to negotiate as an honest broker, we'll be a laughing stock and we'll deserve it.

"Why isn't s/he in prison?" should be said aloud in public whenever we see them on those now ubiquitous TVs, tuned to either CNN or Pox.
