From Ed Koch: Let's Stop Destroying the Country We Love

Edited on Wed Nov-23-05 09:43 AM by Fluffdaddy

To little to late for me Ed Koch

The Republicans are headed for a seismic crash in the congressional election of 2006. Their effort last week to embarrass House Democrats by forcing a contrived vote on a non-binding resolution to end the war in Iraq by immediately withdrawing all American troops didn�t succeed and shouldn�t have occurred. Everyone lost, including the Democrats, most of whom supported the Republican resolution. Most important, our country lost. We look foolish and in disarray in the eyes of the world.

1. The current administration has managed to destroy this country...

all by themselves. The blame should be put where it belongs. This country is about the people, not the corporations and war.

2. Piss off, Ed.

It's your party, and you're still with them, and if you can't smell the shit you're hip deep in, your sensory handicaps belong to you alone.

4. Lord spare us these radical centrists and their orders to close ranks

around the Administration. Sorry, Ed. Heard this before during Iran-Contra from you, and those like you. It's not going to happen again.

Go back inside, you're missing your celebrity cocktail party.

9. I stopped reading when I came to this paragraph:

The many Democrats who initially supported the war would like to explain away their votes by claiming they were misled by the President. That claim is the real lie. Bush relied on Tenet, who was appointed not by him, but by President Clinton.

Koch is among those who continue to spew lies about the prewar intel. When you get down to specifics, it becomes obvious the Bush administration cherry-picked, withheld, manipulated, distorted, and intentionally misled the public and Congress.
