Jon Stewart asked Pelosi why Bush wanted to go into Iraq

And she blew it. She totally fucking blew it. She could have gone into how war is profit for defense contractors. She could have talked about securing oil. She could have described PNAC in some detail. She just blew throught it with a brief mention of PNAC without telling what that is about.

Can someone please tell the sheeple that WAR = PROFIT??? Someone BESIDES Mike Malloy, Randi Rhodes and Michael Moore?

PLEASE SOMEONE GET SOME FUCKING BALLS ALREADY.

Until the democrats have the guts to define the differences between the parties, they will remain the losers. Maybe Hillary and Lieberman contacted her.

she did mention the neocons and all that. So I do give her that credit. Maybe she doesn't want to come across as a "consperiacy theorist". :shrug: She is a politician after all. I wish Jon would have on Seymore Hersh or Scott Ritter!

She dodged answering the question twice!
C'mon! Someone must have the guts to say it!

Had she gone off on defense contractors, she would have looked like a conspiracy theorist, the same way as if she had gone off on PNAC. The average person shuts down with that kind of stuff.
What she said is that Bush wanted this war, period. That is also true, and it throws the ball back in their camp for all the justifications that changed daily before the invasion-it makes it a lot more obvious that the justifications were faked.

If everyone is saying the same thing (the truth), then it cant be conspiracy anymore.

Duke Cunningham got caught getting rich from Defense Contractors. Its not a conspiracy theory, there is cold hard evidence.

and I think that we will start to see things coming out more often. In the meantime, a year ago it wasn't politically possible to say that Bush wanted the war "just because"-it's a slow process, but we are making progress. Patience, friend. It is changing.

:) And I also was surprised she used the word neocon! Did she call Bush one or just "his neocon buddies"?

They really are attempting to spread democracy, or capitalism disguised as democracy, all over the globe. That's the PNAC agenda. Anybody who thinks they're stealing oil or just having a war to make a bunch of money are very short-sighted and naive. They're goals are much much bigger than that. I didn't watch, but from what you're saying, she probably had it right on target.

Clueless people would have learned nothing and are probably going WTF. Unless you are a political junkie, it was a non-answer.

and they have a computer they can type in PNAC and google. ;)

that.

I have fought this battle with educated people for 3 years now... without success.

It is not easy.

or "democracy at gun point". Or mention the Bush Doctrine or pre-emptive wars. Those are the most important points.

She needs to be told to stand up & represent us! Everyone of us needs to write these lame asses and wake them up.

Hello, I just saw your appearance on the Daily Show. Jon Stewart asked you why Bush wanted to invade Iraq. I feel that you should have gone more in depth in this answer. I wish you would have tried to explain that President Bush wanted the war because War = Profit. The Republicans repeatedly bring out the terrorist boogieman in order to conceal the fact that they are looting the National Treasury and US taxpayers with their defense contractor buddies. Our federal deficits have gone way out of control. There are reports of billions of dollars missing that were supposed to be spent in Iraq. Duke Cunningham had to resign because he got caught taking money from defense contractors. Bush wants to stay in Iraq indefinately because it means making lots of money off the American taxpayers. I wish you would not run from this. You have to find a way to educate the American citizens of this racket. Because thats all this is. Please do not fear using this. Explore this tactic. You and your fellow Democratic congressman and members of the Senate have the power to try to expose this racket to the American people and they are starting to wise up. Do not back down, do not take baby steps. Step up to the plate and expose Bush for what he is and rescue this country.

Others please write too: http://www.house.gov/pelosi/contact/contact.html

Thank you, thank you thank you!

We all need to push our Dem. leaders to either shit or get off the pot!

Everybody, please write to her with some positive reinforcement and beg them to stand up for us!

.. that it's been mentioned to. It gets some people to look it up.

That's not blowing it. It's starting to spread it around.

Im just pissed at the microscopic baby steps.

Dump a frog in boiling water and he'll jump right out...

Dump a frog in cool water and slowly turn up the heat, he'll blissfully sit there fat, dumb and boiled alive....

We are dealing with Ribbit-licans here...

Not in the segment I saw...and what a shame. Neither of them mentioned Cunningham either. Maybe I missed it, and if it was mentioned, I stand corrected.
