So the Fox reporter on Washington Journal this morning says don't bother about how we got into Iraq.
She says the issue is that we are there and if we leave there will be ethnic cleansing.

Will this be how the right deals with all the shit that's hitting the fan about the lies that got us into war? "Fagetaboutit!"

1. But the lesson to be remembered from it is:
Never, ever, elect another Republican administration again.

2. Let's see:
...don't bother about how Clinton got into the Whitewater deal.

...don't bother about how Monica got into the Oval Office.

...don't bother about how Kerry got his meals in Viet Nam.

3. I know they would like us to forget, but we can't. It's too serious
a problem to overlook. This country has been conned into invading & occupying Iraq. The whole process needs to be investigated so that this kind of thing can never happen again.

4. I knew this was coming. It's the last resort of scoundrals.
When all the lies are finally exposed, when the Emperor realizes he has no clothes, they will say "but we're there now and we have to stay the course. After all, if we leave, look at the mess we've left." The answer is something like "deal with it" and something like making sure that all the poor folks that collaborated with us get Visas out and that we make damn sure that they get out and maybe getting a UN force in there to try to mitigate the criminal damage we've done. There are a number of things that we can do but the man in the WH doesn't have the brains or the will to focus on that. In short, the folks in this administration are desperately looking for cover, they don't give a shit about the Iraquis or anybody else.

6. Yes, that's one each, kool aid FOX Pentagon Reporter - Jennifer Griffen
Edited on Fri Apr-06-07 05:51 PM by ShortnFiery
Who believes that her credibility is bolstered by being married to a man working for The New York Times. :eyes: Hey Jennifer, I guess you conveniently forgot that it was the NYT and the WP who were publishing bogus stuff fed to them by The Unitary Executive - promoting war with Iraq? Remember that they apologized? The NYTs is now fully Corporate vice Liberal. :(

Her eyes would light up when she'd talk about the Military Operations. Oh I'm sure the Officers on The General Staffs went out of their way to make this gleamy eyed Pentagon Groupie feel right at home. :puke:

To be concise: She's a sparkly and exuberant "useful idiot" used to spread propaganda for The Pentagon and their beloved corporations within The Military Industrial Complex. :thumbsdown:

7. And There's Not Cleansing Going On Now???
The ignorance of these people only pales in the "esteem" these goons give one another that gives corporate media an appearance of pseudo credibility.

I saw this stenographer and all the softballs lobbed by Mr C-SPAN...a sad display of the denial game these people have and the deliberate deceptions they're playing in order to still believe in the big lies. 60,000 Iraqis have died...and that's a conservative figure...several million have fled and many stand in limbo inside Jordan and other states in the region...driven from their homes due to Ethnic Cleansing.

So the "logic" is that we remain to prevent a civil war/ethnic cleansing that is being waged by locals and going on anyway? :eyeroll:

9. and Bush Inc invaded knowing full well they'd use this excuse
eventually

they knew once in they would promote the it doesn't matter how we got there bs (they knew their multiple and ever changing lies wouldn't hold up)...and that once in, it would be harder to get out

and a lot of people help to legitimize Bush's lies, his war, and even his war crimes, by promoting the same thinking...and I wonder about their motives.

but it does matter how we get into Iraq....it matters greatly

anyone that is willing to overlook the lies and the trumped evidence it took to get into Iraq is someone that is willing to just accept corrupt government..
