War Crimes: MSNBC's Chris Matthews Calls For Iraq Hearings

I hope he starts something. The war criminals have a lot to answer for.

supporting and cheerleading for this war when it started.

Al Gore in '00 and Kerry in '04. He's got a lot of apologizing to do - this johnny comelately.

depths of duplicity to which Bushco could sink. Yes, they should have paid attention and yes, they should have understood what many of us did, but our country had literally just been attacked and people were fearful. Have some compassion. At least he's still not supporting it AND wants to go after those who are responsible.

we do everyone a great disservice.

Fer Chrissakes, what to these people have in common?:

John Dean
David Brock
Wendell Potter
John Perkins

etc.

Very gutsy indeed given what just happened to K.O.

and ask the Senator to push for hearings on Iraq War.

Seems like a strange issue to bring up now, when the focus of this country is in the political warfield of Wisconsin. As many rightly note, Matthews was 'all in' on the run up to Iraq2. He'd occasionally ask a relevant question, but then his meds would be adjusted and he was back to pimping Bush and the policy.

OTOH, we know that war crimes were committed, it's just that political courage is needed to demand justice. Iraq cost this country a lot of dead and disabled American soldiers, countless innocent Iraqi casualties, our International reputation, and around $2 TT in total Treasury/economy losses. The Casus Belli was a lie. And Bush/Cheney aren't held accountable. I'm all for a serious national discussion on ths issue...but I I wonder why Chris would start trying to promote this issue now, given the current events focus of the country today.

I'm not sure, but I think it's in that realm of: First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you and then you win. I think that those who were use to living off the crooked system, now realize the jig is up. People are just not going to take it anymore.

The tide, it is finally changing.
