I re-iterate: Senate hearings transcripts, 1982-1983.

Well, thanks for telling me the color of the fucking book, anyway. But I'll check. One question before I go: was it chemical, biological, or nuclear that we gave Hussein?

 You will note how the warmongering was first in order to bring the terrorists to justice, to catch and try Osama bin Laden.

Wow. You just -- well, you take my breath away.

Just so we understand, was 9/11 "warmongering" as well, or was that merely on the order of, say, leafletting for a particular cause?

"We don't want you to help out our countries again, especially if they ASK like they did last time. So we're going to fly your planes into your buildings." "Well we're going to hunt you down and kill you, then!" "What? How fucking provocative!"

 Having failed to deal with Osama, the spin machine started focusing on Iraq,

Wait, what would that much-ballyhooed "international community" have wanted to do with Osama, if that operation was such a failure?

Oh, I forgot, they were IN on that one. Good WORK guys!

Oh, but let's be fair; they wanted to get Osama, they MISSED and ACCIDENTALLY liberated a country. What a glorious fuckup! Who's gonna be called out on the carpet for this one! We better cover it up quick by starting another war!

Iraq is intended to cover up domestic and foreign-policy shortcomings with the one supposedly certain people-pleaser: winning a war, protecting America from Iraq's certain bioweapon attack, and bringing democracy and freedom to the world.

Right, even Hitler did that.

Er, well except for that democracy and freedom stuff.

Oh, on that idea of "certain" attack: I don't really favor even a 5% chance of a mushroom cloud over my favorite city.

Meanwhile, Bush first mentioned the idea of regime change during the first presidential debate, and started planning the war at a time when his popularity was about 80%.

In fact, when Bush was more popular, the progressive community was accusing him of pushing for war solely on the basis of his political strength.
