"There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people." Each American soldier who dies, and each person they killed, has died needlessly, pointlessly, for a filthy lie.
Bush Junior and his failed Administration lied about Iraq, WMD, and reasons for going to war. They deliberately sent our men and women, our children, into a bloodbath on false premises. If this is not a reason for George Junior's impeachment, I don't know what is.
Bush Junior won't protect our borders, but he'll drop bombs on others. Especially if his daddy is still mad at them.
Do you care if your son or daughter dies in vain, for a lie? You should.
Hooray for Berkeley and the brave actions of Code Pink in attempting to kick the Marine recruiters out of town. Military recruiting offices are the gateway, the portal to death, torture, waterboarding, and post-traumatic stress disorder. We should kick them out or shut them down. When the Bush Administration starts telling the truth, we can open them back up. Maybe.

In the end....it was the calculated drumbeat of false information and public pronouncements that ultimately misled the American people and this nation's allies on their way to war.
Bush and the top officials of his administration have so far largely avoided the harsh, sustained glare of formal scrutiny about their personal responsibility for the litany of repeated, false statements in the run-up to the war in Iraq.
There has been no congressional investigation, for example, into what exactly was going on inside the Bush White House in that period. Congressional oversight has focused almost entirely on the quality of the U.S. government's pre-war intelligence — not the judgment, public statements, or public accountability of its highest officials. And, of course, only four of the officials — Powell, Rice, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz — have testified before Congress about Iraq.
