"Where is the outrage?"
Kirk in Mesa appears to agree with Gary in Chandler. Anger, anger, everywhere anger! The Liberal media-myth isn't true because if it were, Bush would be facing Articles of Impeachment in the House even today!
When the Watergate scandal was unfolding, our nation was justifiably outraged. We were justifiably outraged that the Nixon administration was involved in the burglary of the offices of their political opponents and the cover-up of this crime.
However, it seems to me that the Watergate scandal pales in comparison to the George W. Bush administration's lies to the American people and the world about the reason to attack and invade another sovereign nation.
Where is the outrage?
Where is the outrage that the so-called weapons of mass destruction had absolutely nothing to do with why the Bush administration wanted to invade Iraq? The Bush administration was not deceived about weapons of mass destruction: the Bush administration did the deceiving.
Where is the outrage that thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens and American soldiers are dead or crippled for life because of the lies of the Bush administration?
If I had to guess based on this short blurb, I'd say that Kirk went to bed one night in January, 1991 and in his best Rip Van Winkle imitation woke up last week. Read a book Kirk. Or two or three.
While Kirk--and others assuming they get a grasp on the facts and history--might be able to make a case that given what we knew and did not know about Saddam that invading wasn't a good idea, nobody is allowed to conveniently rewrite history and ignore the contribution of Saddam's deceipt to the intelligence failures of the Bush Administration.
