Fighting the War on Error

For our amusement: Bush's amusement


This is a pretty good video from one of the best liberal political blogs on the Web, Crooks & Liars.

California Democratic Rep. Pete Stark finally said what Democrats should have been saying years ago about President Bush's War in Iraq. Predictably, it didn't take long for the outrage to come from Republicans, who demanded an apology.

It amazes me that both sides of the political aisle spend so much time condemning one another instead of tackling the real issues that matter to America, like ending the war, which is costing us billions, and even more tragically, thousands of U.S. soldiers' lives and tens of thousands of Iraqis. Yet, the status quo is fine with all of those issues, and Congress does nothing, except send the Bush Pentagon tens of billions in additional funding to continue the war.

What's the real outrage here?
