Must see: montage of Bush cabal's Iraq lies

I don't know how I missed this one, but it's been up on YouTube for about 3-4 months now - a great montage of the lies the Bush administration has been shoveling on the American people for the better part of eight years now.

I know what some of you may be thinking - "We get it - the Bush administration has lied to us a great deal."

No so fast. Seriously - John McCain has played more than a small part in propagating these lies, specifically about Iraq. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Condi Rice, Colin Powell and McCain all got various aspects of the Iraq War wrong, and then years later went in front of the camera to totally deny ever having been wrong. Dick Cheney is the biggest skunk, but McCain doesn't escape it, either.

My point in bringing all of this up is this - Why should we believe these people now, most notably McCain? They haven't gotten one thing right about this war yet.

I snicker and sneer every time I hear McCain say that "victory in Iraq is possible," and "We are Americans and we never surrender." I'd think that someone who spent over five years in a North Vietnam POW camp would realize that sometimes a guerrilla war, and the Iraq War is one, reaches a point where it is untenable to continue.

This point has been made by many, and it bears repeating - at what point do America's interests become more important than Iraq's? I realize that we created the mess over there, but it's costing us soo much money and is created so much havoc and chaos, here's a crazy idea: Maybe if we left, the area might actually stabilize.

Not only that, but I heard this point on a talk show last week that has really stuck with me: In Iraq under Saddam Hussein, if people stepped out of line, they might end up in prison, or they might have had their tongues cut out. Now, people are afraid to leave their homes because they might get blown to kingdom come.

For the last two years now, polls have consistently shown that Iraqis were more confident in their future and had a better quality of life under Saddam than during our occupation.

Well, it's heartening to see that the hundreds of billions of dollars we're spending over there is building up good will with the Iraqi people.

At least Halliburtion is getting rich, and as an added bonus, the company folded up its headquarters and moved it to Dubai, where it will no doubt be scrupulously monitored.

I really do wonder where the press has been these past eight years.
