He got away with everything and if it's not a salient issue in people's minds, then it won't get the attention that it deserves. Obama is right, it would be spun as a witch hunt or as revenge and destroy any chance of enacting the type of change he speaks about.

In short, it's a lost cause. I know people are pissed off, but I think people need to just move on. Not something people want to do but without a mass protest against Bush with a smoking gun, nothing will stick. The only hope left is that historians put him in the history books accurately so future generations can know what happens when someone like him is elected.

While I think it is important to analyze the decision to go to war, holding Senior decision makers accountable is only something that will be done with voters. The problem is that people are already beyond the decision and are not likely to do anything more about it. They simply want to know what the next president will do with the present.

While I'm an Obama supporter, I find that this is one of his major problems on Iraq. He can explain with great detail and clarity of why it was a bad idea to go there but he does not do a good job at describing how we will end the situation besides just pulling out of the country. When John McCain brings up what is going on in Iraq now and Obama talks about the past decisions, which distracts from the real issue of how to leave.

McCain's believes that his decision to go to war was a good one and many in his party would support him on that as well. So to argue that his experience on this is flawed or on trial assumes that he believes he made a bad decision, which he does not.

Nothing is going to happen till June 3rd. I don't know why people are still talking about it as if anything will change. I guess there could be the possibility that Obama wins on Tuesday but without that, this race will go on till June 3rd.

All the important facts and interesting numbers will be relevant then. Who has the popular vote? Who has the most delegates? What states were won and how many?

Only after we know the final numbers from this primary can we sit around and debate what should and will happen. However, it's not like any of us really have a say anymore anyway unless you live in the few states left to vote. So save your energy for McCain I say. This constant back and forth on the blogsphere is just getting really tiring and accomplishes nothing.

If I had to pick a sole reason why I really like Obama it is due to his stance on nuclear weapon proliferation. Nunn co-sponsored the Comprehensive Threat Reduction program with Richard Lugar, the outspoken republican critic of the Iraq war.

This signals to me that Obama really is following the right path towards foreign policy advisors and we will see a real different approach to U.S. foreign policy when he is president. This is a great endorsement for anyone that has foreign policy at the top of their list of issues, which I am one.

FYI

It is always good to revisit the past but in the new media generation we live in, it's only the present (and up to a week after) that seems to matter.

I had totally forgotten about the National Guard story of Bush until you mentioned it, yet I was furious during the day or so that this was brought up. Heck didn't Koppel get the axe because of it? Now nobody cares or nobody bothers to mention it.

You've really highlighted the disparity not between the candidates but the parties. However, aren't they supposed to be the "liberal media"? I thought they were on our side.

Exactly.

I'm glad someone noticed. Too bad most of the Hillary supporters are blinded by their relentless following of her to be objective and see it too.

What is he supposed to do? Buy everyone a pony? His spending is directly related to his success. Clinton wants to constantly bring that up like she's "winning" against his money machine but she has a political machine that is just as formidable not to mention name recognition.

And Salon, WTF do you keep posting these one-sided bullshit articles without any objectivity? I'm really getting tired of this junk.

There really isn't any story here.
