Now turn your guns on Victor Davis Hanson. He's another "scholar" who bears culpability in his support for the war.

Here are the continuing myths of the war the both Democrats and Republicans embrace now, but will caveat later:

The surge in Iraq is working.

The "better war" is the one in Afghanistan which we have neglected.

The current occupation of Sadr City is some sort of "victory."

The Iraqi government is in control of the nation and it's military.

The Iraqi army can exist for more than a day without American "advisers" and air support.

That we should listen to the advise of people who have failed us completely on the leadership of bringing the nation into an elected war: Politicians, pundits, neo-cons, political strategists, the president and his administrative staff, military talking heads, and the press.

Hold them to account Glenn, but don't confuse your intellectual endeavor with appropriate action. People held the organizers of the Viet Nam war (McNamara et al) to intellectual account, but did nothing to change the systems and mechanisms that moved the country to war. Thus, 30 years after that failed foreign policy (Viet Nam), we are a nation with no change or memory and we march to the same drum.

Before we blacklist, jail and then deport her we should hold some congressional hearings to determine who her compatriots are, and flush them out as well. It is my suspicion that this goes to the highest levels of our government.

I'm going to hold a rally in which we destroy the bi-product of terrorism, the Dunkin' Donuts. Join me as we take carton after carton of these obvious symbols of subversion and ruin them by dropping them into coffee and mashing them with our righteous teeth until they are no more.

This is the correct use of the term appeasement.

Dennis Kucinich for president. He was on the ballot in Michigan, he should get half the delegates from that state. It is obvious that "uncommitted" and "undecided" were obviously intended for Dennis. As long as we are awarding delegates to people out of thin air...

"This decision violates the bedrock principles of our democracy and our Party..."

Whatever. A bedrock principle is sticking to the rules, such as no votes are counted from Michigan.

The Obama campaign should state that John McCain has clearly been "turned" by the mole Dick Cheney. These policies which obviously strengthen Iran and are a detriment to America can only be the result subversive elements in our government acting on behalf of Iran. Dick Cheney couldn't do a better job for Iran if he was president of Iran. Those Chi-com torturers in North Vietnam have obviously turned over the Manchurian Candidate password to Cheney and his Iranian spy network.

Then they should wait patiently for a rebuttal.

Throw it out there and see if it has legs... I'm just sayin'.

Or we can cut to the chase and state the real reason for higher diesel costs, market manipulation. People are speculating on energy futures and driving up the price... on purpose.

On Clinton..."adopted some of these right-leaning positions both because she felt as a woman she had to exaggerate her toughness..."

This is not an adopted position. It is a hardened reality. Once you vote for war, you are no longer in the right-leaning political position realm, you are square in the center of the war you just started. At that point, you ARE a neocon.

On appeasement: Handing Kim Jong Il a suitcase full of cash so he won't threaten us with Nuclear weapons is the definition of appeasement.

On Hezbollah: What we don't bother to know/learn about Hezbollah and the ramifications of the divisions in Lebannon will be our undoing in the region. It is a bad idea not to engage these "enemies." It is necessary to comprehend them as something other than a 3rd grade stereotype of "evil." That we still define these organizations as "terrorists," is an anthem to our foreign policy stupidity.

How is it we can sit down and talk to the Japanese Nation, whom attacked us, fought a long war against us, killed many of our nationals, yet at the end of the day we sit down and talk and negotiate a peace? ...Yet we can't engage an "enemy" who has not only never attacked us, but has never attacked any of it's neighbors. They have definitely fought proxy wars, but never as a nation attacked anyone.

Nice article Gary, keep the pressure on.

I question the point and timing of the piece. Calling into question Bill Clinton, and by proxy his wife, at this critical juncture in the primaries is a blatant attempt to influence the outcome.

Instead of say questioning the unseemliness of Dick Cheney's "fast crowd" friend's on the (still undisclosed) energy task force, Vanity Fair decides to go after Clinton. The friendships of the energy task force have much more relevance to every American.

This piece also fails in that it is a character assassination piece with no hard evidence. What is up with journalists thinking they can put together work with just a string of "he/she saids?" Isn't transcribing what "he said," what got us into trouble during the run up to the Iraq war?

Vote with your pocketbook. Vanity Fair needs to feel it on this one.

Stop parroting the propagandist 'newspeak' that serves for language in the media these days. They are not "detainees" they are prisoners. When was the last time you were "detained" for 6 years? They are not "terrorism suspects," because they have never been deemed so in any official capacity. In that they have never been charged with anything, and no one has put their cards on the table, they are simply "prisoners." You have to have a crime and a charge to be a "suspect." By playing along with this language, you support the underlying premise.
