Winning the war in Iraq?
Oh, but we are winning!!!
Imagine my surprise when I read an AP article yesterday that the Prime Minister of Britain is reducing their troops by 2008 because"his Iraq plan follows the success of the US troop increase this summer...".
I was appalled that the lies we Americans were told about the Iraq war recently are now being accepted as fact by the rest of the world.
I am old enough to have lived through the Nixon era and saw what this crook did to our country.
The blatant lies started with that administration. At that time we had a press willing to go the extra mile to find out the truth and was not afraid to print it, threats from the administration be damned.
However, there are many of those same men in that administration who learned that you can get away with anything because that administration was not held accountable for their actions.
We are now reaping the results of 30 years ago.
Why shouldn't they do, say anything they want? Who will hold them accountable? The Press? We have no press that is willing to tell us the truth, except for a few stalwarts that buck the system. Every day, lies are told and NO ONE questions it or stops it
The Republicans have built a fantasy about GW Bush since day one when the term Compassionate Conservative was manufactured, and a majority of people bought it.
