THEY LIED THIS NATION INTO WAR
Week in, week out, the headlines come and go, all ignoring the "elephant" in the room. I am convinced there is a conspiracy in the MSM to divert this nation's rather short attention span. "They" don't want you to think about the fact THEY LIED THIS NATION INTO WAR.
Dick Cheney is allowed to continue in office, despite his part in the PROVED conspiracy that he helped LIE THIS NATION INTO WAR.
A war that has killed over 3,000 Americans, injured tens of thousands more, killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi men, women, and children, and injured hundreds of thousands more ( http://news.yahoo.com/... ),
a war that has cost our nation almost a TRILLION DOLLARS, and made us a pariah around the globe.
And still, despite all of this, and the PROVED FACTS validating the conspiracy, the MSM continues to have on as guests the very traitors and criminals who have perpetuated this horrific crime. The MSM continues to ignore the FACTS, and instead continues to give these lying neocons a platform to spew their propaganda. The MSM is as guilty as "they" are in this conspiracy. They helped foist the lies on this nation. They helped carry and spread the propaganda, and they continue to do so at an unbridled pace.
Another bit of hypocrisy, are the advertisers who are now leaving (rightfully, in my opinion) Dom Imus' show because of his remarks. Proctor & Gamble, Bigelow, etc., have announced they're pulling out. Why haven't these advertisers said anything about their sponsorship of the propaganda fests on Fox News, or Meet The Press? Oh, I see, it's OK to LIE A NATION INTO WAR, but gawd help you if you make a bigoted comment. It's OK to sponsor people like Hannity (hello Chevrolet!!) and Limbaugh, as they spew their lies and hate on this nation's publicly owned airwaves, but watch out....
Don't get me wrong, Imus deserves all of this, but.....
So while a former top Marine general (who just turned down the White House for a top job as "War Czar") speaks the truth, it's buried by the MSM. Not a word of his comments on any of this morning's news shows, and I'll bet there won't be ... ever. To wit (from the only article I could find containing his quotes):
Retired Marine Gen. John "Jack" Sheehan, a former top NATO commander, was among those who rejected the job, the newspaper reported.
"The very fundamental issue is, they don't know where the hell they're going," Sheehan told the Post. Sheehan said he believes that Vice President Dick Cheney and his hawkish allies remain more powerful within the administration than pragmatists looking for a way out of Iraq, the Post reported. "So rather than go over there, develop an ulcer and eventually leave, I said, 'No, thanks,' " Sheehan told the paper.

Why is Dick Cheney STILL making decisions about this illegal war? Why is Dick Cheney not facing impeachment and trial for war crimes? Why is the MSM still giving Dick Cheney airtime to spread his disproved lies? Why aren't the people of this nation demanding his political head on a platter?
It's nice that Abu Goonzales is getting his comeuppance for his part in helping to destroy our Constitution, but what about the lies he and others in this criminally fascist administration used TO LIE THIS NATION INTO WAR?
Where is Phase II of the prewar intelligence on Iraq's WMDs? The Democrats are in charge now, and head the Senate Intelligence Committee (Chairman: Jay Rockefeller), so where is the report? This report would finally, once and for all, lay it all to rest, and would show the world that we are not afraid to clean our own nest.
The report would show (along with reams of other already available evidence), that THEY LIED THIS NATION INTO WAR. Why hasn't there been one, single, solitary word about his in the MSM since last year? Why isn't the MSM calling for this report? Why aren't the people of this nation demanding this report and accountability?
And, as importantly, why hasn't Republican Senator Pat Roberts, former head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, been brought up on charges of obstructing justice, for his part in keeping this report from being finished and released to the public?
There are literally hundreds of people in this administration who are guilty of obstructing justice. Is it any wonder that they have moved to infest our Justice Department with their loyalists, in an effort to stymie any efforts to prosecute the guilty, now, and in the future? How very "Stalinist" of them....
Ok, you get my point. I could go on and on recounting the mis-deeds and crimes of this administration, and the MSM's failure to hold them accountable. But, above all else, and more important than ANYTHING else, is the failure of our Congress, our MSM, and the people of this nation, to hold the Bush junta accountable for the most horrible crime imaginable: LYING THIS NATION INTO A DEADLY AND COSTLY WAR, A WAR THAT CONTINUES TO KILL OUR YOUNG PEOPLE, DRAIN OUR TREASURY, AND KILL THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE
My recommendation? Call, write, and fax the Congress, and the MSM, DEMANDING that they follow up on this issue. Demand Phase II of the Senate Intelligence Committee report be finished and released to the public, unredacted (Rockefeller's e-mail addy here: http://rockefeller.senate.gov/... ).
Demand that the Bush administration, especially Dick Cheney and his neocons, be removed from office a.s.a.p., and brought to trial for their crimes. And finally, demand that our troops be pulled from Iraq....now. The more we allow our attention to be diverted by the "story of the day", and the steady flow of propaganda flowing from the MSM and their neocon allies, the less chance we have of ever seeing justice done for these crimes, and that, ....would be the greatest crime of all.
