The lesson is that most people really don't care that their leaders are A$#%(* LIARS. The end..which in itself is a LIE, justifies the means which is a litany of LIES. Yawn. Who won the Grammy's? Uh...just in cased some people care... here's a good read to wake us up.
THE LIARS' DEN!
A lie told often enough becomes truth
THE PROBLEM
What a proud moment in our history, as Condoleezza Rice was sworn in as the nation's new Secretary of State! How comforting it was to know that one liar had just succeeded another into a post that demands the respect and confidence of the entire international community. It's time to say it as it is: Rice lied to us. Powell lied to us. They lied, period. And very few people seem terribly disturbed.
Their lies involved our national security and our preparedness for and possible complicity in the events of 9/11. Their lies cajoled an unsuspecting public into accepting an illegal, immoral, and bloody war. Their lies were calculated and repeated time after time without challenge without retraction. But then again, why should anyone be surprised? After all, Rice and Powell were in good company among the other denizens of the Liars' Den, where lying on a grand scale to the American people and the world is policy.
Americans have been lied to before. We were lied to about the Gulf of Tonkin. We were lied to about Watergate. We were lied to about Iran-Contra. We were lied to about Gulf War I. Maybe we've grown accustomed to the lies.
This time around, however, we were lied to in spades. We were lied to about 9/11. We were lied to about what they knew and what they did. We were lied to about Iraq. We were lied to about links between Al Qaeda and Saddam. We were lied to about aluminum tubes and uranium deals and mushroom clouds. We were lied to about chemical weapons and imminent threats. We were lied to and lied to and lied to about the reasons for waging a war against Iraq. But most of America didn't seem to care....
