So the Black Prince, the Rasputin of the Republican Party, has sternly warned us between the wheezing of his artificially maintained heart...that he WILL NOT ALLOW the Democratic leadership to re-write history.
The current line of attack centers on two principle points:
Many Democrats voted to AUTHORIZE THE USE OF FORCE
Now Democrats are attempting to re-write history for political purposes.
Read on and I will tell you why I agree.
Yes many Democrats authorized the use of force. But "use of force" is very broadly written language. Cruise missiles fired from sea are a "use of force". Air strikes are a use of force. Limited land expeditions are a "use of force". A reasonable person would expect a gradually escalating use of force to achieve the agreed upon goal without commitment of an invasion and occupation as a first use of force.
Yes, Democrats are re-writing history. They are re-writing the fictitious and poorly written history composed by the Bush administration. Only the hacks of dime-novel
fiction could possible come up with the accusation that Democrats are now re-writing history for political purposes.
If anything Democrats are only guilty of voting against their own hearts for political purposes, and voting with the hearts of their constituents who were corruptly deceived by this White House while they cowered under the lingering shadow of fear left by 9-11.
Was it not a clear re-write of history for political purposes to suggest that Iraq was involved in the 9-11 attack? Was it not a re-write to suggest they supported Islamic extremists? These clear and definitive alterations of fact were piled on top of mountains of misinformation and gross misinterpretation of intelligence.
The Vice-president has no shame. But of course that has been evident for a long time.
