Eric Alterman: Wrong Again
Nearly every day brings fresh evidence that the Bush Administration deliberately undermined the security of this nation by misleading us into a costly and potentially ruinous war in Iraq. If Republicans were not in control of Congress, these would be impeachable offenses--far worse than anything Bill Clinton or even Richard Nixon ever did. And yet, by muddying the waters through clever manipulation of the known facts (free of vigorous challenge from the media), the Administration stands a strong chance of getting away with it. With the help of Republican stooge Ralph Nader and his misguided supporters, they may just win their first election.

1. The concluding paragraph says it all!
How long will the mainstream media lie prostrate for this kind of insulting and deeply contemptuous nonsense, which weakens our nation and leaves us more vulnerable to attack than we were before? Personally, I think it's long past time to tell Mr. Cheney and his sorry sidekick to go fuck themselves.

Amen, Eric. Amen.

2. "our credibility is diminished, our standing in the world has never
been lower, we have fostered a deep hatred of America in the Muslim world", why aren't decent Republicans outraged at this crap. destroying the infrastructure of a defenseless country and slaughtering thousands of it citizens for no reason, why isn't Rockefeller trying to impeach these war criminals. Thanks for the post Joanne.

Eric is one of my favorites.

He sure hit the nail on the head with this one.
