Aren't you all proud of yourselves today? |

We are the original 22% who didn't buy the Iraq war bullshit. We marched, we e-mailed, we screamed like banshees. We were slandered and vilified and called traitors, but we knew the truth.
Now, four year after Junior's codpiece stunt, it's nauseating watching all the rats jump off the ship, guys like Tweety and Tenant, denying that they never really supported the war.
Spineless, cowardly worms...

1. Sigh, and Blivet hasn't learned yet. He's still trying to say |
|
Al Qaida is responsible for the disaster in Baghdad.

11. Ya' know, I looked up "blivet", |
|
and confirmed that I understood the "unmanageable situation/self important person" definitions, but I was enlightened to find this also:
"anything which, once unpacked, could not be replaced in its container."

Yeah, * has been a genuine Pandora's Box, alright. Except I don't think that this one has any hope in it. :(

I was so alone in my feelings about that shit, and then I found DU and others who thought that the upcoming "war" was fucked up too.

3. So. I'm wondering if the Smithsonian will want that codpiece... |
|
The gift shop could mass-produce and stock Bush codpieces.
I'm sure they'd be very popular.
It works with baseball gloves. You can get a ballglove signed by Bonds, or Jeter, and so forth. There could be Smithsonian gift shop codpieces signed by various PNAC luminaries.
The Richard Perle codpiece.
The Doug Feith codpiece.
The Stephen Hadley.
And of course, George SlamDunk Tenet.
I think we're talkin' brisk sales here.

100 years from now, the Smithsonian tour will feature the codpiece, and an inscription underneath it will read, "When America Lost it's Mind."

9. Those photos from the aircraft carrier that day... and the "Mission Accomplished" |
|
sign... O boy what arrogance. Dubya thought he was creating a hero's history book chapter that day, but things haven't quite worked out for him since.
He'll still be in the history books, but for all the wrong reasons.

Henry the VIII codpiece-at least he was man enough to fill it.
I was silently going crazy before I found this site. I talked very discreetly with a coworker that was from Milwaukee. We were just as upset as the next people about 9-11, but we figured this out with google and geopolitical history. She gave me a lot of psychological in site on his personality. She pegged him as a dry drunk before I heard the term anywhere else.
I was in Texas before he went National, so I figured he couldn't find his own ass if he had a flashlight, map, and used both hands.

8. Hi, Anne. Yep. Finding his hindend would be a struggle left to |
|
his own volition. There just doesn't seem to be a lot going on between this guy's ears at all.
I first bumped into the dry drunk talk on DU also. I hadn't given the drinking stories the same weight as others, but I'm seeing it now as a much more viable explanation.
You've come through a lot with Dubya if you were there when he was governor. That must have been difficult. Even Schwartzenegger looks halfway good next to Dubya.

18. Arnuld at least has shown some ambition... |
|
and made something of himself. Dubya is nothing more than a kernel at the bottom of the popcorn bowl-good for nothing. We call those kernels old maids-but calling Bush one is an insult to little old maids everywhere. We need one like Aunt Bea or Aunt Polly to pin his ear now and again.
If you every get the chance read Bush on the Couch by Frank. Guy is a psychiatrist and did a psychological autopsy on Bush. Now before you knock the technique, remember the CIA does these on every leader in the world-so it is accepted practice.
It paints a sad and disturbing portrait of Bush.
:hi: good to see you again OC

4. Tweety will claim he was against ithe war from the beginning... |
|
...and yet will never acknowledge that he participated in the drumbeat and sang GW's praises every chance he got. What a hypocrite.

10. I'm part of the 10 percent club |

I joined DU when * approval rating was at 90 percent. I didn't approve of him and I didn't approve of his war many months later.

13. Not exactly proud...vindicated maybe. |
|
Clearly, it's not something one likes to rub in their faces because this mess has had such horrible consequences.
It is nice to know that at least a few people have seen the light from our efforts. But people like Tenet acting like they were sympathetic all along is, as you say, nauseating.

phone calls to Ohio and Florida trying to get people to see why * was a bad man to vote for.

fist fights with people back then. Saying "I told you so" doesn't bring back all the lives lost though. May those then-gleeful murderers all burn in hell for what they have wrought, I don't care if they're waking up now.
