Think I may be done rotating the paws on the nuclear mouser.

Dropping that habit.

2. Appropos of nothing

I did post this elsewhere when the subject of who is morally responsible for the War in Iraq comes up. (Note to self: Must remember to not be so nice in GD or GD- P. Must get tough so as not to be viewed as 'weak on morans.')

There have been about a million books now written on Iraq
and how the US got into this fiasco. There has been everything from 'State of Denial' to 'Fiasco' to 'Imperial Life in the Emerald City.'

Not a one of these books has said that the Democrats were responsible for not having a plan for what to do after Baghdad fell. Not a one of these books has said that the Democrats told L. Paul Bremer and Bush/Cheney to disband the Iraqi Army and dismiss all the Baathists from all posts in Government in Iraq. Not one book or official or person who was there, either as an official of the CPA or as an embedded reporter remembers any Democrat saying that it was alright to loot the Ministries in Baghdad, because, after all, free people are free to commit crimes.

I understand that it feels good to occupy that very high moral pedastal and look down on the American people and on the Democrats who voted yes on the IWR. I understand that is especially feels good to unzip and piss on them, because it makes you think that whoever you are backing is morally better than anyone else.

However, it is wrong. The Democrats did not fuck up Iraq. The Bush/Cheney Administration, with help from the Republicans in Congress who dismissed and ridiculed Democrats who tried to warn them away from the monumental fuck-ups, did. They lied to the Congress, to the American people and to themselves to get this war. They are responsible for it and the need to pimp for someone for the '08 race does not hide this fact. The Democratic Party was NOT responsible for this war, Bush/Cheney and their enablers and sycophants in the the Republican Party are responsible for it.

The Democrats have a moral obligation to investigate this debacle and try and get the US out of this situation. That is what they have to do going forward. What they do not have to do is feel morally responsible for the what the Bush/Cheney Admin fucked up in Iraq. They didn't do it. Bush/Cheney and their enablers in the government did.

3. I simply don't know what you're talking about. The ignore button

has me blissful and full of light. If somebody doesn't have anything to say, why the heck should I read it or respond to it?

5. It's a beautiful thing

Along with hide thread. It'll be fun when you check your ignore thread in a few months and discover half of them have been banned anyway.

4. Oh, I gotcha, I am done on that front also.

I began to respond, but decided not to stoke that kitty.

6. That's all they ever wanted you to do - she posts a thread a week specifically designed to bait us

Imagine: how could she bitch if no one responded to her inane flamebait threads?

I'm done too, for good. I guess the mods think this 2008 cannibalism is high entertainment, since they don't lift a finger to stop it, so I'll do my part by refusing to interact with the people who exist solely to provoke and disrupt.
