We tried to tell them...

[BushOut06]

We told them civil war would happen. We told them that once the Shiites had their way, there would be hell to pay. We told them that they couldn't just ignore a history of mistrust between the Shiites, Sunnis, and Kurds.

Instead, they plugged their fingers in their ears, tried to tell everyone democracy was the answer, that once they had a taste of freedom, these people would learn to live in happy harmony.

These are the same people who said the Iraqis would greet us as liberators, with open arms and flowers.

They were wrong then, they are wrong now. As much as I love seeing them proved wrong, it would have been so nice if they could have been right. It tears me up watching this unfold, just as we knew it would. There's no point in gloating, saying "I told you so". This is real bloodshed, real warfare, real shit. Oh what a can of worms Bush has opened, with no real solution in sight.

This is why Bush needs to be put on trial for war crimes. IMHO, he's every bit as bad as Saddam Hussein. If Bush were leading a Middle Eastern country like Iraq, I have no doubt he would have been every bit as ruthless, if not more so.

1. And the price for being right all along is a media freeze-out

Keep an eye on the commentary: The only people allowed on the air to criticize what's gone wrong with the Iraq invasion (hint: It begins with "every" and ends with "thing" and has 10 letters) are folks who supported the invasion some time in the past. Any responsible voices against invading Iraq from the get-go aren't allowed air time on the networks or the cable shows.

I wonder why?

2. WE tried to tell him... hell, idiot son's own FATHER tried to tell him - n

[EFerrari]

3. Saddam Hussein couldn't do the damage that Bush has already

done if we set him free and funded him for the rest of his life.

4. you don't see any flowers and open arms these days?

[JuniperLea]

5. I wonder if Poppa Bush is proud of his spawn...

Poppa knew what would happen, that's why he didn't attack when he had the chance.


This asshole has followed suit so perfectly... he ran every company he ever ran right into the ground. He is doing the same to OUR COUNTRY!


He needs to be hanged by the neck until dead... and this from a pacifist... jeez.

6. When the * cabal does go to the Hague to be prosecuted....

And he and the rest of the * Cabal are sitting in three rows listening to the charges against them...they will know how an international trial is run.

If the * Cabal is charged with Treason in the US....because the crimes that they have committed against the US are worse than what Ethell and Julius Rosenburg committed....perhaps he will finally learn there are penalties for the crimes committed......

12. Last night at a Constitution vigil protesting illegal wiretaps,

a TV reporter asked me why I was protesting. "Because Bush is a war criminal who needs to be on trial for war crimes," I said. Needless to say, my comment was not shown in the footage on local TV of the demo.

[MadMaddie]

13. Of course not...

There can be no reporting of dissent in this country.....

I think the media Propaganda machine needs to be prosecuted also for aiding and abetting the illegal acts of the * Cabal.....

[coalition_unwilling]

14. Not sure about prosecuted, but definitely boycotted.

I no longer watch any MSM news on televsion and only listen to Pacifica and Air America on radio. I cancelled my subscription to LA Times. And I have a set of internet sites (among them this one) I regularly read to stay abreast of the news.

7. his dad and Gen Schwartzkoff (sp?)

warned this would happen and it's the reason they elected to not go after saddam in 91.

8. I am so scared, my son coould be in Iraq by summer

He is an Army medic, and just got back from South Korea. He is redeployable at the end of the month.
I cringe at the stuff he will see and experience, if he manages to make it out in one piece.

[Katherine Brengle]

15. I'm scared too... my husband is in Iraq now...

That's all I can think about--that if he ends up dying because of this, I am going to be so angry I don't even think there is a word to describe how I would feel...

[LiberalEsto]

9. I think the * regime wants civil war

If they're busy fighting each other, we can sneak in and swipe the oil.

[MadMaddie]

11. Actually I think they screwed that option up too....

I agree with you the ultimate goal was access to the oil....If the new Iraq government tells the US to get out and we fail to do so....they will open the gates to hell for our soldiers by inviting Iran in to help them destroy the occupyers....not a drop of oil will get out....

[Marr]

10. I don't think anybody anticipated

...that a civil war would break out in Iraq.

...the breach of the levys in New Orleans.

...that terrorists might fly planes into a building.

etc., etc.

Nobody in the Bush Administration, maybe. The troupe of morons never had a clue! And that's supposed to be a *defense*, imagine that.

[Harald Ragnarsson]

16. I don't think anyone thought of flying planes into buildings

I'm so tired of the latest incarnation of this lame excuse. They know good and well what they're doing. They're not just incompetent, they are EVIL.

They are breaking Iraq up into smaller, more manageable states. There will probably not even be an Iraq when all is said and done.
