I'm so sick of people saying....

[wildbilln864]

the war in Iraq was a mistake! It was a crime! When can we hear it called what it is? A crime! :grr:

1. Yes, 'mistake' is too passive. 'Crime' is more active. Consider it done! nt

[Blashyrkh]

9. Yes, Mistake implies they didn't do it on fucking purpose!

Which they fucking did. Same as when people call them "incompetent".

[Solly Mack]

2. Of course I agree :)

[Lint Head]

3. It's a despicable crime. Bush and Cheney are traitors.

Karl Rove, Rumsfeld, Richard Perle and Wolfowitz should be in prison. Please I beg that someone in power has the courage to right this horrible wrong. :dem:

[SeattleGirl]

4. I agree. Saying it was a "mistake" just lets the Bushites keep

avoiding responsibility for what they did (AND lets the Dems who voted for it do the same).

5. Be patient. They are finally waking up.

The nation collectively went into shock after 9/11, fed fear and terror by the neocons and Faux Noise for years. They are coming back to sanity at last.

Now the neocons and bushbots must claim accountability for backing and rubber stamping W. Republicans don't do accountability.

6. I can think of worse descriptions

7. Too many Johnny-come-Latelies in DC

I was against the war when I was just 16. And I knew my Iraqi history, something the bigshots up there didn't.

8. Agree.

11. Ooooh! I like it!

I never thought of it that way.

I've always thought of it as "We're the neighborhood bullies, and nobody likes bullies".

[doggyboy]

12. I'm sick of people calling it a war

It's an occupation.

:evilgrin:
