ireadthenewstoday

John Fogarty, the former lead singer of Creedance Clearwater Revival, on his last solo CD that came out about two years ago had a anti Iraq war song (boy was he a prophet) he wrote titled "Deja Vu all over again". I mention this because it keeps ringing in my ears as I read and hear the Bushies go on the attack to defend their "war of choice" in Vietnam.....oh I mean Iraq. It's almost the same rhetoric word for word 30 plus years later only from a Republican President and VP this time rather than LBJ then.
But the same old crap that any criticism of this mess the Bushie's got us into is undermining the troops and supporting the enemy. What really is undermining the troops is that they are there in the first place and they got there by one of the biggest deliberate con jobs by a President and his men to take us into a unnecessary war. What really is supporting the enemy is the unmistakeable, and unprecedented incompetence of the Bushie's in waging this war, and the unbelievable partisan propaganda overkill in support of the war.
The criticism of the Vietnam war was different because it was led by courageous and principled patriots in the Democratic party, Eugene McCarthy, Bobby Kennedy, George McGovern and even a reluctant Hubert Humphry. Unlike this current crop of Republican goose stepping partisan politicians these Democrats put their party support aside for the troops and what was best for their country and went after a fellow Democrat LBJ because the war was a mistake.
It is just astonishing that a guy like John McCain could withstand being tortured for many years as a prisoner and not have the guts to take on Bush and Cheney and Rove because they are all fellow Republicans. How and when did Republican partisanship become more important than doing what is best for the country? This is the biggest corruption of the Republican party. They have managed to politicize right versus wrong. Forget about the criminal indictments, Delay, and Libby, forget about all the investigations, Rove and Cheney and the intelligence these are small time compared to the raw arrogance and partisan propaganda that support of the party right or wrong is more important than support of your country.

Way to go Bill, too little too late, as usual. Former President Bill Clinton finally came out and criticized Bush's incompetent handling of the war speaking to American students in Dubai.
One can only wonder when Hillary will get the courage to speak up?

Isn't it amazing that some of Clinton's harshest critics and supposedly pillars of Republican moral values have published fictional books loaded with sexual scenes bordering on porn.Bill OReilly depicts a aging pimp having sex with two 15 year old crack "hos". In Scooter Libby's book "The Apprentice" he begs for a new definition of perversion when he describes a 10 year old prostitute in training being forced to couple with a equally trained grizzley bear in a cage. What kind of demented mind (remember he was the chief of staff for the Vice President) comes up with this sickening and disgusting sexual fiction. How do all these Christian value phoneys like James Dobson and Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, and their brain dead followers deal with this perversion in their political heroes. There sure ain't nothing like this in the Bible.

Hello Blue,

I agree, this war is like watching a bad re-run. I just hope the ending is better.
