"Through this remarkable chapter in the history of the United States and Iraq, we have met our responsibility."
it's nice to see I'm not the only one who has a problem with that. Chris Floyd:
"We have met our responsibility!" No, Mister President, we have not. Not until many Americans of high degree stand in the dock for war crimes. Not until the United States pays hundreds of billions of dollars in unrestricted reparations to the people of Iraq for the rape of their country and the mass murder of their people. Not until the United States opens its borders to accept all those who have been and will be driven from Iraq by the savage ruin we have inflicted upon them, or in flight from the vicious thugs and sectarians we have loosed -- and empowered -- in the land. Not until you, Mister President, go down on your knees, in sackcloth and ashes, and proclaim a National of Day of Shame to be marked each year by lamentations, reparations and confessions of blood guilt for our crime against humanity in Iraq.
Then and only then, Mister President, can you say that America has begun -- in even the most limited, pathetic way -- to "meet its responsibility" for what it has done to Iraq. And unless you do this, Mister President -- and you never will -- you are just a lying, bloodsoaked apologist, accomplice and perpetrator of monstrous evil, like your predecessor and his minions -- many of whom, of course, are now your minions...
Actually, Chris, Petraeus Caesar is more like the Head of his Praetorian Guard. Or would that be SecDef Gates?
Seriously, this is what the Obi-Wan quote over the Twin Towers image below is all about. Forget all the 9-11 conspiracy theory disinformation and hoopla. We went to war in Irag because of 9-11! There is no other reason the Company could have talked the country into it. It's what they did, and it shouldn't be forgotten.
