…but I think it's rude to scream on somebody on their own site.
The villain is my boy Cobb:
That's because we talked about it when it happened, dawg.
You mean the dead ones we noticed years ago or the ones we don't want to see killed in further unnecessary war?
And if you were President, we'd be talking about you high moral standards,
But this election isn't about what you said. You or any other blogger.
It's about what the Bushistas said. And did.
Best of all, though, was the excerpt you pinged me with (that's right, ladies and gentlemen, he asked for this):
WHAT A LOAD OF…
ahem
It is our humanitarian concerns that makes us break with Bush. And it's not limited to Iraq. YOUR president said Saddam could remain in power if he disarmed. That means armament was more important than human rights to him if he was telling the truth.
The most humanitarian thing we could do for Iraq at this point is get the hell out of their way. But we're set up to keep a huge occupying force there for at least three years. We've nationalized…excuse me, imperialized their economy. Humanitarians do THAT kind of shit all the time, right?
Standing by these…neocons…would be abandoning humanitarian concerns in favor of a policy of aggression designed to make the world recognize the USofA, not as its leader, but as its master.
Fuck that.
Except for the last two words, that post is pretty much the entire mission statement of my own website. Oh, yes, and I didn't pick on Cobb.
We Americans are really unaware that our foreign policy has reverted to that of the 19th century great powers.
