It Doesn't Look Like We're Going To Make It
They just called in the defribillator. We've flatlined. Let's hope the man behind the mask can save us.
I'm talking about America. We are dying, people. We have suffered puncture wounds to the heart and are bleeding internally.
You don't believe me?
America, last I checked, was founded on the inalienable rights that "all men are created equal." Our Senate just voted to repeal that.
Make no mistake, our Declaration states that "all men" are equal, not all American men. Any and all aversions from that very principle is un-American, and is a stab wound to the heart of our very essence.
In another blow to our self-righteousness, we've discovered yet another flaw in our reasons for going to war in Iraq. This is basic stuff -- war should be a last and final resort when we are 100% positive. Invading a country is a terrible business. We should be more certain of our reasons before we allow our own citizens to die, let alone the citizens of another country.
What does this disgusting embarrassment of an administration do? They send the national security advisor to challenge those who dare question the validity of this war. National security advisor Stephen J. Hadley went on the offensive, basically saying that the Democrats wanted the war too. He also goes so far as to chastise those in the House for suggesting that the White House manipulated the intelligence that the country had.
There is no question the Democrats also voted for the war. That is not the point. The point is that the intelligence was falsified and incorrect. Would Democrats still have voted on the war knowing that? I cannot answer that question, except to say that I would hope not. But it wasn't the case; no one knew at the time we were going to war based on lies.
Or were we? Hadley's second offensive concerned accusations that the White House manipulated the intelligence. I don't think anyone in the Senate or House did that. Yet. The media has certainly begun questioning things, but no one has made accusations. Yet. In fact, to date, I think Hadley is the only one on record now as saying the White House may have been involved.
Interesting.
Today is Veteran's Day. Millions of soldiers from wars fought should be honored today. This includes those who have fought and died in this war in Iraq. They are risking their lives and serving our country. As a proud American, I am grateful for their sense of duty and honor.
But if things do not change -- and quickly, the men and women will be fighting for a dead nation.
