I've been fighting to end the war in Iraq since the summer of 2002.
I wrote the first book saying there were no WMD there, no al Qaeda there (until we invaded, of course), no 9/11 connections there, and no reason to go to war there. I wrote another book (my third) that heavily emphasized the need to be gone. I traveled to virtually every state and a bunch of Europe, some 800,000 miles in all, speaking to any and all who would listen about how wrong the war was. I have written probably 100 articles on the subject.
The last combat brigades are leaving: http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=114324...
We have to get the rest out, and that soon. And that means the military contractors, too.
But this...this...I honestly never thought I'd live to see the day.
We're not done. I'm not done.
But this is huge.
Welcome home, troops. May you never, ever, ever, ever be used so poorly again.

As their convoy reached the barbed wire at the border crossing out of Iraq on Wednesday, the soldiers whooped and cheered. Then they scrambled out of their stifling hot armored vehicles, unfurled an American flag and posed for group photos.
For these troops of the 4th Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, it was a moment of relief fraught with symbolism. Seven years and five months after the U.S.-led invasion, the last American combat brigade was leaving Iraq, well ahead of President Barack Obama's Aug. 31 deadline for ending U.S. combat operations there.
The usual idiotic responses
No WMD's in Iraq? so I guess Israeli Intelligence was wrong in reporting that trucks and planes were going into Syria carrying something right before the war started? I don't think so!
Huh? He's back?
Sorry, I've been on vacation for the last two weeks and have avoided the world in that time as much as possible. Which was quite a bit.
Not to mention that, noone in the Bush admin or Bush himself ever claimed that Saddam had them yet. The claim was he was working on them and we needed to strike before he had them.

I wrote the first book which was a best seller at the DUmp:(http://karnaj.cantstoptherock.com/LOLPAMPHLET.jpg)
Huh? He's back?He felicitated his memberSHIT back into the hive with Skinner. My bet is via a big monetary donation to the DUmp.

hey!Notch!
Whos more important!! A trust fund leech who has all the literary talent of a guy who does the backs of toilet paper packs or the scummy homeless old lady he threatened to kill?
DU is all about the priorities man. :-)
Funny, but I've never seen him brag about how he completely missed the Rove indictment. The Boston Drunkard has selective memory.
And when the guy who "made" the Bostonian Drunkard, the guy actually responsible for that first "book," got into some, uh, trouble, the Bostonian Drunkard left him hanging, twisting in the wind, acting as he had never existed.
Even though he made the Bostonian Drunkard.
Sheer ingratitude.
I'm referring of course to the child-molester Scott Ritter, and that while he was being hounded and harassed, the Bostonian Drunkard never stepped up to the plate for him.
Maybe they were planning on running a ring . . . of child prostitution? One never knows . . .
