3. That 11 hours...
"...produced four books, totaling 1,727 pages, that amount to a very long case study in presidential decision-making, and there are plenty of morals to the story.
Yes, Mr. Woodward, and one of those morals would be "Go along just enough and you, too, can profit handsomely from the illegal war and criminal administration."
Well, that's what I got out of it, anyway.
franksolich hasn't gotten his free house--taken from those who have more than one house--out of the
0bamareich yet, and we're closing on the first 24 hours of this new administration.
Maybe Pedro Picasso's still getting his personal stuff out of his second home?

2. And exactly what would THAT be, Mr. Cheney?
I love this line...if it doesn't just further cement the truth that this war was all a sham, few things do..."Colin always had major reservations about what we were trying to do,"
What the bloody **** were you "trying to do?!" What were you "trying to do" when you were CELEBRATING the outbreak of war against a nation you KNEW to be non-hostile? And if this was based upon the invasion, how on Earth did Powell develop such long-standing "major reservations" about what was sold as a reponse to a supposed surprise event? A mondern-day Pearl Harbor, if you will.
Do those words sound familiar?
I am close to literally weeping when I see Cheney look into a fake reporter's eyes and admit to war crimes, while the leaders we elected as an outright rebuke of all things BushCo diddle themselves and take any sort of pubishment "off the table." It's makes me sick.
Oh my.
Nothing a skiing vacation with the wife at Aspen or St. Moritz wouldn't cure, I bet.
