Not much I can add to this:

This is the deranged shit Lieberman said today

"I’m worried that too many people, both in politics and out, don’t appreciate the seriousness of the threat to American security and the evil of the enemy that faces us — more evil, or as evil, as Nazism and probably more dangerous than the Soviet Communists we fought during the long Cold War," Mr. Lieberman said.


It's unhinged shit like this which cost you your job, Joe. Al Qaeda is some motherfuckers in a cave and halfwit wannabe James Bonds. It is not Grossdeutschland crossing the Dniper and blowing away T-34's and it's not the Group of Soviet Forces Germany.

To compare them to massive industrial societies with the power to conquer a continent is desperately sad.

If the enemy is so evil, where is the draft, where is the tax hikes to fight this war?

Because he's full of shit and so are the GOP. There arent three DD-214's between Bush and his advisors. They know about the Army from war movies and games, and asskissing staff officers. Not one has been hit with a pugil stick or hiked through the mud. But they know more than the generals. Dick Cheney thinks he's a tough man because he comes up with hairbrained plans like dropping the 82nd ABN on Baghdad Aiport as if Arnhem never happened.

The pundits and the Bushies are cowards bathed in the blood of soldiers and the innocent. And they think the sacrifice of others redeems them. Joe Lieberman sounds insanely desperate when talking about his war. He wouldn't fight in Vietnam, even opposed it. I wonder if he's been to the funerals of any Iraq War dead, visited any VA hospitals

Operation Yellow Elephant revealed the future of the GOP to be soulless fucking cowards, one and all. Ask them to enlist, they would rather suck dicks in San Quentin first. They want no part of the war they cheer on. They think they're tough men by kicking a woman when she's down or punching Joan Jett. They want no part of brain surgery, missing limbs and PTSD. But on they cheer.

The Democrats need to cut this bullshit and say the obvious, Bush and his war are a failure and as long as they are running it, we will continue to fail. The War on Terror is a war of failure, where we squander precious lives in Iraq to prove George Bush was a better man than his daddy.

Cut and run? Shit, the people bitching about this have no stake in either. It's not their kids flying into Dover seven days a week and making the ride to Walter Reed. We need to get out of Iraq, yesterday. The Iraqis can choose to kill each other or not, but it is their choice, not ours. Pretending otherwise gets more people killed.
