Fedquipsays...*doublepromote
siftbotsays...Double-Promoting this video back to the front page; last published Saturday, June 28th, 2008 7:35am PDT - doublepromote requested by Fedquip.
Memoraresays...And who will bring mass murderers Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld to justice? The gutless Democrats? Time for direct action.
guessandchecksays...The American people need to get smart and get a few hundred lobbyists on our side. Let's grease the wheels of democracy in our own favor this time.
jimnmssays...We shouldn't need lobbyists, they're supposed to be working for us in the first place.
bamdrewsays...gets going with the cheney quote at 2:40...

Nothing.
Unfortunately.
NordlichReitersays...Most people still think that the war in Iraq is a good thing. I however am starting to care less and less about it, because I knew after the invasion was over and the occupation began that this would turn out bad. I was for ousting Saddam, and then leaving the country outright to the Iraqis but could they do that... Nope. They had to stay for the Oil, those greasy bastards.
Now I realize how much of a strategic waste this was. Should have just left well enough alone, and let them sort out their Own problems, while we should have spent the Trillions of dollars on alternative energy.
Nebosukesays...Moyers with the burn. But as someone said above, either the American populace aren't aware or they don't care.
NetRunnersays...With less than 2 minutes of media coverage of the war each week, it's easy for people to let it slip from their minds.
Most people now say it was a mistake, a plurality says it's made us less safe.
People aren't up in arms about it anymore, but when it's gone on longer than WWII, and the American people haven't had to get involved in it, at all, and the media helps bury it, it does fade into the background.
No one's forgotten about it though.
