I am mystified to this day why so many were fooled and why so few used common sense to see that Iraq was no imminent threat.

Was it telepathy - or as my dear mama used to say, <i>plain old common horse sense</i>. But who would listen to us?<br /><br />Russ Manleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722260145543178087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-21865697545606890322013-03-19T10:32:46.289-05:002013-03-19T10:32:46.289-05:00I read the latest on Tricky Dick, who came close t...I read the latest on Tricky Dick, who came close to being canonized several years into his ex-presidency. May we be delivered from further presidencies like those of Nixon and George W Bush.

Manipulation of public perception is one thing (they call it spin or public relations - the relations part being nothing but deceit), but killing our young for profit, that should be the definition of crime, treason, the thing which absolutely disqualifies a person from public office and influence forever after ... but in this time, it just means you get to go on all the Sunday talk shows, endlessly perpetuating the lies. Shame on the so-called journalists for giving these people air time ... shame on all of them for failing to ask the questions and tell the truths that save lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
