History’s BIGGEST FISH STORY:
And then you read the appalling little story about how BushCo is now "taking steps" to further the investigation into why their original intelligence on Iraq was so painfully, treasonously, colon-clenchingly wrong, why they thought Saddam had giant Costco-sized warehouses stacked to the rafters with snarling nukes and nasty biotoxins and active warheads when, in fact, he had nothing but a couple Dumpsters full of rusty 20-year-old shell casings and a bucket of stale glue.
And don’t forget the part about how Congress allotted hundreds of millions of dollars for the futile WMD search, with no public accounting of the money, and the entire budget and the expenditures are to remain classified, by order of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Ha ha. Sigh.
This is about the time your head spins all the way around and you shudder in disbelief and you stifle a giggle and hold your sides and restrain yourself from gagging, think happy thoughts about sex and love and trees because otherwise you just smash your head with a brick and throw puppies into paper shredders to numb the pain and quiet the screams.
Because if you’ve been paying any attention at all, this is when you remember that it was at Bush/Cheney’s own order that the CIA intelligence reports be intentionally skewed and rewritten, that they doctor their reports to say what BushCo wanted them to say to justify their vicious and unwinnable little war that is quickly shaping up to be one of the most economically debilitating, socially humiliating, deadly quagmires since Vietnam.
And this is when you remember, furthermore, how BushCo forced poor emasculated Colin Powell to stand up in front of the UN Security Council and shake little vials of anthrax and hold up completely bogus proofs, including satellite images of supposed "mobile biological-weapons labs" which were, instead, tanks of hydrogen for weather balloons. New drinking game: replay the video of Powell’s testimony, take a shot whenever a final spark of his remaining dignity dies.
And you sit there and just let it all sink into your skin for a few seconds before frantically brushing yourself off, as if you were just hit by a swarm of pissy Republican gnats. I mean, get them off me.
Does it bear repeating? Are we too far gone? Do we even care that the WMD search has been quietly, meekly, officially called off in Iraq after two full years of ardent searching and after 1,200 of BushCo’s own highly trained scientists and investigators — not the U.N., not Democrats, not icky foreigners, not crazy liberals, not gay-marriage advocates — but Bush’s own people, preprogrammed to dig up the absolute tiniest shred of evidence of Saddam’s gnarly intentions and hold it up and scream in giddy delight, and who found, well, absolutely nothing at all?

The Executive Virus is getting so wary of scrutiny that it didn’t even dare to plant a few WMD’s in Iraq. Things are not going to plan and it’s now inventing reality on the fly. We await the Iraqi election with bated breath to see how the E.V. tries to put a positive spin on what will be an obvious debacle - an election with unnamed candidates and a handful of heavily guarded Iraqis to vote for them.

It is absolutely amazing at what is going on in the US at this time, it seems the entire government ( with the exception of people like Barbara Boxer and few others) along with the media are corrupt and just as guilty. What is it going to take for this administration to be held accountable? This administration is allowed to lie to the citizens and once they’re are exposed people allow them to just rewrite history. And they will get away with it if we leave it up to the GOP controlled Congress & Senate to hold them accountable. I pray that we can organize a couple of million angry citizen to march on Washington and demand justice, and shut the whole city down if we have to, create a scene that will embarrass our government in front of the entire world. Something’s got to be done, cause right now America is joke, and the whole world is looking at us as such. When the case is made to the world to invade Iran, the world will give Iran more credibility than it gives the US and that’s sad. Somethings got to be done about some of this administration’s most vocal propaganda outlets such as Hannity, Limbaugh, FOX News. They are a big part of the problem they are like a disease that’s brainwashing the masses of people and are doing a disservice to the nation.. Their studios and radio stations should be burned to ground, their staff should be harassed and run out of town. Many people are angry, and that anger heating up, if Bush is to be held accountable it will take the people to organize and go into action
