The point is that, however sincere they were, they did deceive. They were just plain wrong. President Bush was just plain wrong.
People who make such terrible mistakes should not be retained in office. In large corporations, officials who make similar errors in judgment are discarded (usually with a fat check in their pocket).
The whole chicken hawk cabal should be swept out of office. In American politics, this is usually accomplished by congressional investigation.
This seems like it was written a long time ago, and also from a very one-sided perspective. Being wrong is not the same thing as deception (and I'm not willing to say they were wrong about many of the issues, as this author seemed to say at that time). There have in fact been several investigations into the issue (stonewalled?). And why wouldn't the case be the same against Clinton and everyone all along? Everyone deceived everyone on both sides of the aisle, first the dems then the GOP? Turns out the dems should have been swept out of office for not doing anything about AQ, Bin Laden, et.al, all those years. I just have a hard time with this argument. The backlash is political now, and the American public is weak, tires of war, and quick to dissert a battle when it gets difficult. Dems are capitalizing on those aspects of our society, IMSO. |
