Freak Flag Fly

Bush, lockstep Republicans, and clueless Dems say that when Iraq fails, it will be because Iraqis failed to "step up to the plate and fight for their country."

“Blame Iraq” is now the politically safe argument for a range of people: those who want to urge a troop pullout with minimal damage to U.S. credibility, justify their initial support for invading, and/or continue an indefinite occupation.

But Americans increasingly understand that the “Blame Iraq” theme is bullshit.

We understand that is precisely because Iraqis are fighting for a different vision of their country than Bush/Cheney that the U.S. is becoming increasingly irrelevant in the conflict.

We understand that responsibility for the catastrophuck that is Bush’s Iraq rests squarely with those who manufactured “intelligence” out of whole cloth, major media figures and outlets that glommed onto the callow Manichean Monkey-king, sycophantic generals, proudly ignorant administrators in the Green Zone, the Republican Party, centrist Democrats, and the legions of true believers and assorted pussies who enabled a supremely venal and incompetent White House to launch an unnecessary, illegal, immoral, stupid, and counterproductive war.

You fuckwads will not escape the judgment of history.
