MSNBC and Rachel Maddow..

Yeppers two very "Unbiased" sources.

Makes me want to just run out and "watch" this show....

You should.

No doubt..she is biased. But her research is impeccable.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Plenty of blame to go around and plenty of people to pin it on, kiddies.

YEP!!!!

[Mr. Shaman]

Not good enough.
A war crimes trial for those concerned has to be the way forwards, perhaps even treason considering they killed so many Americans.

Nothing the Bush administration did was treasonous.

Criminal, yes..but not treasonous.

trea·son
/ˈtrēzən/
Noun
The crime of betraying one's country, esp. by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government.

be·tray
/biˈtrā/
Verb
Be disloyal to: "he betrayed them".
Be disloyal to (one's country, organization, or ideology) by acting in the interests of an enemy.

I wonder if selling American lives for profit could be considered, betrayal.
In my humble opinion, he did exactly that and it cost a lot of lives.

That would have been The DICK; Cheney.....

No he absolutely did not. Bush truly believed in what he was doing. I can't say that about the folks he surrounded himself with..but Bush himself?

He did all the wrong things for the right reasons. He truly thought that Saddam Hussien was a huge threat.

Bullshit. It was one MORE Bush oil-deal gone BAD!!!

He, and his puppetmaster, figured.......

....if Hussein was taken-out, ALL (previous) oil-contracts, with Hussein's government, would be considered NULL-AND-VOID.....and, we could simply walk in and call their oil a "spoil of War"!!!

As usual......Lil' Dumbya FUCKED-UP!!!!!!!!​

.....Lil' DUMBYA!!!!!​

"Kagan was not only wrong — with his influence factored in, in he was dangerously wrong. It is easy for all to see in retrospect what sage observers saw at the time — that Saddam Hussein posed the same level of threat to the United States’ vital interests that he did to Europe’s: none. Had Iraq developed weapons of mass destructions, it would have been a problem for the United States, as it would have been to European nations. But it would not have been a profound threat, leaving aside the fact that the Bush administration manipulated intelligence to inflate the alleged threat. The same with Iran, North Korea and other so-called rogue states — problems, yes; threats, no. When it came to Iraq, France and Germany were correct, and the United States was not. The United States does have burdens beyond those of European countries — but it assumes far more burdens than it needs to, and those cases were the source of European complaints."

So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real ...."Kerry , Jan. 23. 2003.

Explain why Clinton said this after bombing Iraq???

In the first three months of 1999, U.S. led-forces bombarded Iraq with 241,000 pounds of bombsjust shy of the 253,000 pounds dropped under President Bush in the eight months leading up to the final UN resolution before the war.
The Raw Story | Clinton bombing of Iraq far exceeded Bush's in run-up to war; Bush 'spikes of activity' questioned

By August of 1999, American and British pilots had fired more than 1,100 missiles against 359 targets that year alone.
THIS WAS ALL DONE BY CLINTON...
So based on Clinton's experience oh and just a little event called 9/11
What the f...k would you have done differently!
YOU had Saddam a murderer of 50,000 kurds, who destroyed Mesopotamia displacing 500,000 people his sons using drills on tongues.. and
YOU would have sat and continued dialogue AFTER 9/11?

wonder if Doug Feith will be brought up for his setting up shop inside the Pentagon to funnel unconfirmed reports to the WH?

Douglas J. Feith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In February 2007, the Pentagon's inspector general issued a report that concluded that Feith's office "developed, produced, and then disseminated alternative intelligence assessments on the Iraq and al Qaida relationship, which included some conclusions that were inconsistent with the consensus of the Intelligence Community, to senior decision-makers." This repeated Feith's earlier involvement with Team B as a postgraduate, when alternative intelligence assessments exaggerating threats to the United States turned out to be wrong on nearly every point. The report found that these actions were "inappropriate" though not "illegal." Senator Carl Levin, Chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, stated that "The bottom line is that intelligence relating to the Iraq-al-Qaeda relationship was manipulated by high-ranking officials in the Department of Defense to support the administration's decision to invade Iraq.

Don't miss the premiere of 'Hubris: Selling the Iraq War' hosted by Rachel Maddow, Feb. 18 at 9pm E.T./6pm P.T.

I'll be watching...

I can get into a fantasy film.

 

[AmericanFirst]

George Washington would be lost in today's world.

Obamaturd is lost in todays world.

 

[Stephanie]

lol, hosted by Rachel maddow, luckily not too many people will she her lies, their ratings and viewership are in the toilet

 

[Dot Com]

chickenhawks but NOT deficit hawks:

How the Bush administration sold the Iraq war ? MSNBC

These talking points make it clearer than ever that Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and others were determined–probably from the moment they came into office–to invade Iraq. Paul Pillar–then one of the CIA’s top terrorism analysts—says in the documentary that the 9/11 attacks “made it politically possible for the first time to persuade the American people to break a tradition of not launching offensive wars.”

Especially one with lots of facts and new information - like this one.

 

[Lakhota]

Dr. Maddow's Iraq special is bringing back many bad memories. I still remember the first time I heard Bush try to make the 9/11-Iraq connection. I remember thinking that the American people will not buy this. I was wrong...

 

[NYcarbineer]

This is beautifully done. It will make the warmongers' future, neverending, denials even more grimly comical.
