The Emperor's New Clothes


Dick Cheney was recently told by a female reporter that two-thirds of the American people are against the Iraq War. She said that the public, in general, feels they were lied to. His reply was, "So What?" She said, "You don't care what the American people think?" He said, "We have to move forward with our goals and we can't allow ourselves to be thwarted by the fluctuations of public opinion." Whoa... who is "WE" and whose goals are "WE" talking about?

This is so indicative of the Bush administration from start to finish. THEY have never cared what the majority of people in this country (who THEY are supposed to work for) have felt about anything. It has never mattered how many laws THEY have broken, how many lies THEY have told, how many human rights THEY have trampled upon, or how many lives that are not only lost but ruined by the goals that THEY have felt the need to move forward on.

Let me just say it... this war is not about terrorism. It was never about Osama Bin Laden and the actions of September 11th. It was not even about weapons of mass destruction. Tell me, have THEY found one yet? Just one? No! It's always been about what George Bush and Dick Cheney have wanted. Oil? Nobody wants to say that... Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter... all of these right wing apologists can't be that naive and can't be that stupid. THEY know that Iraq was a big mistake. THEY know that we are not any safer today than we were on September 10th, 2001.

If THEY want to keep being talking heads and play that silly game, THEY can... but, I've got my eyes wide open and I'm not afraid to tell the Emperor that he's naked!

I was watching that clip and when he said "SO" I could not believe he answer her in that way. And he suppose to be the VP I don't know about that one. The Count down is on.

These folks are happy that they are in Iraq by hook or crook, base liars and they’ll never admit it.
