Iraq-- Dems versus Repugs

The debate last night clearly showed that Rethuglicans don't give a shit about US troops dying, getting horribly wounded and generally having their lives ruined.

And they certainly, obviously could care less for any innocent Iraqis who have been killed in the war that WE STARTED.

So, I give props to the Dems for standing up for some decency here and trying to stop the killing.

However, the Dems do bother me in their recent complaints that the Iraq intelligence was distorted by the Bush administration.

Well, DUH!!!!!

But this was fucking obvious back before the war started! I find it lame the Dems are complaining about the intelligence now that the war has predictably gone bad, rather than calling the Bush administration on it back in Spring of 2003, when it might have made a difference.

Yes, there were many Dems who voted against giving Bush "authority" to use force. And I'm sure they knew the intelliegnce was bogus. But the point is the Dems didn't get their act together, they caved into Bush and gave him bipartisan support, and they let this catastrophe of Iraq happen.

While the Rethuglicans are nothing more than cold-blooded killers, the Dems look like week-kneed patsies.
