Five Years Already? Has It Realy Been that Long?
Just another day in the 21st century. The world is crazy place. The Bush administration continues its jack-booted dance party across the face of the Constitution. Weather patterns are in upheavals. Oil prices are over $80 a barrel. Prices for everything else aren't far behind. Britney was ordered to turn herself in after a hit-and-run in August. J-Lo has twins. Oorah! Ain't that wonderful.
And, in case you missed - because you've certainly heard little of it from your standard mainstream media outlets - today is the 5th anniversary of Congress giving Bush the authority to attack Iraq.
There were 23 others who voted "No" as well, but Barrack Obama would like to remind us all that he is the only presidential candidate who can say that.And here is a little reminder that even though he's crazy as a loon now, Senator Robert Byrd (who also voted "No" by the way) had some pretty cogent thoughts as we hurdled toward a preemptive war:
To engage in war is always to pick a wild card. And war must always be a last resort, not a first choice. I truly must question the judgment of any President who can say that a massive unprovoked military attack on a nation which is over 50% children is "in the highest moral traditions of our country". This war is not necessary at this time.And Jimmy Carter says Uncle Dick is a militant.
