War Supporters say "Stop looking at the past and what led us to Iraq. We're there now."
There's no reason to look at what led us to Iraq.

Right?

WRONG!

Nothing has changed that would prevent another Iraq War from happening.

Sure our people in Congress are a bit more skeptical of Bush, but that's rather meager

The same political and governmental machines are still in place.

The same people who led our country to war are, for the most part, still in power. Even Paul Wolfowitz will soon be in a government position again.

We need a ban on White House propaganda, such as the propaganda that came out of the White House Iraq Group.

We just can't let the Executive Branch create out of control and illegal intelligence setups, such as the Office of Special Plans.

And we need to hold people accountable when things go wrong.

We can't ever forget why we were misled into Iraq, and we must change the way things are run the first chance we get.

1. It's their followup to "Get Over It"
to the Bush theft of 2000, which installed this crime syndicate.

2. Yep, with that logic if a bank robber gets away with the money, he should
be able to keep it. He has it now. It's all in the past. Get over it.

Next time you hear those talking points from some RWer you know, just come back with this little analogy that they might be able to understand.

3. If you ignore the past, etc.
"And we need to hold people accountable when things go wrong."


My thoughts, exactly. NOTHING is going to change if we just "move on" and "get over it". I am so afraid, whoever gets elected next year, that in the interest of "healing" the nation, that the * criminals will be given a pass.

4. Quit reminding us how we got away with murder. Can't you see we're busy strangling somebody?

wow. The Pukkkes seem to have a chip missing.

Never mind, it's just the typical guilty response.

6. Another way to turn it on them ... since they cited Clinton as why they went in,
ask why they went on the word of someone who was so obviously wrong?
