Imagine lying a country into war leading to the deaths
of thousands of your own troops plus a million Iraqis and then accusing the incoming administration what whips your sorry party's ass of putting the troops in danger.

Imagine doing nothing about Afghanistan for six years and accusing the incoming administration of dithering.

Fuck you Dick - you are a proven LIAR and a torture loving war criminal.

Fuck you very much you fucking Dick!!! :puke: :puke:

Thanks Lawrence O'Donnell - tear that criminal a new one.

2. It's nice that Lawrence speaks up now, but do we know if he spoke up during the
campaign by the pentagon to start this madness?

4. I believed the crap initially after Colin Powell addressed the UN on WMD. Sadly I ...

fell for it hook, line and sinker. My faith was shortly thereafter shattered. I have no idea about Lawrence, but I do imagine many got caught up in it all because of the case made by Colin Powell at the UN on WMD. I was too trusting...

9. Just keep my sig line in mind for next time.
E.g. When you suddenly hear round the clock news reports on the mainstream media that because of some despicable/underhanded/terrorist act by the Iranian gov't, the US has no alternative but to bomb Iran.

11. Will do! Also I'm wiser now, late, but wiser! I have no doubt the Iran war drums will...
one day start again. I'm not saying Obama will, I'm just saying no doubt we will hear them again... or some other place. Definitely got your sig line in mind for next time!

12. It's still hard for me to believe that people got sucked in
by that UN presentation. It was so bad and obviously made up thta it's hard to believe people fell for it. "See yesterday there was a truck parked here, and today it's gone". Shit like that. And when Powell actually shook that little vial of anthrax at the committee I was shocked at the crassnes of it. It was so obviously ginned up.

and hopefully many have learned a lesson. After Vietnam I thought we had learned a lesson, but apparently not. Time flies and generational experience changes... Your comments are so true, thinking back now the whole UN presentation was pretty hokey. If we still had had the draft many would have listened more carefully...

6. The one thing Lawrence might have mentioned
was the Tenet's strange 'Medal' for giving Bush and Cheney the cover they wanted and needed. Hope he doesn't end up dead in some lake like a previous CIA chief.

5. Cheney needs to slither back under his rock.
My apologies to snakes everywhere.

7. Joe Scarborough should lose his show on the spot for how he just treated
Lawrence O'Donnell. I am really angry at the yelling, the rudeness, the interrupting.
He should be fired.

10. Joe knows Lawrence is credible so his approach is to
call him crazy, interrupt and shout. Joe Scum is beyond offensive.
Imagine defending Dick Cheney after all the torture, deaths, lies and war crimes.

Fuck both the Dick and Joe Scum.

15. Lawrence just reminded them that the cowardly Dick
is also a draft dodger. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! O'Donnell is fearless - he rocks!! Joe Scum wants to know why Lawrence is going 'there'. Just the truth Joe Scum!!

17. And then Gaffney threw out the line
at the very end, that "his father would be ashamed of him" and Ron Jr. went beserk and threatened him!

Ron crucified Gaffney in the interview... even Mathews was smiling.
