Where are our politicians standing up to this? Where is congress? Where are our presidential candidates on this?

Someone should be making a speech tearing into the Bushies for this.

Almost 44 years ago a terrible policy mistake was made based on a myth. It was a policy mistake that resulted in one of the longest wars in American history and left our nation torn apart. The echoes of that mistake have resonated through the generation and helped increase disturst in our system of government both within our nation and without.

We heard that echo again after the current administration chose to invade Iraq using fabricated intelligence. They used lies about Aluminum tubes, chemical and biological weapons, and yellow cake uranium.

We cannot afford to have the administration sabre rattling around while it looks for any rationalization it can find to create another war. We cannot accept a president or presidential candidate that is willing to lie or accept lies designed to foment a war. And we can no longer abide by a president who willfully accepts or creates lies regarding Iranian nuclear capacity while simutaneously declaring Iran to be the greatest threat to World Peace.
