The big lie continues, this time from our Secretary of State: "This war came to us, not the other way around."

CNN.com - Rice makes surprise visit to Iraq - May 15, 2005:
"This war came to us, not the other way around,"
she lied (failing to clearly define her esoteric understanding of the terms "came", "to", "us", "war", or "this").
"When those Iraqi missiles came whizzing over our heads in DC, Georgie . . . I mean Mr. President, made the the most important decision of his life to save lives by killing tens of thousands of Iraqis [and 1,500 Americans]. In forty-five minutes, or forty-five years, Saddam Hussein could have inflicted great intestinal damage on all our major coastal cities with tainted clouds of mushrooms, blah blah anthrax, blah blah september eleven september eleven, blah blah ORANGE ALERT BOOO! BOOOM!" she didn't add (she's saving that as her UN speech before the Iran [or North Korea or Syria] invasion).

Alan,
Do you mean Ken Kesey Kool Aid, Jim Jones Kool Aid, or just run-of-the-mill supermarket Kool Aid? I'm not sure if I understand your reference.
Also, it's funny how the "Liberal Media" doesn't show any pictures of the human damage caused by the aerial bombardments and checkpoint shootings in Iraq either. What's your theory, that if the events of 9/11 were shown on a continuous loop we'd suspend all thought and be willing to attack anybody? I was working in Manhattan on September 11. I don't want to bomb anybody. Period.

Perfect Medbh!
I sometimes think that if/when those who are being manipulated by the upper classes (and their compliant media) with patriotic and religious wedge issues wake up to the ways they've been used and abused as factory and cannon fodder, those "red staters" will be more dangerous to the established order than any of us "blue staters" with our unarmed outrage and nonviolence.
