Dick Cheney admits to supporting the use of war crimes. Why is he not under arrest? The former VP freely admits to violating the Constitution in one of the most harmful ways so why hasn't someone arrested this EVIL bastard?
Nobody died b/c of Watergate but the country came to a halt until there was a full airing of the crimes.
Many have been brutally tortured yet there is absolutely no publicly available proof that these war crimes saved any American lives.
Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis are dead, millions are displaced
Thousands of Children from the US, UK and the other countries in the "Coalition of the Willing" are dead, tens of thousands are maimed and hundreds of thousands are permanently mentally scarred for no reason other than a bunch of civilian Vietnam era draft dodging chickenhawks DC wanted to get their war on.

Well, at least you're doing an admirable job of holding onto your objectivity in this dark time.

I feel your anger, but this is a terrible post by any standard.

Woooo. Nice framing there.
Haven't you read around on MeFi a little bit to see what the standards for a post are?

I'm sure there's an appropriate sound effect for a post that's so right about reality and truth, and so wrong for MeFi. Wa-wa-waaaa. Something like that.

Strangely enough, no other posts have used the tags "spineless", "willful", or "usual".
