bush, cheney, and their war mongers are all dicks --- they may not go around telling everyone, like paul ryan, that people routinely mistake them for anthony weiner's penis, but they are dicks none-the-less.

Mabus. The 3rd anti christ. Responsible for a million + innocent lives. Just like the 2 before him"¦mabus, spin the ma to a gw and add an h. No friggin doubt about it!

I'm asking people to stop calling it the Iraq War and instead refer to it as the Bush War in Iraq.

As far as I'm concerned, voting for both wars and The (so-called) "Patriot Act" is enough of a reason to be against Hillary Clinton for President. Add to that the eight years she and Bill spent selling out the rest of us to Wall St. and other powerful interests, and you have my reasons for standing against her candidacy with my dying breath. Leaving the Presidency blank on a ballot is preferable to giving even tacit approval ("What choice did I have?") to her. You can always under vote, which I will do, if I do not have a third party choice.

If anything, Oliver could have expanded a bit more in his piece that the war in Iraq not only did not attain the bogus objectives under which the US went in, but has in fact directly contributed to the rise of militant Islamism and Al Qaeda, in Iraq in particular, and throughout the region generally. In other words, the Bush war in Iraq directly led to the opposite of its stated objectives - greater instability instead of more stability in Iraq, greater and ongoing bloodshed with Iraq, and *increased* influence of Al Qaeda and related extremism amongst Iraqis and other Muslims in the region, who did not see Americans as liberators, but as infidel invaders to be repulsed. The Bush war in Iraq could hardly have gifted Osama bin Laden more than by creating tens (hundreds?) of thousands of new converts to radical Islam, who see America as the great Satan, and will carry on bin Laden's agenda against US interests.

For some reason we're getting free HBO, so we saw the 06/13/14 edition of Real Time with Bill Maher. Another right wing empty-headed pundit with a British accent, Tom Rogan was there, and during the discussion, he said, "He (Saddam Hussein) was not a big supporter of Al-Qaeda."

For God's sake, effing son-of-a-bitch, really?

Of all people, sitting right next to Mr. Rogan, was Richard Clarke with hair half burned off from it being on fire during the first half of the Cheney-Rumsfeld administration. Mr. Clarke barely got in a correction saying something like, "He was not a supporter at all" before the discussion was closed. Do you think that did any good? I sure as f*ck don't think it did.

Calm down, everybody. The proliferation of these Neocon jerks on TV is not all bad. Do they raise your blood pressure? Is your rage-meter pegged? Do you shout out loud to the TV whenever you see that old fart McCain loser spouting war on TV? Is your memory of the huge Bush idiocy and the war lies refreshed? Good! All in time for the 2014 elections. All I want to say, is: Please proceed, Republicans. Even some of the more intelligent Republicans are starting to say, "Put a sock in it!"
