my favorite part of all of this is that now the official line from everyone who supported the war is that they were fooled by bad intelligence. I was there for the runup to this unjustified war. Millions of us took to the streets to say that the reasons for war (iraq had WMDs, iraq was involved in 9/11) were clearly and obviously horseshit. We all knew there were no WMDs. Geroge W Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Colin Powell expect you to believe that they got fooled but that I as a 19 year old busboy from Pittsburgh had better intelligence than they did. And everyone just let them off the hook.

Absolutely fucking evil people. Every last one of them. Millions and millions of deaths because they lied.

I blame Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfield for at least a portion of my lack of direction and current status.

I had intended on joining the military with the hopes of getting some technical training and discipline that I could use to get a good job, instead I had to watch these greedy fucking assholes manipulate the country into a completely unnecessary war that only served to destabilize the middle east and funnel taxpayer money into the hands of Cheney and Rumsfield... By the time I was out of highschool in 2004 I said fuuuuuck that noise. I'm not going to war to make those fuckers even more wealthy for some quite obvious bullshit...

Slightly related but the cartoon The Boondocks has an awesome episode that's a metaphor of sorts for the Iraq war. I don't know the name, but i think it's the one where they are looking for the "Xbox killer" and the characters literally represent Rumsfield (the evidence of absence isn't the absence of evidence lol) and Bush Jr. They even go hold up a 7-11 with a cashier that looks like Saddam and they press him about a weapon that he isn't holding, looking at a cop gaslighting him too about the gun that the cashier doesn't have lol

That war served to destroy my generation but we got Obama in and changed the country. Fuck the conservatives to hell (too bad it doesn’t exist).

I once read in an interview that putin said he'd had found wmds there if he was in charge :D

He's a hero in my house.

You are ruled by evil ghouls. If it weren't for the coup, I would have ranked Donnie a better president than Bush II.
