And, we MUST hold the Democrats responsible, too.   For doing NOTHING.

NANCY PELOSI, in particular, had a chance to advance legislation that required Bush/Cheney to get Congress' approval BEFORE attacking Iran.   That would have brought forth debate....at least.  

But NO.....she went to the AIPAC Jewish Lobby luncheon, gave a talk, was booed off the stage.....and went promptly back to her office and stopped that legislation.

SHE NEEDS TO BE HELD TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS!    Had she put impeachment ON THE TABLE....where Americans want it for Bush/Cheney.....we might have avoided what will surely be THE biggest disaster this country ever undertook.   It will (finally) ruin the economy, solidify that the United States of America IS THE TERRORIST NATION we accuse everyone else of.....and will put the final nail in our coffin in terms of any future for the young people of this country.

It is scandalous.....shocking.....outrageous......and yet we sit here and wait for it to happen.

It will happen.    Chimp and Darth have "decided" it.   No one dares challenge them.   No one has balls enough.    Not even the generals who will carry out what they know is wrong.

Hard to sit here and wait for it to happen.

I think AIPAC is playing a much more significant role in the upcoming US attack on Iran than it did in the invasion of Iraq. At least a case can be made that controlling Iraqi oil is good for US interests, if you ignore the fact that colonialism doesn't work any more. The only reason for attacking Iran is Israel's obsession with eliminating any significant military powers in the region other than itself, other than those firmly in the US-Israeli orbit.
