A Date Which Will Live in Wankery

Attaturk
Tuesday February 5

Five Years ago, February 5, 2003 -- a date which will live in wankery -- The United States was suddenly and deliberately attacked by loathsome and venal forces of empire of the PNAC.

It was on that day that Colin Powell decided to spend all of his credibility to sell George Bush's War. The war John McLovin' wants to last 100 years. A war that costs us more than $100 billion every year "off budget" (and probably about $2 trillion so far and counting down the road even if it ended tomorrow) and thousands more dead this year.

I don't know about you, but I have not even gotten a f***ing t-shirt! Meanwhile, a lot of fine and brave young men and women (and some not so young) of the United States Military have gotten beautiful funerals and prosthetic limbs. A lot of Iraqis, some brave, some not, have gotten even less.

But George Bush got himself reelected by starting an unwise war, planning it badly, and then using it as an issue to accuse everyone else but he and his sycophants of being cowardly defeatists as we march onward toward the ever undefined, ever more elusive, "Victory". →
