note: I wrote this this morning and put it out of my mind. It’s nothing special, just a piece of my mind. But now that everyone else is talking about Bush’s “doctrine” today, I feel it’s time to point out that there’s no there there.

Those of us who haven’t been wrong about everything over the last several years speak.
You listen.
The invasion of Iraq was a mistake and it has only hurt US interests in the region (not to mention the rest of the world).
Those of you who supported it, especially the so-called “liberal hawks” can kindly shut the fuck up now, because when you supported this course of action you were either being stupid or dishonest and neither is worth listening to. Let those who haven’t been wrong about everything for the last several years take the lead now.
But you won’t, will you? You’ll keep repeating the same ignorant shit, covering for the same failure and mass-murder, protecting the same half-wit pampered pussy in the White House who’s trying to run out the clock on his failed presidency ’cause he doesn’t know what to do, and you’ll keep calling everyone who won’t join you in your fellating of failure “shrill” and “anti-American” and every other coward’s cop-out from a debate you can’t handle.
If anyone is “anti-American” it’s you idiots who supported this war in the first place. You know you have this administration behind you, convulsively kicking in its last throes as it may be. The only reason you are able to continue your sad support of your country’s isolation, impoverishment, and humiliation is because you’re backed up by a huge media machine and the threat of state terror. You’re safer supporting the criminal than you would be opposing the crime. If you really gave a shit about your country, you’d either spend the rest of your lives trying to redeem yourselves or you’d eat the fucking barrel.
But you won’t, will you?
You never believed any of this shit in the first place, did you? You just never had the guts to stand against it. The criminals were counting on Americans to be weak, and it looks like they were right just often enough.
Thanks a lot, weak link.
