Saddam Had No Link to al Qaeda (BBC News Report).

Are there still people on this earth who think that Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11 (or any terror attack)? Do these people read or listen or even have one original thought?

If they had been listening, they'd known we were going to hit Iraq eventually, regardless of 9/11.  How sad and sickening it is that our government tried to sell this pack of lies and even sadder that LOTS of Americans believed it.  Where do I come from?  Sorry to say, sometimes it is embarrassing to be American.  Though I love my country and what we're supposed to be, I hate to imagine what other countries think of us right now.

It's no secret that Bush went into office with Iraq as his top priority.  9/11 just gave him the opportunity.  And no one got in trouble for letting it (9/11 attacks) happen, either.   Also not a secret.

I think this week I am really, really sick of everything (political) that's happened the last 5 years.  I'm sick of the lying about 9/11.  I'm sick of hearing about the poor men at Gitmo.  I'm sick of gov't officials covering up beautiful works of art because they're "not Godly".  I'm sick of losing my civil rights in the name of Homeland Security (and why is it that we have to refer to our country as "homeland" just like the Nazis did?).  I'm sick of our country funding more fuel truck convoys through Iraq instead of funding more aid to Darfur.  I'm sick of the Scooter Libby's getting off.  I'm sick of people's votes not getting counted.  I'm sick of the real stories not making the national news because we are run by fascists.

I guess I'm naive, but I thought that most Americans would be even a little disgusted knowing that Bush lied his way into Iraq and now thousands have died because of it.  I'm maybe even a little shocked that there still is a Republican Party.

So I guess it's okay to impeach a president for getting a blowjob, but we can't touch a president who has thousands killed for monetary gain.  Why do some people think this is okay?  How can any true patriot support an administration so against American values and The Constitution?

Blech.
