Whatever.... It's so easy to get carried away by Cheney and his incredible ability to survive after his first Heart Attack at 35 years old and more heart attacks after that, a pace maker for years then other manipulations and finally the heart transplant.
He's a Fucking Medical Wonder! When he passes on his heart and body should be preserved like Einstein's Brain.
So many dead...Millions and Millions displaced all for Iraq and then Afghanistan and into the other "Theaters of War" coming to fruition with the Drone Strikes killing more innocents as "collateral damage" to target any and all who are "presumed" by some heirarchy there in the Pentagon to be GUILTY of SOMETHING...by association or faulty intelligence.
He's an example of what can go wrong when folks go ROGUE..but have huge powers behind their ambitions and when they themselves are the Figurehead for others who have Grand Ambitions.

(20,453 posts)I agree, Warpy.
But, if there is a message by Dwight D Eisenhower to remember, it's to beware of the "Military Industrial Complex". Cheney was an insider from the earlier Rethugs' who had that "Reagan's Ruling Class" thing down, and was put on a high mission that could guarantee him the best team of lawyers on earth.
So, how does a murdering treasonous act end, after all those worldly rewards?

(53,339 posts)While the Iraq invasion was totally unjustified and criminal, I believe there was justification to go into Afghanistan and take out the terrorist organization that attacked the U.S. But it should have been an in-and-out strike operation, not an occupation. Not a war.
My war experience and exposure to the carnage caused me to hate war and embrace pacificism. At the same time, I believe there ARE things worth fighting for--and worth dying for. They're just not the same things that our chickenhawk political leaders and the neocons want to go to war for.

(8,636 posts)The photo -- widely published in newspapers -- showed a distraught Mary McHugh lying on her stomach in front of the grave of her late fiance, James Regan, who was killed in Iraq this February by a roadside bomb. The picture was taken at Arlington National Cemetery during Memorial Day weekend.
"She sat in front of the grave..., talking to the stone," wrote Moore, who has been a photojournalist in Iraq and Afghanistan during the past five years. "She spoke in broken sentences between sobs, gesturing with her hands, sometimes pausing as if she was trying to explain, with so much left needed to say. ...
"Clearly, she had not only loved him but truly admired him. When he graduated from Duke, he decided to enlist in the Army to serve his country. He chose not to be an officer, though he could have been, because he didn't want to risk a desk job. Instead, he became an Army Ranger and was sent twice to Aghanistan and Iraq -- an incredible four deployments in just three years."
Moore concluded: "Some people feel the photo I took at the moment was too intimate, too personal. Like many who have seen the picture, I felt overwhelmed by her grief, and moved by the love she felt for her fallen sweetheart.

The big, corporate media outlets just parroted the narratives their parent conglomerates told them to parrot. They turned into little more than PA systems for pro-war propaganda for quite a while. Anyone who asked the obvious questions was fired.
And that's why these pigs weren't prosecuted as well. It wasn't just the Bush Administration, but our whole corporatocracy in general. Essentially, the 1%. They wanted that war in order to seize control of Iraq's oil.

Hekate
(100,133 posts)Outraged that the Bush administration had barred U.S. media from photographing returning coffins containing the war dead from Iraq, founder Stephen Sherrill, along with a small group of local activists, erected the first installation of what has become widely known as the Arlington West memorial. “I didn’t feel that the American people were mindful of the terrible price we were paying – and were about to pay – for the invasion and occupation of Iraq,” says Sherrill. “The statistics in the newspapers were just tiny little numbers, too easy to breeze over.” Since the first installation of about 340 crosses in November of 2003, the number of American soldiers killed in Iraq has grown beyond 4,500. Formerly held every Sunday morning, and now erected on a twice-a-month basis (first and third Sunday of each month), members of Veterans for Peace and volunteers from the community place crosses in the sand by Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara, CA, in remembrance of those whose lives have been sacrificed in Iraq. Hundreds of observers from across the nation and around the world visit Arlington West every week. To date, there have been approximately twenty duplications of the original Arlington West all across America, including their weekly “sister memorial” in Santa Monica, CA.
In the intervening years since the memorial started, Veterans for Peace members and volunteers have effectively transformed what began as an angry anti-war protest into a genuine memorial — somber, chilling, and irresistibly moving. The memorial has been deliberately de-politicized in an effort to make Arlington West a non-threatening experience for everyone, regardless of their political affiliation. Gone are the placards denouncing George W. Bush that were there in the beginning. In their place are flowers, flags, and the names of the dead attached to the crosses and posted on makeshift bulletin boards. The crosses are planted in straight, tight rows, covering over an acre of beach that every Sunday make a stunning visual statement. In the background, the sound of “Taps” can be heard playing nonstop from a nearby recorder. At sunset, the music ends and the crosses are taken down, packed up, and stored away until the coming week.
Adjacent to one of the most heavily traveled intersections in Santa Barbara, Stearns Wharf has always been a favorite place for tourists to stroll. But now, it has also become a place where friends and relatives of the deceased can pay their last respects. “Until you’ve held a weeping mother in your arms who has lost her child – or worse, her only child – in Iraq, it’s difficult to grasp the enormity of the pain and the sorrow and the grief that has resulted from this war that WE started,” says Sherrill. Everyone involved with Arlington West has a similar story to tell. Nearly a thousand of the crosses have been visited by friends, comrades, or loved ones. “We never realized it would get so gigantic,” says Pat Chamberlin-Calamar. “Every time I place flowers by a cross, I say a little prayer.”

School Teacher
(71 posts)Yes. This program brought up a lot of memories and feelings. Since my brother in law died in Vietnam, we knew immediately that this
war was built on false information and was hyped up. We had already seen this movie and the Iraq War was the sequel. It was truly sickening how our "leaders" and our press jumped on it. The night of shock and awe we cried in our bed and prayed. I will never forget the bombs falling on Baghdad and that sickening feeling that all hell had been let loose.
Rachel Maddow has done a great service to this country to remind everyone of what can happen when a few crazies hijack our elections and our govt. while others let it happen. It was very affirming of my values that this program was aired by a mainstream cable channel.
She really let Bill Keller, NY Times Editor, off the hook, though. His reporters Judith Miller and Michael Gordon lied in The Times and pumped up the case for war. Judith Miller has since been discredited as a reporter, but Michael Gordon keeps his job. He is still lying for The Times. Bill Keller knows Judith well, since the Kellers would summer with her. As a result, we complained bitterly when Judith was invited to speak at our daughter's school for graduation. And we will never, ever subscribe to the Times again.
The really important thing here is that this lied into war was the most morally sickening thing I can remember witnessing personally.
Some of our friends immigrated to Canada after the war started and I yearned to leave with them, but my family did not want to leave.
The deaths of so many innocent Iraqis and so many of our own is a tragedy. It is a tragedy too that many young people have been lured into the military and it has even become sort of admired. I pity them too.
In this household we did our time, a decade in the anti war movement and still at it. It has been a lot of hard work. It was the only moral choice we could make. Otherwise how could I face myself? I pray that people wake up before we are drawn into a war with Iran.
Believe me, there are forces in this country that are trying hard to make it happen. I hope everyone reading this will become active again to resist future wars. Many say, why be active, it didn't work before, but just do it for yourself, for your integrity and self respect. Join us!

That is what brought us to this place. That is the drum beat of war and arrogance. There is no morality to be found there, only the bedrock of greed, hatred, ignorance and needless death.
We have to use the minds nature gave us. We have to pick ourselves up and move on to reality and love and peace and human compassion.

With so many details to present in only 1 hour some of it would have to be left out. However it seemed to leave out a bit more than I was comfortable with. The fact of Neo-Con connivance was far too understated. The link between Regan/Bush, Cheney/Rumsfeld, Feith/Wolfowitz, and events leading to the 2000 election, September 11 and beyond was completely left out.
It is one thing to show in their own words what was said and done to present the big lie. Yet another to show how significant individuals such as Zinni were not only aware of the truth at the time, but had been bypassed by the Cheney/Bush war machine. That Condi Rice, Dick Cheney, Doug Feith, and the others clearly knew that they were selling a completely fabricated case in argument to go to war is more than Hubris, it was murder with malice aforethought.
What the program made clear was that the lie was told with the knowledge that it was a complete lie by those people. What was not said was how much the Mainstream press, along with FOX news and Hate radio, convicted Iraq out of court and abetted the Bush Administration through direct action. NBC was not a pawn, nor was ABC News, CBS, or CNN. They were instead willing and eager sycophants to the great patriotic march to war, endlessly repeating the idea that it was the "American Thing to Do" to take down the bad guy. They shamelessly made it clear that no other choice was really tenable. They remain cheerleaders of the war to this day. None of them asked or pursued the obvious "Why" which could have diffused the avalanche.
But they were on board long before the war lie was told. They never questioned what happened during Campaign 2000. They participated with enthusiasm in white-washing the Bush Selection by the Supreme Court. Institutionally they failed to see anything wrong with the fence cages along the Inaugural Route...Or the people who put them there. It is hardly surprising that Big Media's Co-opting and cooperation in the war lie was so understated in this broadcast.

(53,410 posts)when I expressed my worries about it a co-worker basically told me I should go live in another country and she declared that she would gladly lose some of her rights to be safe. Those of us who knew what was really going on were told to shut up or we were told we were unpatriotic and terrorist sympathizers.
After the war in Iraq started and I talked to another co-worker about the children that were being killed and maimed and traumatized by the Shock and Awe bombing and the American invasion my co-worker said she didn't care and that 'they' were all the same to her. All were terrorists and they should all die.
When Bush was 're-elected' the first co-worker expressed her wish that someone would assassinate him. She claimed everyone was duped by him. I reminder her of our conversation the day after 9/11. She had the decency to admit that I wasn't fooled. I told her there are a lot of us who weren't. I didn't feel any satisfaction in being able to say, "I told you so". What I felt was a profound sadness that it had happened and that people like her championed it though willful ignorance, racial hatred and jingoism.

(8,200 posts)They petitioned President Clinton to invade Iraq. They published their plan to dominate the Middle
East and secure America's future into the next century. All of this was known but, conveniently ignored by the so-called journalists. Go to Wikipedia and read how they only needed a "Pearl Harbor" as a excuse to put their plan in action. Read how they dominated the Bush 43 administration. Its all there. And it was well known by a number of citizens, but never gained universal publication.
Nobody will ever do anything because the MSM will never fully inform the citizens how they cooperated in deceiving them. The only thing that can force our elected officials to act is intense public pressure and that will never happen in my lifetime. "Hubris" was a start, but it completely ignored the most important aspect of this disaster. The total failure of the Fourth Establishment and in fact became to Bush administration's ally in taking us to war.
