Looks good WilliamPitt. I get sick to my stomach when I see the war criminals going from corporate media to corporate media criticizing this president and feeling totally comfortable saying they would do the same thing today that they did then when they pushed for the occupation of Iraq. And those poor people in Iraq, so many lives ruined for at least a generation.

Peace

On Wed Jul 30, 2014, 10:30 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Coming soon...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025311301

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is nothing but a self-promotional ad. If the user wants to advertise on DU, there is a mechanism for that. Clearly inappropriate.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Jul 30, 2014, 10:38 AM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: We are here to discuss issues of significant national importance germane to Progressiveness. Prior to this time we were pushed into war; because we were duped into not discussing the issues germane. As this is a post of a book that doesn't (appear) to violate policy - I'd let it be.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh good grief. Will Pitt is an excellent journalist and one of our very best writers. Let it stand. And stop with the frivolous alerts.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I refer alerter to the ATA forum. There are no rules against promoting one's self/products here. Now spamming it all over the forum would be an offense. But this from a prominent DUer? Sorry, try again.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation:
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's an important subject and worthwhile for DU. I think a member with almost 60,000 posts can link his work.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm gonna hide a post by someone with 57 thousand posts? Don't think so! Also, would violate my policy to leave all posts alone. The alerter can just as easily post their reply expressing their criticism.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Basically it's a review of all the pertinent data from 2002-2014, including PNAC, the Bush administration, Ahmad Chalabi, and the aftermath. My part is editorial and information, while the utterly peerless Dahr Jamail shares his reporting from his year spent on the ground in Iraq.

Lots of DUers predicted this would be the endgame....including you....and, amazingly, it has come to fruition. Bush/Cheney should be explaining their war crimes to the world.

- The economy? Freedom ain't cheap, ya know? This is how the American omelet is made. This is what empires DO.

And think of all the money we'll need to spend on the next war to ''Bring Democracy to the Iraqi People - Part, III.5......''

I first heard Dahr Jamail in 2004 and was thankful for his voice in the dialogue of the war back then.

Great team, I'll be getting a copy, maybe more so I can pass it around.

Thank you for doing this!
