Greenwald's Latest - He is counter punching to great effect!

145. Even though I know you

are giving me a spanking, I thank you for the time you took to give me your views. I have to say I am conflicted. I have gone out and Googled (I know, not the best source) the things about Greenwald and the Iraq war. But the fact that you took the time with me, I took the time also. It is confusing because there are so many people who call him out on this and incidentally, his support of Citizen Untied, that I confess to confusion. I don't think he as respected as you say, but I know you have infinite faith in him, so that is OK. And I don't mean that in a bad way. Everyone has to choose. I am still reluctant to support him, but will do my best to read him more, because I have in the past and will do so again.

I never did, and you have to take me at my word, support the war. Any wars, including my protesting of the VietNam war at the Chicgo Convention. But I have to admit to almost being taken in by Bush's "evidence to go to war". It was compelling. Weapons of mass destruction, gas attacks, Saddam's attack on Kuwait and his dastardly firing of the oil wells. But I do not think Bush smart enough to come up with this convincing evidence. Absolutely being spoon fed all the things to say. And then Collin Powell, a republican I thought maybe I could trust. And that does not come along very often. The insulation of the politicians in Washington DC, from the real world, led me to believe that they supported the war on the information they were being fed and maybe knew more than the average bear.

Now, I do hold Democrats accountable for the Iraq war. I can justify their votes at the time, but the refusal to admit to being wrong is cowardly.

Oh, and I never supported Bush. He was and still is from a family of liar and crooks. All of them. Even the wives. And the Bush family history is well known.

So thanks for the words you have given me. Lots to think about. I hope you can understand where I am at.
