A Saleh v. Bush Lawsuit Update

3. This is from the article as well

"The neoconservative movement that fueled the fire will also be described as well as what financial damages are being sought for the Plaintiff, Mrs. Saleh. Clearly, the judge is being extremely careful in writing a decision, and it could take another six to nine months to see if the trial moves forward."

I hope to god it Does proceed. Since I wasn't sure what a neoconservative is I looked it up. This is what I found. The “neocons” believe American greatness is measured by our willingness to be a great power—through vast and virtually unlimited global military involvement. But this has always been the neocon ruse—if neoconservatives can convince others that fighting some war, somewhere is for America’s actual defense, they will always make this argument and stretch any logic necessary to do so. Whether or not it is true is less important than its effectiveness. But their arguments are only a means to an end. Neoconservatives rarely show any reflection—much less regret—for foreign policy mistakes because for them there are no foreign policy mistakes. America’s wars are valid by their own volition. America’s “mission” is its missions.


Plus there's a hellofalotta money in the military complex & defense contractors. I am heartened that the judge did not dismiss it automatically. I'm going to keep following it.
