Richard Clarke on The Daily Show last night

Plugging the paperback copy of his book. (Good book - read the hardback - new soft cover has more stuff about the 9/11 report - which supports EVERYTHING he said first in the book). Got in some very salient points about this administration, etc. The most important thing he said during the "interview" is that Bush & Co. have plans to invade Iran next. This has been mentioned before but why aren't the citizens raising bloody hell and make BushCo answer a few questions? How many wars do they have planned? Really.

I have five lovely granddaughters and I certainly don't want to see any of them fighting an oil war for this bunch of morons. They are all still in high school and younger but I was in the fifth grade when Viet Nam started and by the time that war was over there were over 56,0000 dead, many, many more injured. In that timeframe I had graduated elementary, middle School, high school, married, (husband drafted but never left stateside), two children, lost classmates and spent more hours than I even want to recall watching body bag after body come come back to the states. I clearly remember staying up all night, crying like a fool as I wanted the POWs deplane and touch American soil again. But for what? What did these millions of soldiers and their families suffer for? This time around if "they" think they are going to get the grandkids they are wrong - very wrong. If I have to hog tie them and drag their sweet little behinds to Canada they are going.

NO MORE dying for ill-advised, senseless wars - not by my kids - not by anyone's children. Enough.
