CLOONEY: "F-U to dems who voted for the war"

[Yollam]

I know this article has been mentioned already, but I did want to emphasize this part:

The fear of been criticized can be paralyzing. Just look at the way so many Democrats caved in the run up to the war. In 2003, a lot of us were saying, where is the link between Saddam and bin Laden? What does Iraq have to do with 9/11? We knew it was bullshit. Which is why it drives me crazy to hear all these Democrats saying, "We were misled." It makes me want to shout, "Fuck you, you weren't misled. You were afraid of being called unpatriotic."


And in addition to Mr. Clooney's words, I'd like to add that we have yet to hear Sens. Clinton, Kerry, or any other pro-war "democrats" stand up and take responsibility for their cowardice. They continue to cop out with excuses like "Bush tricked us!" or "The IWR stipulated that Bush come back to the Congress again before invading!", etc.


I personally don't believe that this party can ever fully recover or claim the high ground as long as its pro-war members don't own up to their complicity in the Iraq fraud and pledge to turn over a new leaf.





But I know it's never going to happen...
