This may be a repeat but

[Carolina]

it was the the first time I saw Bill Moyers interview Phil Donohue about his film Body of War.

How sad that the lamestream media fills so much air time hyping movies like Sex and the City and Indiana Jones but ignores this film.

And how it boils my blood again to see those who voted for IWR and hence this travesty of an invasion and occupation. No one who voted 'aye' should EVER be president and that means you, Hillary.

1. I'm proud of Mikulski and Sarbanes, my Maryland senators at the time.

2. Graham Played It Smartest

I always thought Florida's Bob Graham played it smartest. Here he was, chairman/ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Now this man is no dove. He said quite simply that going into Iraq would cause us to lose focus in Afghanistan and on bin Laden. He was exactly right.

If you look back at 2003, before the Democratic Presidential field narrowed Bob Graham fit almost everything (issue wise) Democrats were looking for in a candidate. Poor man was cursed by lacking the one thing in politics that is critical above all else - personality. And quite frankly, that journal he kept was just a little creepy. Although, at least with him there'd never be an "I can't recall" moment.
