To Colin Powell:
Scott McClellan lifted an enormous burden off his shoulders by coming clean with the truth about the Bush administration.

It's time for you to do the same.

You know how you went to the UN with assurances from Tenet, Bush, et al and gave a presentation that was utter bullshit, thus making you culpable for the needless deaths of thousands of our troopers, and millions of innocent Iraqis.

It's time you told the world what you know.

Lay your burdens down. Speak the awful truth.

It's past time...
He should have done this long ago
He is the war hero who is not as brave as McClellan.

8. If they all came out in mass today and admitted that the * admin
had lied to/propagandized us into this war, I'd still be pi$$ed!

Because they'd be about 5 and a half years and 100,000 (Iraqi and American) lives too late!

9. "My lie will remain silent & buried as My Lai" the former Secretary of State declared
Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had My fill; My share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it My Lai.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it My Lai!

5. I hope I'm being too cynical, but...
...I think he's actually holding out for a 5th star.
