If anything, they thought they killed off a Cincinnatus

John Rosenthal looks back on Donald Rumsfeld’s past 6 years as Defense Secretary. More to the point he looks back at him as the surrogate receiving the years of fabricated outrage directed at the United States.

"We have, above all, to prevent terrorist from getting access to weapons of mass destruction. We have to concentrate on those states that are trying to acquire such weapons and that could provide them to terrorist organizations." These two sentences contain the simple, straightforward justification for the Iraq War that has been thoroughly obscured by years of "Bush Lied!", conspiracy-mongering hysteria in the dominant European and American media.

”Old Europe” was touchy even before he uttered those two words JUST ONCE.

It really was quite revealing. A minority in Europe, the French and German official act was passive-aggressive obstruction. Twenty-two nations with more to lose by opposing the Franco-German inability to understand history though quite differently.

As for their fans on the left, there’s nearly no point in trying to understand what drives them. The range and variety of names returned by this search tells one quite a bit about their hyperventilating nature. Who just is that “Architect” then? Why do they imagine it’s one person today, another tomorrow, and a whole cabal last week? Very simply because they HAVE to go to great lengths to use rage because no rational person will buy their line. It started with kicking the victims of 9-11 to imagining the Bush Administration CAUSED the 9-11 attacks, and went further to try to use said invention to say that he planned to invade Iraq from his first day of graduate school.

Their victim is none other than objective truth.

They are the people that Orwell warned you about.
