What's a little more manipulation from Big Oil among friends?

I'll diss the french on that one
What's absolutely amazing is that we didn't seem to learn much from our
war against Vietnam and its various "insurgencies." I'm hearing the same
sorts of really stupid talk from our Prez and company about our war
against Iraq as I remember from the late 1960s and early 1970s, and
there is still a large percentage of American people who actually
believe the Chimp-in-Chief and his henchmen. When will they ever learn?
I'm not sure you can directly analogize the Vietnam conflict with the
Iraqi War, but I get your point.
No, the conflicts are not the same, but the callousness, stupidity, and
b.s. coming from our national leaders is pretty much the same. I watched
Rumsfeld testifying last week, no, telling one lie after another last
week. It was an incredible performance.
Hell, all of the talk radio Fox news types are saying we are in WW3 and
claiming that this is just like the rise of the Nazis in the late '30s.
All you have to do is get past your hatred for the Bush administration
and "Big Oil" and things will become clear.
