Body of War

[Lazyboy]

Is anyone going to see Phil Donahue's movie "Body of War"?

 

He has footage in there about Senator Byrd's opposition to the war.

 

I don't know if he includes anything about Senator Murray's vote against the war resolution but she voted against it. She made a great speech on the senate floor explaining why she was voting against it and in the speech predicted many of the problems we ran into there.

 

It is too bad more people did not listen to her.

Lemme guess: You work on her staff or for her campaign? The "mom in tennis shoes" is, by all accounts, a mental lightweight. I'm no lover of Democrats, but at least Maria Cantwell actually works hard to represent her state in Washington D.C. I'm not sure exactly what the vacuous Ms. Murray does.

You mean aside from making an accurate call about our trillion dollar debacle?

Her "handlers" prepared whatever statement/teleprompter she read from.

So can this film actually be taken seriously? I mean, it was made by Phil Donahue and he is liberal isn't he? Doesn't that mean that he not only has no clue what is good for America, he outright hates America and wants the terrorists to win? Just like maybe Patty Murray and her staff?

 

KkK, is there anyone in congress or the senate who doesn't have their speeches and position papers prepared by staff?

Mo Rocca should have studied Cheney's past jokes, 'cos Cheney smoked him last night.

So the republicans are losing their war in Iraq because of all the negative vibes emanated by the people that foretold the obvious. That is pretty airy fairy for a staunch whatever you are.

He seems right on the money to me. There's a difference between 'predicting the obvious outcome' of a stupid fucking project and 'rooting for failure' of a worthy endeavor.

 

But, really, this is a one sided spat. I mean, who is arguing that Iraq was a good idea at this point?

Other than Darth Cheney? McCain seems to like the eternal war thing.

Really? Gonna go with the intellect argument here? You realize Stephen Hawking isn't the president right?
