What’s the point? I think we need Seymour Hersh. I don’t have a problem with his style. I don’t think he’s being cynical either.

We demanded in 06 to end the war and we have a very popular candidate running who says he wants out and the congress give another 200mm for war. Are they insane? or are they just bribed? or do they know something we don’t know?

What an incredible disappointment these people are.. even Wexler buys into the “Iran threat” rubbish. This nation is in deep doo and it’s not just Cheney and Shrub.
