Truth catching up to Bush (Excellent read)
Regardless of who emerges as the Democratic presidential nominee, the race has already served its greater democratic purpose: It has blown away George W. Bush's wartime aura of patriotic infallibility.

Not only Howard Dean, the passionate truth-teller about Iraq, but Senator John Kerry, Gen. Wesley Clark and others have found their voices to question almost all aspects of Bush's post-Sept. 11 performance.

They are bringing home to Americans the worldwide debates about their president's penchant for exploiting and fanning fears by exaggerating dangers, taking unilateral actions abroad, and squandering U.S. credibility.

"The U.S. is facing a crisis of international legitimacy," writes Robert Kagan, the respected analyst at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, in the upcoming spring issue of Foreign Affairs magazine.

1. Robert Kagen is a fine person to talk...
he is part of the reason the US is facing this "crisis of international legitimacy". His writings for "The Weekly Standard" and other neo-con organizations helped people justify this run up to the war with Iraq.

8. Of course
when those who helped put this system into place are starting to criticize, what does that tell you?

2. US legitimate in the world/? How about here at home? If we really did
need to go to war with some other country - who would believe it.

Talk about deserters from the army-I think everybody would go to Canada.

3. People in every country on earth don't have to agree with Bush!
They just have to bend over or get blown to hell, to make way for the "New World(dis)Order"/Bushco!

6. Great post trumad and again thank you!
I must point out the soldiers that have lost their eyes, arms, legs, and their health for these lies.

"The difference in this case, of course, is that more than 500 Americans and nearly 15,000 Iraqi soldiers and civilians are dead."
