Funny How That Works
By: Attaturk Monday November 30, 2009 1:30 am


Three stories over the last week that tell you just how Republicans are determined to just drag everything down the tubes…

1. Evidence mounts, via an investigation in the United Kingdom that the United States was determined to invade Iraq not long after 9/11/2001. Even being told there were no weapons of mass destruction and the war was illegal. Of course, the Bush Administration lied about their intent throughout.

2. While all that Iraq War planning was going on (remember Bob Graham’s recollections) the Bush Administration made the determination to divert resources from Afghanistan to Iraq in early 2002, including foregoing a push to capture bin Laden at Tora Bora.

And, of course, we know it has all gone so swimmingly.

3. In the present day, Richard Lugar, one of the handful of “purportedly non-crazy” Republicans says that the Senate’s health care debate — set to begin tomorrow — ought to be delayed until next year so the Senate can focus on the war in Afghanistan and the U.S. economy.

It’s almost as if their crazy plan perpetually comes together to keep everything else falling apart…and besides Obama bowed to an old Japanese dude and that’s what is really important.

3. Maybe we should invade Iraq AGAIN?

..... or .... Mexico?

Well, you have to give them credit for trying I guess. It's amazing that they can come up with all of these diversionary tactics WHILE they are busily crafting their own health care bill ...... oh wait, nevermind about that last part.
