More On Douthat The Revisionist

A guy named Jay Stevens (poor bastard seems to live far from a coast) notes what complete pieces of self-deluding shit Yankee pig-dogs are:

Of course, in a way - and not the way Douthat intends - the move is a little over simplistic. For starters, in "The Green Zone," there's much surprise when no WMDs are found and there's shock when it's revealed that the administration had a hand in manufacturing WMD intelligence. Of course, by the invasion, it was pretty clear that there were no WMDs in Iraq, and that the intelligence from the Pentagon was suspect, to say the least.

That is, the movie is an over-simplistic flick that augurs how the American public will remember the war, how most are already processing it. Basically, people are remembering that they were hoodwinked, when, in fact, most people had the evidence, heard the dissenting voices, and still supported the war. The public and the media galloped headlong towards Iraq under Bush's banner willingly, despite the plethora of reasonable and well-informed voices that showed there was nothing there...

Per the bold above (It's ours.) we can only add that this sort of thing is why we want most Americans to bleed slowly to death from a painful wound. (Although we've heard that bleeding out is not actually that painful.) Maybe we can kick you fucks a few times while you're dying.
