    • ]]>     Rachel Maddow has a great re-cap of the faulty and deceitful tactics used by the Bush administration that led to the US invasion and occupation of Iraq.  Using video evidence Maddow shows the shifting justifications for war — an aggressive war that was clearly criminal.  Yet Obama and the Democrats want us to look forward, not back.  This is all in the past, they say.  What we have here is an affirmation that our political elites are and will never be held responsible for their crimes.  Completely depressing if you ask me.

    • ]]>     So it’s been six years since the US Senate voted to authorize the president to invade Iraq.  It’s worth reviewing that time right now.  It was then that Congress – with many Democrats joining the Republican push – relinquished much of their power and played an essential role in establishing an imperial presidency.  As we well know any dissent was ignored or attacked as anti-American and unpatriotic.  Those were fearful times indeed.

    Bill Moyers recently covered what was happening at the time.  Watch his video essay on the subject:
