Given the past threads related to the Iraq War and its justification, I thought this might be interesting:

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/...154541674.html

I somehow doubt the story will make Fox News or Rush/Sean, et. al., and. if it does, it will either be a brief mention or an attempt at the defamation of this vet's character, background, or associations...

Given that Bush never saw combat and was safely esconced in an Air Guard Unit characterized as a dodge for guys with wealth and/or infulence during the Vietnam War, and, given that both Cheney and Rumsfeld dodged out (Cheney famously stating he had better things to do and better places to be) during the same conflict and also never saw combat, I am somehow reminded of an old Packard Car advertising slogan: "Ask the Man Who Owns One". When it comes to an understanding of the true nature of war and its consequences, before I'd buy any of the lies Bush & Co. and their defenders are selling, I think I'll give a better listen to this man and the other soldiers who "owned" the Iraq War. Why do they "own" it: they sure as hell paid for it...

<O>

EDIT: I aplogize for the mistake I made on the topic title; I didn't catch it until after I hit "Save" and I can't change it...Again, very sorry...
