2400 die for oil, power and money and Gonzales lies to a 12 year-old

A 12-year-old at the other end of the table had a question. "What do you think about the [Iraq] war?" he asked.

Gonzales put down his hamburger. "One thing you have to remember is that sometimes people have to die so we can all live in freedom. That's always been the case."

we can all rest assured, alberto gonzales is not a stupid man and i hope, for his sake, that he truly believes it when such crap issues from his mouth... the iraq war has nothing to do with freedom, not one goddam thing... if the intent was really to establish democracy and to free people from saddam's repression and killing, we would have gone about it entirely differently... but those were never what it was about, wmd notwithstanding, then or now... it's about a terrorist state, the u.s., attempting to rule the world by fiat, consequences be damned... some day, mr. gonzales, you will see the truth... some day, you may even SPEAK the truth... i only hope it will come in your present lifetime and, god willing, mine...

(thanks to raw story...)
