The Democratic "leadership" in the Senate has once again sold out your future -- and the future of your children and grandchildren -- in favor of continuing the unprovoked slaughter of people who have never done anything to any of us. And, as you can see in the photo, some of them seem quite happy about it.They are obviously content to give a lying mass-murderer another $95 billion of money we haven't even got, so he can continue the outrageous but still ongoing war crime in Iraq -- against the clearly expressed wishes of the majority of American voters, not to mention the remainder of humanity.
Chris Floyd has the details and some insightful commentary at his always-excellent site, Empire Burlesque. I urge you to click and read, but if you want the short version, this is close enough:
We will pay for this decision -- in dollars and in blood -- for generations to come (if we are lucky enough to survive that long). But our "elected" "representatives" don't seem to mind. After all, it's not their money. And it's not their blood.
As if we didn't already have enough reason to sharpen the guillotines.
