Everyone should watch this...

ANY other politician, from any other 'free' society, would have resigned by now.

You saw Nixon do so for the Watergate scandal.

You saw Margaret Thatcher do so (and all she did was allow US bombers take off from the British Isles and bomb Libya).

Relatively speaking, Watergate and Libya pale in comparison to the corruption we've seen in the last few years. It's just shocking. We've ALL been completely taken for a ride.

EDIT: particularly our armed forces. Every single injury or death has been a complete and utter waste. Not only were they sent in on the basis of a lie, they were sent in on a suicide mission with no exit strategy. Basically, we fed them to the lions.

QFT.

Vietnam = Iraq ?

In 1969, Nixon and Kissinger made the decision that the war in Vietnam could not be won, or rather, the the USA would no longer even try to win it. They kept this to themselves. They did not stop the draft. Instead, they pursued the strategy of *appearing* to be confident of a successful outcome.

This 'inside decision' did not come to light until 1973, when the war in Vietnam came to an end.

Fuck.

Between 1969 and 1973, guess how many US troops died in Vietnam?

18,000.

"The “Death of the American Empire” is simply the best, concise, short history of America and of our horrific impact on the world stage and on what we have lost as a nation since Lincoln’s War. Nothing can compare to this article in terms on enlightenment, or sadness at the well hidden history and failure of the greatest experiment in self-government and liberty in world history."

oh the irony of these headlines I JUST saw on CNN

The fact is, like some of the earlier presidents, he wanted to join their ranks with a shiny nobel peace prize. It's really quite amazing because he thinks of himself as this 'messiah' like character where he knows what's right for the world, and everyone else hasn't a clue.

pretty much the mentality of old Commie Dictators ... and Bush has been successful in brainwashing a large majoriy of the population just like them

its really amazing that in this free county of ours ther has not been a large scale protest/demonstration to remove him from office.
