Poor John McCain may have "sacrificed" his alleged career.

I want to rebut some nonsense that is floating around about Tony Blair. NEWSWEEK spent too much dead tree space on Blair being a "true believer" about Iraq. As if being a "true believer" in some way mitigates the colossal arrogance, stupidity, pointless destruction, death, maiming, and waste of resources in an unnecessary, illegal, immoral war. Goebbels was a "true believer". That didn't make it right. What has happened in Iraq is exactly what liberals, some moderates, and many true conservatives said would happen all along. It is time we took liberals seriously BEFORE THE DISASTER.
And John McCain saying Blair has "sacrificed his career" - and McCain might be sacrificing his too - by supporting the war is just plain offensive. It's also bullshit. Blair has to leave office early. so saaaad for Tone.....boo hoo. McCain will sacrifice his AMBITION to be President. Not his career.
Tell the boys who lost limbs how sad it is that you and joe lie ber man are so put upon.
The Iraq war is and was unneeded and disastrous. It is and was about securing oil fields and enriching a very small group of already very rich people. It has achieved the latter. The Cheney/Rummy brigade was too lazy, stupid, and arrogant to accomplish the former...for now.
