Straight from the "Who does he think he's fooling?" file:
Looks like John Kerry may not have to defend his inadvertently-amplified remarks about the dishonesty of Republicans. TV news was all over the lyin' administration today, mostly because of stammerin' Don Rumsfeld's bald-faced lie that Republican officials never claimed that Iraq was an imminent threat. Visit Phil's blog for a link to a site that gives a rundown of recent Republican lies relating to this issue.
Despite the primary motives for war being based on shoddy intelligence and distorted facts, hawkish apologists still claim that the Iraq war was necessary on humanitarian grounds. Put simply, Saddam was a bad man who needed to be stopped. Yeah, well... that may be true, but did it need to take the mobilization of 150,000 American soldiers and the destruction of thousands of Iraqi and American lives? "Human Rights Watch" has published a devastatingly well-argued piece which asserts that there's no way that this war can be justified, even on humanitarian grounds. I'd like to offer a brief summary here, but I fear I would just muddy the clarity of its argument.
