The real stakes

This is what it's really about, people. The war profiteers, thugs and outright criminals who populate the Bush administration would have you believe otherwise. As with everything else that comes out of their mouths, they are lying.

By their incompetence they have let the man actually responsible for the events of That Day go free. By their incompetence they waged war against a country who had utterly nothing to do with the attacks of 2001 and by so doing have plunged the country of Iraq into the grips of civil war. Even now, they are seeking to provoke another war by holding war games off the cost of Iran. In any rational society their crimes would have landed them in jail long since. Instead, by their manipulation of public discourse and joyful embrace of the tactics of fear mongering they have managed to escape justice until now. Vote November 7th and show them their crimes will not stand.

Rumsfeld tells war critics to 'back off'

Hey, Rummy, I've got just two words for ya - F**k you.
