ahah remember when cheney set up an office at the CIA to produce intel in line with an invasion of iraq and then outing an agent who said it was bullshit and how we invaded anyway killing hundreds of thousands of people? aww man that was great.

oh but then the next republican administration comes out and says we can't trust intel because they were wrong about Iraq? I'm rolling.

Also the "refloat" argument is sound as well. Even if van Riper wasn't cheating, you've got this giant simulation with millions of dollars and man hours spent setting it up. You should replay it a number of ways to see how it works.

In 1971, when Lt. William Calley Jr., who had led his platoon in the massacre of hundreds of unarmed civilians, including women, children and the elderly in the Vietnamese village of My Lai, was found guilty of premeditated murder and sentenced to life in prison, public outrage erupted across the country. Thousands of telegrams advocating clemency were sent to the White House, mass protests were held nationwide, a popular folk song was written and Georgia’s governor, Jimmy Carter, instituted American Fighting Man’s Day in solidarity with the convicted war criminal.

can you explain this to a non american

Elian Gonzalez. came over on a boat from Cuba to Florida with his mom. mom drowned on the crossing. there was a court case for custody of Elián between the father who remained in Cuba and other relatives in Florida. court ruled he had to be returned to his father. it got nasty because of politics and he was taken at gunpoint in this picture.

all of this took place in the run up to the 2000 election in Florida which was the state that ended up giving the world George W. Bush.

Funny thing is how close he is to being right about things. He's at least not wrong about the financial interest of donors.

What he didn't tell them what that he didn't need to pay a candidate to work in the interests of the rich, because he'd just do it himself for free.
