And so it always goes
“A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” – Mark Twain And if enough people die, the truth becomes irrelevant.
As Alan Simpson is allowed to tell Vets and Seniors to just die already — and nothing happens (somewhere Shirley Sherrod is shaking her head silently) another recent nightmare of non-accountability raises its head.
Bush-Era Iraq War Architects Emerge To Demand ‘Credit’ For Iraq War ‘Success’
And so it always goes. Jean Juares lies all but forgotten in his grave, shot for trying to prevent World War I, Henri Philippe Petain leads men by the millions to the slaughter, becomes a hero and lives on to eventually betray his country.
And so it always goes…
The men of the Iraq War send others off to disaster, tens of thousands of lives and trillions in dollars later they draw their think-tank paychecks and demand you thank them.
As a new documentary makes clear, the men who made Pat Tillman a propaganda tool, sit unpunished and feted despite their lies. Tillman lies dead, like Jean Juares. It is for “only” certain of the living to take advantage.

Brewer herself acknowledged Thursday during an interview on a talk show on Phoenix radio station KTAR-FM that she could have done better.
“It certainly was the longest 16 seconds of my life,” Brewer said of the pause. “I’m human, I’m human.”
She said the post-debate questioning by reporters was unfair, but added that leaving as she did might have been “the wrong thing to do. ”
“But that’s how I felt at the moment,” she added.
Isn’t the entire right-wing all about how they feel in the moment?
