They're Lying Through Their Teeth

Occassionally, one hears a pro-war voice saying something like, "Well, no one ever said Iraq would be quick or easy!"

It's a lie, folks. It was supposed to be very quick and very easy, and pay for itself as the US robbed Iraqis of their oil:

"And then, with the resources from Iraq, the oil, for example, will cause it to be able to transition very quickly and actually cause a big change, I think, in the Middle East."

-- Gen. David Grange on CNN in 2003, quoted by Glenn Greenwald

    Dick "Shotgun" Cheney said on TV that
    the war in Iraq would only take 3 months!
    I heard him. Didn't believe it of course.
    But here we are. Over 4000 fine Americans
    dead. Over 4000 families devastated.
    Let's not forget the tens of thousands
    of wounded, and their families. Let's not forget the billions spent. Let's not forget the hundreds of thousand of dead and wounded Iraqis. And their families.
    Let's not forget. In November.

  2. Good post Gene. Reminds me of, "Nobody ever said Saddam actually had WMD, they just said he had the capacity to develop them. You gotta watch out for those lying liberals."
