And They All Got It "Wrong.."

Or they all knew it was bullshit, but did it anyway..
Rumsfeld: WMD issue was "the big one" in deciding to invade Iraq. Rummy must not have been paying attention. Curveball came out Last Week and told the World what we already knew: His claims of Weapons of Mass Destruction was a pack of lies, he knew it when he said it, and said it anyway. For profit, for power, whatever, Curvy. Are you enjoying the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocents on your conscience? Hint: You can NEVER scrub it off. Sweet dreams, bitch.

Egypt: If A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words, These Two Are Worth Much, Much More..

Two 'Revolutions': Egypt 2011 v. Iraq 2003 Thank you, Bradblog! (Be sure to read the comments..) Great comparison/contrast regarding a fake, corporate media/ foreign government-manipulated "revolutionary movement," and the real thing we just witnessed. Xymphora echoes this sentiment..

When was the last time we've seen a successful bottom-up revolution? Lots of fake ones bought by the Americans - easily distinguished from the real thing - but no real ones.
This is a serious precedent, not only for the Middle East. People around the world can see what is possible even in the face of what seems like overwhelming forces of evil.

Now that Mubarak has been removed, Egyptians face the equally impossible task of walking the political tightrope of establishing a new political order, sorting out useful and harmful alliances and policies, and fixing the economy. All the while, they must shield themselves from the manipulations of external forces and agents provocateurs, be they individuals, organizations, regime holdovers, or former allied governments. Good luck.

Whether you like it or not, your country has become The Standard by which others will look to for guidance and strategy in what will assuredly be repeated the world over, near and long term. Continue to choose wisely, please, and execute your plans with the political grace historians will document and celebrate, years upon years into the future..
