White House Condemns Newsweek but...

How nice that the WH can be so indignant about Newsweek inaccurately reporting that U.S. military investigators had confirmed that personnel at Guantanamo Bay had flushed the Koran down the toilet, yet, what about the Brit memo that proves that Bush & Blair concocted reasons to start the Iraqi War? (Read Krugman's take on the memo here) Here's the most laughable quotes by Scott McClellan: "The report has had serious consequences," he said. "People have lost their lives. The image of the United States abroad has been damaged." Serious consequences? REALLY? Consequences like destroying another country? Consequences like costing the US taxpayers billions upon billions of dollars for a war when our own people are unemployed, underemployed, facing foreclosures, bankrupt schools, and no health care? People have lost their lives? REALLY? Try 1600+ US soldiers, and 100,000 Iraqis A-hole. The image of the US has been damaged abroad? REALLY? So waging this illegal war in Iraq in the name of Empire hasn't made the US hated enough around the world? Applauding the use of torture hasn't damaged the image of the US around the world? Killing Muslims w/impunity hasn't damaged the US image around the world? GET a fucking grip on reality White House. You had already pissed away any sympathy, support and decent image that the US had after 9/11......... all for NOTHING but GREED & HUBRIS.
