Creative Revisionism Continues

And here is a new blast from Colin Powell:

"Colin Powell says his erroneous address to the United Nations about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction provides a lesson to business leaders on the importance of staying skeptical and following their intuition.

“Yes, a blot, a failure will always be attached to me and my UN presentation,” the former U.S. secretary of state writes in a new book of leadership parables that draws frequently on his Iraq war experience. “I am mad mostly at myself for not having smelled the problem. My instincts failed me.” 

Well, here is what I have to say about this particular load of crap.  I remember watching Powell deliver this address on TV, and I remember knowing as he was saying it that it was nothing but a pack of lies.  And I'm no expert.  Anyone who listened to what Powell had to say and really paid attention to it must have seen through it instantly. 

Powell knew he was lying when he delivered that address, and he knows he is lying now.  His fault wasn't trusting the wrong people, it was collaborating in a criminal war of aggression.  He'll be really happy if we let him plea bargain his monstrous crime down to the misdemeanor of being stupid, but no one is buying it here at Green Eagle.

It's hard even for a 4 star general to admit he was being used, which is why the duped and oppressed conservative who is being used by the 1% and the Upper Echelon of the Oppressors will never admit he was wrong about Obama about Liberals about anything...

Better to continue with their self-delusion than to admit rich oppressive murdering fucks used and abused them.

Word for word, that was Cheney's speech...but he was busy trying out his waterboard.

Gene, I hate to disagree with you on this one, but I don't think Powell was being used, or that he was a dupe. This speech was so groundless that he must have known all along that it was a pack of lies. Powell, whose first emergence to national prominence came with his service in covering up American atrocities in Vietnam, is a willing liar, not a dupe, and he always has been.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
