They are talking about striking in the national media, a conversation started by an Alexander-Hamilton-moderate-conservative. This is it, it has hit the mainstream media and word is getting out to the people that aren't necessarily in the 50501, and like organizations, loop.

he did call out the lies about the Iraq war, he just placed the blame on Rumsfeld and Cheney

but he has called it a mistake many times

I think Brooks is a complicated figure but one to pay attention to, even if you don't like his conservative stance

Watch out for trolls. Knocking down anti Trmp allies with a purity test is an old trick that supports MAGA.

those people who only see black and white are just as bad as MAGA, no doubt about it

it is a good thing to give someone a way out, even Sun Tzu suggested it

it lets people compromise, and that is what made america great

Much, much, MUCH TOO LATE. Everyone with a functioning bullshit meter knew the whole time it was all evil bullshit ginned up by Gee Dubz to attack Iraq for reasons only he really knows because no one has ever been able to definitively state why.

Brooks was a feckless cheerleader and he absolutely made his shit bed. Fuck that guy. Oh he's upset the republicans have destroyed the country? Fuck that guy. What a piece of shit.

Because Saddam expressed a desire to have his daddy assassinated.

Yeah but he came up with that when his WMD bullshit was starting to stink from being dead for so long.
