War hunger destroys people’s integrity with a savage bellicosity of its own.
The war hasn’t even started yet, and it’s already expanding, even as we’re told it will be “limited.” David E. Sanger and Eric Schmitt describe in The New York Times.
Did Kerry just lie to Chris Hayes about the votes he and Hagel cast re: Iraq in 2002? Yes he did.
Jane Hamsher at firedoglake.com notes that Democratic Reps in swing districts could very well lose their seats if they vote for the war disaster, since the Repubs will of course pin it entirely and successfully on the Dems. And the Dem Reps can hardly rely on the President to take their back in 2014. Any illusions on that score would have vanished in 2010.
