A must watch for every American. Turn on the sound.
I'd like to here your views. Amazing speech.

Comments samples from the above youtube video clip :
Quote: This is very powerful testimony...should be required viewing for all Americans!
Quote: Very powerful. An intelligent woman, I commend thee.
Quote: Agreed orotnas... this is the kind of speech Americans should hear, it's clearly presented and not overly emotive in it's presentation yet it outlines some very shocking facts about the invasion of Iraq and it's cost to the Iraqi people...
Quote: Wow.
In just a few sentences she summarized the rationale behind US involvement in the Middle East (and Latin America).
Quote: Holy cow. Talk about eye opening.
--------------------
The American people, about 60 million of them anyway, chose to ignore the horrendous economy. They chose to ignore the military and civilian deaths, the human rights violations in Iraq & Cuba, the threat of diminished freedoms at home. They allowed themselves to believe the lies: that Iraq backed Al Qaeda, that Iraq was making nuclear weapons, that they were safer now than they had been under Clinton or would be under Kerry, that the tax cuts would help the middle and lower classes, that education and the environment were important issues. They ignored (or were denied) the world opinion, and do not seem to understand that the world now views them not just as dangerous, but utterly ridiculous too. As good as the Democratic machine is at spinning and lying, the Republicans are better...but to fool so many people is a task beyond even them. We are left with only one depressing, demoralizing conclusion:
Americans are dumb. |
