Democrats Embracing the Warmongers

This wasn't on my Bingo card either . . .

The NYT did a mea culpa for its Iraq war lies:

But we have found a number of instances of coverage that was not as rigorous as it should have been. In some cases, information that was controversial then, and seems questionable now, was insufficiently qualified or allowed to stand unchallenged. Looking back, we wish we had been more aggressive in re-examining the claims as new evidence emerged -- or failed to emerge.

But now the NYT is back to lying with vigor:

Kamala Harris and Nuclear War

I disagree with RFK, Jr. about the need to elect Donald Trump.

Well, because George fucking Bush was pissed that Saddam Hussein allegedly wanted to kill his dad. So we invaded.

And then I start to think, was this guy funny? What if I met him in Paris over a coffee? Would we actually have liked each other? I just killed him because a politician sent us here for weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist.

War is Murder. Time to kill the euphemism
