    Gotta say I’m livid about that article synopsis

    helped lead the country into the ill-fated Iraq war on faulty assumptions

    Really, that’s what we’re calling that now? Just a little ‘oopsie’ where nobody was culpable, not even the monsters leading the charge and fabricating the evidence?

      The Iraq War was a success for the US. It achieved its minimalist goals of destabilizing the region, which still pays dividends to this day. I don’t think Syria would have fallen if not for ISIS, which the US invasion of Iraq basically created.

      But, for AmeriKKKan politicians and journalists to admit that would be to reveal how evil they are.

      What’s a little powell-propaganda between new Pearl Harbors?

      The group, the Project for the New American Century, or PNAC, was founded in 1997. Among its supporters were three Republican former officials who were sitting out the Democratic presidency of Bill Clinton: Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz.

      In open letters to Clinton and GOP congressional leaders the next year, the group called for “the removal of Saddam Hussein’s regime from power” and a shift toward a more assertive U.S. policy in the Middle East, including the use of force if necessary to unseat Saddam.

      And in a report just before the 2000 election that would bring Bush to power, the group predicted that the shift would come about slowly, unless there were “some catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor.”

      That event came on Sept. 11, 2001. By that time, Cheney was vice president, Rumsfeld was secretary of defense, and Wolfowitz his deputy at the Pentagon.

      Every time someone evil dies and they live a long life. One of you nerds have to post this. Should be copypasta at this point. We know. They’re also dead and we’re happy they’re dead and we want celebrate them turning into a gender neutral bathroom.

        It’s more emblematic of how little there is to celebrate. Yup, bad man dead better than bad man alive. But it just feels kinda pathetic to cling to this

    the-democrat “That’s sick! He may have been evil incarnate, but he was still a family man; a man of conviction; a man you could work with. You all should be ashamed of celebrating his death!”

    Lastly, I don’t usually think too much about coincidences, but on Sunday I had a clear, out-of-the-blue, thought of “Huh, Dick Cheney is still alive right? That fuckin’ sucks…” and I’m extra happy that I never have to have that thought again bloomer

    Ugh, it sucks that there are probably about to be a whole bunch of articles coming out mourning him and claiming that it’s not ok to celebrate his way too late death.

    Other than that, crab-party

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
