This country went to war twice because the media was so afraid of appearing liberal that they were too scared to report the truth. I really thought we had learned our lesson with Bush. Calling a liar a liar, even if that liar is a Republican, doesn’t mean you have a liberal bias. It means you are reporting the facts.

Went to war twice? Come on. The US has gone to war, or intervened militarily in another country’s governance with extreme prejudice, more than 50 times since World War II. Korea, Guatemala, Iran, Indonesia, Haiti, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, The Congo, Brazil, Peru, The Dominican Republic, Cuba, East Timor, Ghana, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, Grenada, Nicaragua, El Salvador. And much more. A country can’t “learn its lesson” when the people don’t even know their own military history and believe that something which has been happening for over a century is a new development.
