Too right,Joe. And what the US MSP will never say is that it was an
illegal war, by all international laws. For good ol' Tony B, too (&
Howard, etc).
Afghanistan is barely legal by those standards, as the UN did pass
something.....
Meanwhile, yeah, this is a good red herring as the press still seems,
on the whole, unwilling to call the White House & the neo-con advisers
on their blatant lies....
Of course, for those with eyes to see, it's all long been known; the
larger question is how many have opened their eyes . . . (I mean, okay,
we poets seem to keep watch, but) . . .
