See those fellas pictured above?  They are un-indicted war criminals.  The world is in terror, far worse than it has been in decades, largely because of these men…and their puppet George Bush.  And while these monsters walk free, all across this country, Americans are living in prisons that they created.

The American economy is in the garbage (worse than that). Americans are in more debt than ever before.  And these are the men responsible for this.

The US Government, at all levels has become monstrously punitive against individuals, while institutions and the elite like those above walk free…but it didn’t have to be that way…the US government could have instead focused on peace and stability in the world…in much the same way that we could have focused on keeping families in their homes and helping working families solve their debt problems.

Armchair war heroes Bill Kristol and Paul Wolfowitz are back, all over the television, calling for the deployment of troops to Iraq. Bookers at “Meet the Press,” “Morning Joe” and “This Week” are being called out for treating these liars and frauds, who led the charge for the disastrous Iraq War, as experts whose opinions on the latest violence in Iraq is somehow in high demand.

Salon was curious about the most prominent of these placements, when Paul Wolfowitz, the former deputy secretary of defense, was asked onto last Sunday’s “Meet the Press.” We asked several NBC News P.R. representatives and producers for comment and received none. Perhaps we’re just silly and the rationale behind the bookings is obvious. They’re just trying to get one side of the story!

But do these guys really represent a legitimate “side” in the current Iraq debate, or just themselves and a few other discredited friends within the Beltway?
