- Am working with cross party group of MPs to launch new attempt to interrogate Tony Blair over #Iraq
Caroline LucasThe Democrats did nothing.
Grasp that.
If you're a non-recovering Cult of St Barack-er, that won't bother you in the least.
Nothing does.
But if you're a thinking person, grasp that Barack road to fame on his supposed objection to the Iraq War (face to face with Elaine and C.I. while he was running for the US Senate, Barack declared that opposition to the war no longer mattered after the war started), you should grasp that Barack did nothing.
He didn't end the Iraq War -- it continues.
And he sure as hell didn't investigate it.
Or hold people accountable.
Those who supported the Iraq War were welcomed into his administration: Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Samantha Power, Michele Flournoy, Chris Hill . . .
And the lies were never investigated, let alone prosecuted.
His cult seemed to realize there was a problem -- a problem without a name?
They began whining about Benghazi.
They whined that there were X number of investigations into Benghazi and none into Iraq.
That whine was meant to attack and embarrass Republicans.
But why?
The greatest crime of this century remains the Iraq War.
How is it embarrassing Republicans (who overwhelmingly supported the war) that there was no investigation into the lies that led to the Iraq War?
It's not.
It's embarrassing to the Democratic Party.
In the 2006 mid-terms, they insisted that if voters gave them control of just one house of Congress, they'd use their powers as committee chairs to investigate and subpoena and bring the war to an end.
Americans responded by giving them control of both houses of Congress in that election.
And the Democrats did nothing.
They certainly didn't end the war.
Then-minority leader Nancy Pelosi had publicly taken impeachment off the table in the lead up to the 2006 elections.
Turns out, she also took accountability for the Iraq War off the table -- she just failed to tell the American people.
Bully Boy Bush is not in office.
Nor is Tony Blair.
In England, they're more than willing to demand answers from Blair.
In the US, Barack spent 8 years encouraging America to just . . . let . . . it . . . go.
