politics again

I am seeing where the Republicans are all up in arms about Bengazi.  Yet none of them ever uttered a word about the thousands killed and maimed for oil.  None of these idiots ever uttered a word about the mess Bush left us in nor about the thousands of Iraqi citizens that were killed, nor the families of the troops who came back broken and face a lifetime of hardship because of this.  And for what?  For oil.  Yes, Bengazi was bad, but wasn't the lives of our troops worth a little outrage?  Wasn't the maimed and damaged troops worth a little outrage?  Hell yes.  So where were the Republicans then?  Why was there no outrage and why was there no special committee to investigate the lies that got us into Iraq in the first place?  Where is the outrage at the taxpayer money thrown away?  Where is the outrage at the veterans not getting the health care they deserve?  Well, maybe if the created enough of a diversion, we will just forget about the Republicans putting us in this mess in the first place.  Maybe we will just forget that they took a huge surplus and a balanced budget and put us trillions in debt. Maybe we will just forget that they gave Bush carte blanc to do whatever he wanted and spend whatever he wanted.  Ergo, his administration spent like drunken sailors on leave.  So now we are just supposed to forget about that and pretend it never happened.  Well, it did.  So did the destruction of the economy on their watch.  This Independent will not be forgetting.  Cheney and Bush should have been tried for treason.  Rumsfeldt should have been dropped in the middle of Bagdad and told to have fun.  Bet he would not have been so gung ho on the invasion then.
