FOOL ME TWICE

Ok, lie to me again. It's what politicians do.

When the US invaded Afghanistan, our leader(s) assured us that they knew exactly where Osama Bin Laden was, but couldn't tell us without "compromising sources". So many of us believed, Afghanistan was invaded, and Bin Laden is as dead as Elvis. And we have another country to run.
That's once.

Then we invade Iraq. Even though Colin Powell's evidence didn't convince many countries, Americans believed. He had evidence of Weapons of Mass Destruction; he just couldn't tell us more without compromising "sources". And we have yet another country to run.
That's twice.

And now Elvis, Bin Laden, and Saddam Hussein are alive.

We apparently never had much evidence against the Taliban, or much evidence that they ran the whole country of Afghanistan anyway. And we never knew where Bin Laden was. Or is.

We also apparently never had much evidence of Saddam having weapons of mass destruction. We could still find something, but obviously there was nothing ready to use.

So what excuse will we use to invade Syria? Or Iran? Or? Whatever it is, I won't believe it.

Some of the D's will oppose this shit, as that's what opposition parties do. But why couldn't the R's see through the lies, when the French could?

Leaving me with the following: I will never vote for an R or a D again. I will support the military, which is composed of many good men and women who do their job. Including the fact that I will support invasion after our leaders have left them in tents in sandstorms long enough.

But I will not believe the lies. Nor will I believe that our freedoms were removed by Osama Bin Laden when our President took them away.
