Just a note from someone who loves his country and despises what
Bushlickers and their forebears have done to it.
A documentary from Charles Ferguson, a former Brookings Institution
scholar with a doctorate in political science, as reviewed in the New
York Times:

"They, Ms. Bodine, and others - including Richard L. Armitage and
Lawrence Wilkerson of the State Department - describe from the inside
what has become, to the rest of us, a recognizable pattern. The
knowledge and expertise of military, diplomatic and technical
professionals was overridden by the ideological certainty of political
loyalists. Republican Party operatives, including recent college
graduates with little or no relevant experience, were put in charge of
delicate and complicated administrative areas. Those who did not
demonstrate lock-step fidelity to the White House line were ignored or
pushed aside."
Winston Churchill once said that a lie can travel around the world in
an instant, the truth takes awhile to catch up. But catch up it
eventually does.
