TDS/TCR (War Criminal Wednesday)

Were we briefly not at war… and I missed it?

Hey, those plaques are not cheap!

They charge you by the letter for engraving.

Kirsten Gillibrand

This week’s guests-

The Daily Show

• Wednesday 9/10: Ban Ki-moon
• Thursday 9/11: Tavis Smiley

The Colbert Report

• Wednesday 9/10: Henry Kissinger
• Thursday 9/11: Lonn Taylor

Quite a contrast tonight, beloved peace-maker and Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon against unindicted war criminal and killer of hundreds of thousands Henry Kissinger.

With Henry it’s hard to know where to start, but how about when he and his traitorous boss Nixon sabotaged an official US government peace treaty between the US, South, and North Vietnam for electoral advantage only to settle for practically the same terms 5 years later leaving behind a failed and corrupt puppet regime that soon collapsed.  Sound familiar?  Pretty much the Iraq/Afghanistan playbook if you ask me.

And I admit that makes me a little depressed because here we are 40+ years later on the brink of another war that is fated from the start for failure and embarrassment and our D.C. Dodos haven’t learned a damn thing.

Arthur Wellesley famously said of his victory at Waterloo, “They came on in the same old way and we sent them back in the same old way.”

When will we get tired of playing Napoleon?  Like Lee, he’s a General that lost.
