"Where the hell were you in the Vietnam War?"

By Michael J.W. Stickings

So asked decorated Vietnam veteran and former senator Max Cleland of draft-dodging warmonger Dick Cheney -- Crooks and Liars has the video and transcript here.

The full quote: "Where the hell were you in the Vietnam War? If you had gone to Vietnam like the rest of us, maybe you would have learned something about war. You can't keep troops on the ground forever. You gotta have a mission. You gotta have a purpose. You can't keep sending 'em back and back and back with no mission and no purpose. As a matter of fact, the real enemy is Al Qaeda, it's Al Qaeda stupid, it's not in Iraq."

The stupid -- Bush and Cheney both -- didn't go to war. The stupid sent others to fight their disastrous war in Iraq, to die for their lies and delusions. The stupid want still more war in Iraq. The stupid want war with Iran. The stupid have blood all over their hands.

The stupid don't have a fucking clue.
