Outrage

On the subject of repealing "don't ask, don't tell," the 1994 law that helped to rid the U.S. Army of over 10,000 gay and lesbian soldiers, many of who had extraordinary technical skills and/or a fluency in Arabic, General Pace was unmoved.

"I do not believe the United States is well served by a policy that says it is OK to be immoral in any way," General Pace, the military advisor to President Bush, said.

This is the last straw in a war that was started on a false premise (no WMD's found in Iraq whatsoever),
-by an army that is granting waivers to military recruits with violent and criminal backgrounds,
-by a general hand-picked by an administration that fired federal prosecutors who weren't right-wing enough.

This is the last straw for an administration that lied about Iraq,
-and left poor, black people to the flood in New Orleans,
-and minimized global warming,
-and replaced science with Christian ideology,
-and used gay rights to draw the votes of bigots,
-and committed treason by leaking CIA undercover-operative, Valerie Plame's name,
-etc,
-etc,
-etc.

feel like adding to the list?
