If My [thingey] Were As Short As My Memory (I'd Never Get A 2nd Date)

For those of you with short memories...

There were some highly influential people who worked for months to convince us that

• Saddam Hussein had Weapons of Mass Destruction.
• If we invade Iraq our troops would be greeted as liberators (do you remember "roses and sweets....")
• Saddam Hussein worked with and supported terrorists
• Our original deployment of troops would be adequate
• Oil revenues would fund the reconstruction
• Our troops had adequate body armor
• It was NOT about oil, even thought the original name was the freudian-slippage Operation Iraqi Liberation (I'm not making that up)
  
• "5 weeks, certainly not 5 months..."
  
  and the tallest of tall tales
  
  
• Mission Accomplished
  

Granted, it all worked out OK, but....

Those same people have told us that if we don't hurry up and give away a trillion or so dollars to Wall Street's Rogue's Gallery - our nation's most crooked and corrupt - then the world as we know it just might end soon. Kind of like this:

The "hurry up and invade some country" set of, um, fibs - took months of hammering to convince enough people. This time it only took a few days. Same liars, same rubes.

I realize it's a bit late, but to quote our liar-in-chief:
"Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."
