Dennis Says It Straight

If there is one thing I admire Dennis for, it is willingness to say certain things that are obvious yet no one else seems willing to say.

Each of us who are members of Congress has already faced this decision (on voting for/against the Iraq war) and let's look at how the others have made their decisions. I'm the only member of Congress who not only voted against authorizing the war but also voted against funding the war. Particularly when we came to understand that the war was based on lies.

There's no question where Dennis stands. And in the process he describes where many of the other presidential contenders stand on Iraq.

Now whether you think Dennis' or other candidates positions are admirable is obviously another matter that everyone can decide for themselves.

And the bit about everything being "based on lies" is the sort of thing you hear endlessly. But I do hope people make the effort to question whether the war really was based on mistruths. And, if so, whether anything really qualifies as a "lie." And, if so, consider what a long list of liars there must be, including most of the other presidential candidates.
