This also from Dan Froomkin's page on washingtonpost.com:
"Gordon Trowbridge writes in the Detroit News: 'Lee Iacocca, author of the original business management best-seller, is giving President Bush an 'F' in leadership.
"'In a book to be released Tuesday, the former Chrysler CEO -- who supported Bush's first campaign in 2000 but backed Sen. John Kerry four years later -- accused Bush of leading the nation to war 'on a pack of lies' and lacking the basic components of good leadership.
"'"I think our current President should visit the real world once in a while,'
Iacocca writes, according to excerpts from "Where Have All the Leaders Gone?
released on the Web site of publisher Simon & Schuster. . . .
"'Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening?' Iacocca writes. 'Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder.'"
Wow, I couldn't have said it better!

You may not have said it better, but you said it YEARS AGO. Why did it take six years for people to come to their senses and pay attention to what is going on? Imagine how different things would have been if Lee Iacocca and other famous/powerful people had spoken out and punched holes in the lies that led to where we are today.
You and I saw through the lies, why did so many others ignore them?
Why?... probably because they were afraid to be called "un-patriotic" (remember when Bill Maher said "We have been the cowards lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly." after 9/11?). There's a great line in the film "A Clockwork Orange" that sums it up: "The people will trade their liberties for a quiet life." Now the soldiers who have had their tours extended another three months don't even have that!
