How to get your war on....

Kevin Drum at The Washington Monthlybrings us the talking points that Dirty Harry sent out from his office just before he shut down the senate:

Most important decision a President makes is to put American lives at risk and go to war.



Many of us supported the decision to invade Iraq based on the national intelligence presented at the time.



Over the past few months, and vividly last Friday, we’ve learned that we were given bad information. Americans were intentionally deceived.



White House indictments confirm Republicans tried to silence critics and cover up the real intelligence.



America deserves answers. National security is at stake.



If mistakes were made, we need to know. Otherwise, we are doomed to repeat them.



Republicans committed to investigate how national intelligence was used to set the stage for war.



Now, they are refusing to keep that commitment. What are they afraid of America learning?



Republicans must come clean. It is our shared responsibility to be straight with the American people.



Stakes could not be higher. That is why we are demanding answers through an unprecedented closed Senate session.



We will not let up until America gets answers.



Together, America Can Do Better

CNN calls it a "Full scale revolt" by Dems. It certainly took me by surprise.
