A majority of one

President George W. Bush is thwarting the will of the American people. His promised veto of a war funding bill that includes a timeline for pulling troops from Iraq flies in the face of what the American people thought they were voting for in November and what the polls say voters want.

I think Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), who is running for president, summed it up nicely (from Talking Points Memo):

“We are one signature away from ending the Iraq War. President Bush must listen to the will of the American people and sign this bill so that our troops can come home.”

I didn’t get a chance to see the Moyers program on the press’ abject failure in the leadup to the Iraq war, but the press critic David Sirota offers a summary and spot-on critique of Washington journailsm’s failings here.

Dispatches: Speaking out against a lost war

Dispatches is up and ready for a read. It is on the benefits of protesting agains the war.

(This, by the way, will be the 1,000th post since we moved the blog to Blogger last summer. Not sure if that is champaigne-worthy. Maybe a nice cup of coffee, though.)

McCain just doesn’t get it when it comes to Iraq and, I fear, he never will.
