please see this movie

not the best idea, to watch this before sleeping, but it's been on my queue for awhile and after seeing the Oscar list again, i wanted to give it a watch.

please see this movie. rent it, Netflix it, something. As Cintra Wilson said, it's not the feel good hit of the winter, but at least it will make you think about what the fuck we are doing over there and how badly we have messed things up. And it's a concise and intelligent presentation of the timeline of the War so far and just how badly we have firked up every single step. We could have done some good. Instead, we did every single thing wrong. How?

my overriding emotion towards Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bremer, Rice, and Bush was complete disgust watching this. If i ever meet these people, i will not let them shake my hand.
But i'll glady direct the majority of my ire at Bush. I'm so ashamed of him. I'm ashamed that we share human DNA. This man is worse than an evil, snarking succubus like Cheney. He's the worst combination of ignorance and recklessness.

I know I'm not saying anything new or revelatory. But my disappointment, disgust, and shame at the situation is palpable, like the iron taste of blood in your mouth.
As a citizen of this country, i feel utterly exhausted from just having endured the injustices of this administration. The injustices and inhumanity exacted on the rest of the world and on my fellow Americans by a bumbling idiot, Bush.
I'm exhausted and there's still months to go. I worry that we won't survive it.
