Thoughts and conclusions following last night's ABC News special are moving at an astonishing pace. I'm still amazed that we were able to hold back the tears while watching the show. My stomach was in knots long after the TV was turned-off.
For those reading this blog and navigating PNA, if you missed the show it's not too late! ABC has built a sizeable page devoted to the Woodruff experience. Link
It's becoming normal for the networks to stream everything on the internet the day after broadcast (and their entertainment arms criticize HBO for multiple airings - maybe by the time there's HBO-21 they'll get the hint). For those who are the true champions of veterans and those in the Armed Services this page is breathtaking.
The national dialogue that Bob Woodruff started Tuesday night has the potential to break the wall of silence and denial that has been built around the true costs of the needless war created by the current occupant of the White House. After last night's pathetic interview performance it shouldn't take much more for Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson to either come clean on Neocon hypocrisy or resign.
This promises to be the first of many broadcasts on the consequences of Iraq. As they progress I expect a growing wave of criticism against the current occupant. So many doors to the truth were opened that the neocon spin-masters will be hard pressed to restore those shrouds of lies and deceit. They will certainly try.
