RICE'S ADMITS THOUSANDS OF MISTAKES BUT McKINNEY TO BE ARRESTED

In case you haven't heard, Rep. Cynthia McKinney was rumored to have punched a cop who grabbed her after she failed to stop so she could be identified at a security check on Capital Hill. Check out [http://thepete.com/rep-cynthia-mckinney-punches-us-capitol-cop/|my first post on McKinney] for more on this.

Today, [http://www.wsbtv.com/news/8343403/detail.html|an article] at WSBTV.com is reporting that there will be an arrest warrant issued for McKinney--a United States Congresswoman is going to be arrested, apparently, because she punched a Capital cop for grabbing her after she blew him off after he failed to recognize her or see her ID.

Meanwhile, in the UK, Sec. of State Conolleeza Rice admitted that she and the Bush Administration made thousands of mistakes in Iraq. No, seriously, she did. Check out this clip from [http://today.reuters.co.uk/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=topNews&storyID=2006-03-31T202753Z_01_L31226197_RTRUKOC_0_UK-BRITAIN-USA-RICE.xml|this March 31, 2006 article] at http://Reuters.co.uk (my emphasis added):

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice accepted on Friday the United States had probably made thousands of errors in Iraq but defended the overall strategy of removing Saddam Hussein.

Local Muslims and anti-war activists told Rice to "Go Home" when counterpart Jack Straw earlier led her on a tour of his home town of Blackburn in the industrial northwest, an area which rarely plays host to overseas politicians.

"Yes, I know we have made tactical errors, thousands of them," she said in answer to a question over whether lessons had been learnt since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.

So, let me get this straight:

1) The Bush Administration get 13 Strikes against it (breaking international law by invading Iraq, violating the federal ban on covert propaganda, warrantlessly wiretapping Americans, to name just four of the 13).

2) Condi admits thousands of mistakes in connection to the Iraq Attack and occupation that is now responsible for tens of thousands of Iraqi dead and thousands of American military dead.

3) McKinney over-reacts to a grabby cop and punches him.

4) McKinney is arrest-worthy, but not Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, etc...

If historians will be allowed to tell the truth in the future, they are not going to look fondly on this era...
