This statement should go into any public record as a comment on the legacy of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Kristol, and all the other neocon liars that we have suffered in this nation over the last several years.

Where this will end? In the Abyss, one may prophesy; whither all Delusions are, at all moments, travelling; where this Delusion has now arrived.

For if there be a Faith, from of old, it is this, as we often repeat, that no Lie can live forever.

The very Truth has to change its vesture, from time to time; and be born again. But all Lies have sentence of death written down against them, in Heaven’s Chancery itself; and, slowly or fast, advance incessantly towards their hour.
~Thomas Carlyle
