I can't find a complete transcript anywhere, but in yesterday's Senate Foreign Affairs hearing with the General and the Ambassador, one senator nailed it with his framing. Might have been Feingold, but I didn't recognize the voice. He turned around the opening statement of the shill general, something along the lines of "a struggle for power and resources among sectarian and ethnic factions". Is this something America should be sending it's children to die for? And he wouldn't let them squirm away, using specifics to put the question right back in front of them when they tried to dodge. If middle America could drop the "rag head terra-ist" image for just one moment, and see the occupation in the way that senator framed it, I think they might, you know, think.
