Nothing more coming from Nate?

What else is there to say absent further evidence?

You can usually think of something.

If it would make you feel better I could go on a rant about how ridiculous this whole thing that the right has whipped up is and what an absolute disaster Romney's stated position on foreign policy is, but I'd rather play pinball.

Big lies have big consequences.  The president needs to learn that all of the campaign money and champagne in the world is not worth this.

If only you and the chickenhawks had held that belief in 2003 we might have avoided having more than three orders of magnitude more of our people killed than this alleged failure on Obama's part.

Go play pinball.  It just wouldn't be the same if your heart wasn't in it.

Did we have a Presidential election in 2003?  I must have missed it.

Elections are not the only way to influence government. Had more people paid attention to the actual evidence before them rather than the bare assertions masquerading as a rebuttal, they might have voiced their disagreement with the plan to invade Iraq and avoided a lot of the present mess we're in.

Isn't great to be able to look back with 20/20 hindsight?

No hindsight needed then.  It was obvious the lies going on at the time.  What was needed was just regular old sight - as in open their eyes.

Something that most of the people in this country chose not to use.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Those of us who read more than the front page figured it out without the benefit of hindsight.

That does remind me of a very interesting TED talk, though. Be very careful about what you think you remember:

(He's slightly incorrect about his big reveal, but as best I can tell, he would be right if it weren't for amateur video posted on the interwebs)

BREAKING: Early this morning a masked gunman killed a Yemeni security officer that worked at our embassy in Yemen. The Obama administration is reporting that the security officer was shot through the head with an insulting Youtube video, however Yemeni intelligence reports that it was indeed a gun!
When attacked by a mob of clowns, always go for the juggler.

I guess you must be just slightly too far left to appreciate that humor... being in the exact center, I guess I am too.

Neither is blaming the public's interest in the death of four Americans on, wait for it, Mitt Romney. Disgusting animal shows her jelly spine...
