Did you hear what Joe Scarborough said this morning on MSNBC's Morning Joe?

"I would guarantee you, guarantee you, that while a lot of people in Manhattan and Georgetown and on college campuses are worried about what happened in 2002 and the lead up to the war, Americans are concerned about what's happening now."

Got that? If you are "worried about what happened in 2002 and the lead up to the war," then according to Joe Scarborough you are not an American.

Bush's invasion of Iraq has killed nearly 4,000 young Americans and 1 million Iraqi civilians. It has maimed, terrorized and displaced millions more. It has cost $500 billion in future taxes and $3 trillion in total economic costs in the first five years alone. It has broken our military through extended deployments and recruiting abuses. And it has destroyed America's reputation in the world.

In other words, it was the worst foreign policy disaster in American history - and a war crime of historic proportions.

Polls show 60% of Americans believe the invasion was a "mistake."

But that's way too polite - most of us believe it was a disaster for which Bush and Cheney should be held accountable through impeachment now, followed by indictment and prison after they leave office.

And you'd better believe we're Americans, Joe.

It's Americans who are fighting and dying in Iraq, or returning home physically or mentally maimed. It's Americans who are paying the financial costs of the war through higher taxes and higher gasoline prices due to the Middle East turmoil that Bush unleashed. (Gas prices dropped to $1.10 per gallon after 9/11, but rose to $1.75 after Bush invaded Iraq, kept climbing to a record $3.18 now, and will hit $4 in the spring, even if George Bush doesn't know - or doesn't care.)

The invasion of Iraq was based entirely on lies - lies about non-existent Iraqi WMD's and lies about non-existent Iraqi ties to Al Qaeda. Those lies were entirely deliberate, as we learned from the Downing Street Memos:

But in the months before Bush invaded Iraq, all the TV networks - led by MSNBC and NBC - broadcast nothing but lies.

MSNBC actually fired the only host who dared to allow war critics to appear - Phil Donohue. And who did they replace Donohue with? You got it - Joe Scarborough, a former rightwing Republican Congressman who totally supported the invasion.

Joe Scarborough owes his TV career to NBC's pre-war lies, so it's no wonder that Scarborough doesn't want to talk about "what happened in 2002 and the lead up to the war."

But Americans do - and that's why Joe Scarborough should be fired.

At the start of Morning Joe on February 28, host Joe Scarborough declared: "I would guarantee you, guarantee you, that while a lot of people in Manhattan and Georgetown and on college campuses are worried about what happened in 2002 and the lead up to the war, Americans are concerned about what's happening now."

So according to Joe Scarborough, people who care about the deliberate lies (see AfterDowningStreet.org) that got America into a war that has killed 4,000 young Americans and 1 million Iraqi civilians, maimed, terrorized and displaced millions more, cost $500 billion in future taxes and $3 trillion in total economic costs in the first five years alone, broken our military through extended deployments and recruiting abuses, and destroyed America's reputation in the world - in other words, the worst foreign policy disaster in American history - are not Americans.

In that case, 60% of Americans who believe Iraq was a mistake are not Americans according to Joe Scarborough.

Those of us who are in that 60% hereby demand that MSNBC fire Joe Scarborough for this appalling and unacceptable insult.
