Lawrence O'Donnell "They're a Bunch of Cowards"

Here we have Scarborough, and others, defending the rights of people who avoid actually volunteering for war by signing up to serve, nevertheless being that war's loudest proponents and calling anyone who opposes the war "cowards".

They are taken to task by Lawrence O'Donnell who makes some great points. He exposes the essential hypocrisy of the Bush camp's arguments. If the west really is in a historic battle for it's survival, and is facing an enemy as dedicated to it's destruction as the Nazis were, why do Bush and Co. oppose a draft? Why do they oppose paying more taxes to fight this enemy?

I personally believe this is because they know full well how much they are deliberately exaggerating the threat we face (for their own political gain), because - if they truly believed what they say - they would be negligent in their duties not to do everything in their power to face up to this "threat to civilisation".
