John Cusack Antiwar Radio with Scott Horton (3 of 3)

Actor, writer and producer John Cusack discusses his new satire War Inc., which opens Friday, May 23rd, in New York and Los Angeles, his outrage at the criminality of modern American war profiteers, the need for a grassroots bumrush of the first showings to guarantee national distribution, some critics' complaints that the movie "hits too close to home," the great journalists whose work has inspired him, the socialization of the costs of all these private armies onto the American tax payer, the outsourcing of interrogation, the betrayals of the Democrats, the banality of evil, the short-changing of the troops while private mercenaries cash in and militarism in the movies. (Watch out! A few bad words.)

Cusack keeps mentioning Republicans, but Dems and Republicans are two sides of the same coin...wonder if he's realized that yet? Clearly, is Obama any different than Bush?

I think it is only right that we honor the true heroes of the Bush war on this Memorial Day. These are the true leaders of Corporate America that have guided us on this "war on terror" or "weapons of mass distruction" or "Iraq freedom" or whatever you want to call this smoke and mirror war. These are my heroes: George Bush, Dick Chaney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and the smam dunk man himself George Tenet. Yeah right. Excuse me while run for the balconey and throw up.
