SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER

..."The fact that this may become a crisis of governance should please no one," Wilson said at a private hotel reception before speaking in downtown Seattle Wednesday evening...

Greeted by a boisterous, packed house of about 900 people at Seattle's Town Hall, Wilson said that by publicly questioning the president's reasoning for the war in Iraq, he was simply acting in the country's best traditions...

Wilson said he was withholding judgment regarding the claims about Cheney. "I don't know what to think of that, except to say it saddens me deeply. I get no satisfaction from that."...

"I believe in the institutions that have made our country great for 229 years," he said. "I continue to believe that the system, rooted to the rule of law, will be up to the task."

1. It is a sad day

but I am enjoying it.

[The Backlash Cometh]

4. It will be Independence Day.

I feel like we've been fighting civil war for the last ten years.

[Orsino]

6. Yep. Sad five years, but a happy day.

You're wrong, Joe. Indictments are about the only legal way out of the thuggery that has been dismantling America. Why not celebrate the beginning of the case against the * regime?

[MissMillie]

2. He's a class act

Yes, we will cheer when those who lie and cheat and leak National Security secrets get the justice they deserve, but it IS a sad day that our nation's leaders will resort to illegal activity just to promote a war that benefits their rich campaign contributors.

Watergate was more than 30 years ago, but apparently those hungry for power and wealth still haven't learned anything.

[calimary]

11. It is a sad day in that regard, but also a happy one. It's ALWAYS

a happy day when justice is served, when crime doesn't pay, when cheaters don't prosper, when the bad guys lose, and when the good guy gets his man (men? woman - contradicta, karen hughes, susan ralston?)

This is a double-sided day, Mr. Wilson. Sad because it's had to come to this, but happy that it was able to come to this.

I for one feel as though it could just as easily be called LIBERATION Day!!!! Because I've felt like a frickin' hostage since December 12th, 2000.

21. He has to set the mood...before he gets systematically Roved

I think, once we all know what we're dealing with, we'll settle down again and get to work.

We've suffered incredible frustration for 5 years. Stolen elections, a war of fakery and death, our middle class's hard earned money sucked into the WAR CORPORATIONS, losing New Orleans, LA, MS and FL is still waiting for FEMA, a Supreme Court going through the shredder, 45 million people without medical help, no honest voting systems, campaign finance that feeds corruption, police are killing citizens with should-be outlawed weapons, police who know NOTHING about our Constitutional Rights, the loss of good people in our Intel and military, a sadomasochist represents us at the UN, a near sighted CONGRESS which can't get outside of 'the belt' and SEE THE DESTRUCTION THEY ARE CAUSING.........

'Our emotional response', to these indictments, couldn't be more perfect...today.

We'll see how we feel tomorrow...when tomorrow comes.

3. Spoken like a true diplomat

but you know inside he'll be happy to get some justice.

[shadowknows69]

5. I don't know that any justice

will give Joe or Valerie any peace. She'll literally be a target for the rest of her life.

[lonestarnot]

7. Sad on them! Sad for our country that is was deceived into letting

them by with it, sad for letting them create crisis, BUT HAPPY TO FUCKING BUST THE TREASONIST BASTARDS! Sorry Joe.

[Demeter]

8. Nothing Sad About It!

It will be the beginning of the end of a very sad day--the cleanup phase of the worst time in America since the Abolition struggle culminated in the Civil War and Reconstruction.

(One could make the case that this is the sequel to that debacle, but I think events have moved WAY beyond the simple "Revenge of the South" theme that materialized at the beginning of this whole GOP fascist/religious bigot takeover.)

[rodeodance]

9. yes, it will be bittersweet. The damage is done for Jr though-whether

or not actual indictments come or not. If actual indictments--it will be icing on the cake.

[2Design]

10. it is sad the state of our congress and wh - all of them in both

parties continue to sell out the american people for corporations
as shown by the stripping of peoples rights and wages and jobs and healthcare and the rest of fdr work - most of them play a part in destroying the people and they voted for this war - we the ordinary people had more sense than most of them

[wookie294]

12. Fitzmas is not a sad day

It's a celebration day, baby! yeehaw!

:toast: :bounce: :party: :hippie:

[Moochy]

14. Call me petty if you have to but I agree

It's going to be a great day. If even a little bit of Justice comes the bush admin's way thats a great thing.

Cheer up you strict Catonians!!

[Algorem]

13. only way I'll be sad is if the whole gang doesn't hang

[buddysmellgood]

15. Very diplomatic Joe. You said the right thing in the right way. NOW LET'S

PARTY!

[peacetalksforall]

16. What is sad is that we have had to be prisoners of these arrogant

schemers, murderers, profiteers for three plus decades without really knowing what they were about and what was happening to us.

Their arrogance and drive based on their successes and where it has taken the world is a travesty.

What is not sad is that because of the computer -

. we can sit practically anywhere and learn what they are doing and what they have done.
. we are not subject to having to wait for and spend $20 to buy a book of revelations by some earnest and patriotic author that explains what they are doing and what they have done.
. we get to share out little tidbits of information of articles we have read and references we can pull up and link to.
. we get to help each other dissect the news hours and days before it hits msm.
. because we've already dissected it, we are able to detect the bs of the msm stars and guest propaganda experts.
. we get to see through the programming of the guest experts and their endless seminars, especially on C-Span Wash Journal.

We get to look at documents shared from Italy about something like the forged yellocake papers as soon as they are released.

Cheney and Rumsfeld are the neanderthals if they think they can keep getting away with their plans to make some people richer than kings and murder and torutre throngs and reduce the population - plus delude the soldeirs and then take away their benefits.

Cheney and Rumsfeld - Co-Presidents of the U.S. Hopefully, past co-presidents of a war torn United States of Corporations so that we can regain our United States of the Americas (with improvements).

17. It is a very sad day that this has happened

Very sad that the people have been so fooled by this evil administration that they have allowed them to remain in power for this long and to do this ongoing crap. On the other hand, if no indictments come down, it will be an even sadder day.

[DRoseDARs]

18. A day when deep corruption in government is exposed is NEVER a sad day...

Nothing like a little light shining on the matter to make the cockroaches scurry for cover.

[kestrel91316]

19. It would be much sadder still if there were to be NO indictments.........

[Greeby]

20. Awww comeon Joe

Show a little Fitzmas spirit :toast:

[MadisonProgressive]

22. I'll have to remember that as I laugh my ass off

[Bridget Burke]

23. It's sad that it came to this.

Justice may be done, but it's too late for more than 2000 Americans. And how many thousand Iraqis?

[fshrink]

24. No thanks. I've had my share of "compassion".

[truthisfreedom]

25. you know, he's right. he's absolutely right.

now bring on the Fitzmas presents! 8^)

[goodboy]

26. Town Hall is where we had Andy Stephenson's memorial service.,

just reminded me...
