lying about a war that thousands have died in is like a crime isn't it?

[mopaul]

like a really SERIOUS crime? or am i imagining things?

1. Not in Bush's world.

NOTHING is a crime for him or his cabal.

2. No, you're not imagining things. We're in a real-life nightmare.

It's a serious crime. It's not about an intern or her blue dress. It's not even about Rove's sugar boy planted in WH press conferences.

It's about thousands of lives caused by lies.

It's about billions of taxpayers' money thrown to the wind as a result of these lies, including $8.8 billion of reconstruction money that was pocketed.

Not only do Bush & Blair and their abettors need to be removed from office, they need to be put in jail.

4. Um,...it's pretty serious shit,...like, treasonous,...

,...especially if the economic and national security of this nation was not only sacrificed but threatened by a cabal that was pursuing interests of,...uh,...another nation and multi-national corporations.

Yep. This is a very, very serious criminal conspiracy happenin'. Yes, indeed.

Imagine a cabal that acquires political power and exploits that power for interests outside the U.S. of A. That is what we have at hand.

I'd say,...we are looking at an especially serious and egregious and horrific crime. YUP!!!

6. Sort of.....

but those in power say what is a crime. Because there is no longer an independent judiciary that would stop them with their crimes. They will continue to lie and steal. That's why we so desperately need an independent third branch of government. Because the second branch is not independent either. So, there are no independent branches of government. They decide what is legal and what is not. They decide what is torture and what is not. They decide who is on God's side and who is not. But a crime?

7. Only if the war is going bad, in most peoples eyes

I think it's been hard to get anyone to act on this because we are still at war. Had this gone well Bush would be a hero and no one would think about going after him but what Bush didn't count on was things going badly. Now his ass may get fried!
