IT IS TIME TO IMPRISON GEORGE W BUSH

[nomorewhopper]

lets do it

seriously

kick and rec this if you agree

[mtnsnake]

1. I second that emotion!

[succubus.blues]

2. totally.

Go investigate Obama!

[143tbone]

157. You might want to put a comma after investigate.

[progressiveforever]

161. yes...what a difference a comma makes

[ThatsMyBarack]

3. Do it do it do it!

:bounce:

[Fluffdaddy]

4. Forget that asshole........let him fade away

[Peregrine Took]

6. No way. If we don't stop them - they'll do it again and again.

[Julius Civitatus]

22. Bush/Cheney need to be accountable for their crimes

This is a nation of laws, and they have broken the law countless times, with impunity, in the last 8 years. They should be investigated.

[bulloney]

48. The reason why we're in the mess we're in is because we didn't hold the PNAC boys accountable

back in the Reagan days. We didn't hold Nixon's troublemakers accountable and they resurface and cause trouble.

Everybody associated with this Bush mis-administration needs to be tried on war crimes, breaching the Constitution and all of the other things they did in their failure to do the duties they swore to do.

[Zhade]

24. Ah, the old DLC refrain - let the criminals walk.

FUCK THAT NOISE

[JohnnyBoots]

77. Can we drown the DLC in a bath tub yet????????

[Just-plain-Kathy]

79. I want all the criminals to be locked up even if they're a democrat.

Nancy Pelosi should be investigated!!

[jhrobbins]

154. The things that the Bush administration did to this country and our

Constitution will echo for years and years, setting a precedent for future administrations. We need to set a new precedent that will let those future administrations that there are Constitutional consequences to these crimes. IMPEACH NOW!

[WinkyDink]

87. There's no Statute of Limitations for his war crimes.

[dhpgetsit]

102. Would you say the same thing if someone raped your daughter?

Why not let all criminals go unpunished??

[Jester Messiah]

122. Yeah, what's done is done, right?

:eyes:

[earth mom]

5. Totally agree with a HUGE K & R!

:kick:

[JBoy]

7. Agree. He was left alone for politics. The path is now clear.

[Bravo Zulu]

8. Send dumbya to gitmo,

let the guards practice water boarding on him!

[Dinger]

9. Yes, Yesterday

K & R

[RollWithIt]

10. Not gonna happen.... he will be relegated to the world of EPIC FAIL....

He will be imprisoned in his own home. Left to own his failure. No need not be arrested. He is already under house arrest.

[midnight]

195. I think you are on to something here.....

[yojon]

11. He might fade away to Paraguay

taking the treasury with him. No extradition in Paraguay. Martin Bormann might still be alive there.

[neomonkey]

12. I'm there!

That is our next task at hand.
Nothing short of total eternal ridicule following him to the grave would elate me.

[AuntPatsy]

13. Past time....but for this moment. Lets enjoy the moment....of our new country

[nomaco-10]

14. The Hague awaits these criminals. n/t

[Labors of Hercules]

95. I'd prefer them in a special cell in Gitmo, down a dark hole with spiders. nt/

[Borgnine]

15. I want to see Cheney behind bars first.

[file83]

55. He is definitely the most crooked, secretive (for reason), manipulative one

of the bunch. I agree with you.

[petgoat]

142. Cheney, Condi, Rummy, Scooter, Powell. nt

[City of Mills]

16. YES WE CAN

:dem:

[Dinger]

17. Yes, It Will Promote Healing,

which is a great way to move forward.

[still_one]

20. It will not, it will divide the country /nt

[Zhade]

27. You're kidding, right? Letting criminals walk won't?

NT!

[Dinger]

31. Pffft

None of those assholes will walk. They now have to pay the piper. I can't wait for that healing to begin.

[still_one]

32. no I am not, we do not have much time to address the problems bush and the republicans created

if we instead spend it by trying to prosecute him, not only will nothing get done, but we will fail

There is no doubt in my mind that the Obama administration will not pursue your direction, but instead will do what he promised which includes undoing what bush has done

[Zhade]

36. Feel free to ignore the crimes. WE WON'T.

You might not like it, but it's not like we're going to listen to people willing to let criminals walk.

[still_one]

40. Who is "we". Obama and the Congress are not going to do it. In fact there were

Democrats in Congress who were complicit with the bush administration

The Democrats didn't do it in 2006 when it should have been done, and it isn't going to happen

[petgoat]

109. Who gave you the keys to the universe and sole custody of the magic 8 ball? nt

[Raineyb]

85. This attitude is why they've become so bold in the first place

If Clinton had gone after the first Bush and put some asses in jail then maybe Republicans might get the idea that breaking the law would be bad for them. Clinton didn't the thugs got away with their crimes then came in to commit bigger, bolder crimes. They don't even try to pretend to follow the law anymore.

These criminals need to be held accountable.

Regards

[deaniac21]

203. Clinton and Bush 1 are friends. They travel all over the world

together.

[prostock69]

81. No, I don't think it won't either

There are millions of Americans who have no idea what GWB has even done while in office. I think bringing all his and his administration's crimes to the attention of the world will not only educate those who are ignorant (white base of America) but also set an example to those who wish to follow in his footsteps (SARAH PALIN) that we no longer will tolerate the criminal actions of a NEOCON CHRISTIAN NUT JOB that is in office.

[Dukkha]

152. are you trying to suggest were not divided now?

were you not paying attention to the most negative division election in history?

besides no one gives a shit about BushCo anymore and wouldn't make a fuss over defending the worst president ever.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

70. That's why I totally opposed the Nuremburg trials.

We need healing at that moment. Not hate.


:eyes:

[Raineyb]

86. LOL

:rofl:

Regards

[bowens43]

141. no, it won't promote healing. It will have exactly the opposite effect.

It would promote division , hatred and anger.

[petgoat]

144. Division from those who show contempt for democracy, rule of law, and human decency

is just what the doctor ordered, IMHO.

Let those assholes fume and wail.

[Enthusiast]

193. Millions of Republican citizens hate Bush

for what he has done to their party and the country. I'm not sure it would promote division. The Administration is the most secretive in history. We should at least find out what was on those hidden e-mails and learn more about the attorney scandal. Geesh, these guys are crooks in every sense of the word. Our prisons are full of people that did less.

[still_one]

18. He's over, we need to deal with healthcare, the Iraq War, social security, and medicare

We go that direction, Obama will be a one term president

However, if a private group wants to take him to court after he is out of office, that is their right

[snappyturtle]

93. I think we can do both. Really a lot of hearings and investigations

have already taken place. Now is the time to set the record straight. The executive branch has over reached itself into criminal behavior and must be set straight for the future presidents. It will only take a handful of congress critters to get the ball rolling. I guess you can tell in which camp I belong. imho

[BrightKnight]

19. yes but no - n/t

[paparush]

21. Pelosi needs to walk into the Chamber tomorrow and announce Impeachment hearings.

This victory is THE MOST OVERWHELMING condemnation of the Bush Regime and the Bush Doctrine.

THIS is a fucking MANDATE.

[file83]

56. 'Impeachment is now on the table,' is what I want to hear.

[Richardo]

116. You do know the new Congress isn't seated until January right?

[onenote]

121. its a mandate for change. its not a mandate for impeachment

and I guarantee you that the person who least wants COngress farting around with impeachment before the new Congress is sworn in is President-Elect Barack Obama. This is time for him to be rallying the country, to be looking to the future, for his amazing victory to be the news for the rest of the year.

Not a pointless and ultimately fruitless quest to impeach chimpy that can not and would not succeed.

[MsLeopard]

23. K & F'ing R

Lock him up. Throw away the key.

[bdamomma]

25. yes indeed he cannot sneak away from his crimes.

and all the rest of them. they will not crawl under their rocks.

39. After a fair trial, and only for as long as it takes to build the gallows.

[rvablue]

41. Give it a rest....it's time for the future..Prez Obama has a lot on his plate.

[asksam]

42. Not just Bush...

Cheyney, Rice, Ashcroft, Rumsfeld, Roberts, Alito, Scalia, Thomas, McCain, Palin and everyone else who was a member of this criminal administration.

[devin1965]

43. Thanks for this thread!

I truly believe this is a priceless opportunity to have the crimes of the last 8 years looked into.
All of us will have to make our voices be heard. Crimes against humanity and the American people have been committed by the GWB administration. If the criminal gang of the last 8 years is allowed to get away with what they have done-it is shame on us. I know as a group of people if we can come together and get others to join the cause the pigs who have caused this enormous cancerous stain on America can be put on trial. Time is of the essence. The Bush family has bought land in Paraguay where I believe they plan to run to if the heat gets turned up. So many innocent lives lost-it makes me sick.

[chknltl]

44. International War-crimes Tribunal?

Others have said that we need to heal, that is true, we do need healing but there are possible international war-crimes that members of the Bush Administration may need to answer to.
For the invasion of Iraq, for Gitmo and prisons like Gitmo (and the things done there) and for the WMD depleted uranium oxide contaminates which poison the lands of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Does our 'healing' mean that these war-crimes are just forgotten? Are they to be swept under some giant rug? Colin Powel once said, "You break it, you own it." The American people elected Bush, not once but twice. If we are going to walk away from this, if we are going to pretend that these things never happened-just because we need to heal, we may do so at our peril because the International community won't be forgetting what was done....nor will any of 'our' victims.

[NewJeffCT]

45. He's just going to pardon his whole administration

before he leaves - and, he'll say it's to prevent a partisan witch-hunt.

[Divine Discontent]

46. we got the votes if they wanna! lol he did lead us into a false war after all...

and the spying, and the torture... and the sitting around during 9/11, and the going on vacation during Katrina....

Many different Yes We Did items in the Obama/Biden section www.cafepress.com/warisprofitable

[Divine Discontent]

47. now that I'm thinking about it...

I would love to see our justice system get them behind bars on a t-shirt with a "yes! we did!" on it! ha

[Naturyl]

49. He is already imprisoned

In a maximum-security world of FAILURE and worldwide ridicule.

History will judge him harshly. It's over, let's move on and rebuild.

[Chemical Bill]

50. Quick, before the pardons come. n/t

[stuntcat]

51. and it WILL ALWAYS BE TIME

imo the time to officially punish him will never pass. As long as he goes unpunished the people who voted for him can imagine that they didn't pretty much fuck the world with their greed and religious bullshit. Those people need to all be shamed forever. Far as I'm concerned the time to make examples of them and shame them for life will never run out.

162. Libby wasnt pardoned, his sentence was commuted.

His conviction still stands.

[Lilith Velkor]

58. No statute of limitations on treason

Time to imprison, try, and if found guilty, HANG.

[trudyco]

61. Can he pardon his whole adminstration to save himself and buddies?

Or is Treason a separate category?

[TxBlue]

60. Replace Pelosi & Reid and put Bush & Cheney

where they belong for the devastation they have wrought upon this nation and others.

[Spiffarino]

62. Yes...after January 20th.

Keep your cards close to your chest, Congress. Remember the Constitutional power of pardon the President possesses is ultimate and irreversible. If any charge is brought up, it will disappear on January 19th.

Keep it on the DL.

[guyton]

63. does a US Prez (self) pardon ...

have any weight in an international war-crimes trial?

Thought not :-)

[Elderon]

64. I agree with that...

and I also say, let's take his fingers & thumbs away

Chimpy will rattle his cage because he won't have anything to stick in his orifices...

Ok, that's crude, but I can't wait for that bastard to be out...

[mod mom]

65. We MUST turn back to a land of laws and force these criminals to face justice!

[Duppers]

66. Absolutely ! nt

.

[camio]

67. Is that really the smart thing to do?

Sorry, don't kill me, but think about it. Pelosi and Co. might have had a point when they took this off the table. I mean what would happen if the US of A brought to trial, convicted, and imprisoned it's own president for war crimes against "" "" ? Think of the implications - every Iraqi or Afghani or anybody else affected by this disgusting war and their governments would be clamoring for reparations. Add this up over the years we've occupied those countries. We would be in the shitter. Not that I don't think they DESERVE reparations... but just think of how it would be.

:/

[ToolTex]

136. And you think the world's revenge is better than trials and reparations?

edited for typo

[midnight]

68. This is the best post I have seen since waking up to our

New president elect. Barak Obama. For three days I had terrible headaches, upset stomache, I had to start eating icecream to keep my stomache calm. Today is pure calm for me. But I must say that this administration crime spree needs to be addressed. I want the treasury money put back, I want the world to receive an opology, and I want our soldiers home.

[Kurovski]

69. I think we need a trial first.

:-)

And he most likely ain't the only culprit.

There has already been "amnesty"--or whatever--given to private companies that spied illegally on Americans.

Obama will most likely offer many pardons (in the name of "unity" and bi-partisanship") where needed.

--and the beat goes on--

[emmadoggy]

71. I heartily agree. But it's not going to happen.

Obama and the rest of the Democrats (with just a few exceptions) have shown they don't have the stomach for it.

I would love it if they surprised me though!

[GreenPartyVoter]

72. Yep. Not gonna happen.

[NJmaverick]

73. I would love to see this happen, but unfortunately we have much bigger fish to fry

[amyrose2712]

74. They mustn't be allowed to get away with their atrocities!

Although, I doubt very highly that this will happen.

[osmium]

75. True about a trial..

The US should follow whatever the World Court - or more accurately, the International Criminal Court recommends.

(yes, I'm aware of our dismal record of contempt for such ruling bodies)

At the very least, this would put a giant exclamation point on the corrupt, war-mongering Bush Administration.

Would Bush still get his library?

How many copies of My Pet Goat do we really need?

[alison]

76. I wish it would happen.

Bush is a war criminal, plain and simple. Gitmo, anyone?

[jimlup]

78. Can we seek capital punishment?

I mean, we should do it legally and all but in my opinion the man is guilty of treason for more than just 9/11 ...

[panzerfaust]

80. Silvio Berlusconi shows a more likely future

Not that if * goes away, he will ever be able to come back (Silvio is on his third - nonconsecutive - stint as President of the Italian Council of Ministers) as Berlusconi has - but *'s party will surely be trying to make our soon-to-be-president into a one-term wonder.

Before last being thrown out of office, Silvio made many changes in administrative rules and Italian law which made many of his questionably legal actions, entirely legal, and many of his overtly illegal actions questionably legal. More importantly, some of the changes virtually insured that the government which replaced him would not be able to govern. This proved to be true, and he soon bounced back when the government coalition collapsed.

Silvio won reelection even while under indictment for fraud and other criminal actions (Shout Out to Ted Stevens here!). After re-election his first priority was to again change the rules and law so that he could not be prosecuted, and so that he could govern more effectively (or, at least, so that the Right could go back to looting Italy and consolidating power with less interference, which is what he seems to mean by governing).

Even as you read this, the Republorats are gnawing away at the thousands of administrative rules protecting our liberties, our environment, and our social support systems - to inflict as much damage as possible before giving up power. It makes no difference that I am confident that many of these actions will be found illegal, and, eventually reversed - but to do so will consume time, money, and political capital that would otherwise be spent on healing our nation from the ongoing rape of the last eight years.

They are also shoveling money out of the treasury as rapidly as they can to the plutocrats who put them in power - hoping to leave nothing but massive debit for the incoming democratic administration.

There is, in the twenty-first century, no longer any reason for either the Electoral College, or the long delay between election and inauguration. It only gives the outgoing administration time to sabotage the new if they are so inclined.

* was elected on the lies that he was "a uniter, not a divider", someone who would seek "a humble foreign policy", and as the almost oxymoronic "compassionate conservative". One of the first acts of his administration (when the "adults" were in charge again) was to spread the flat-out lie that the departing democrats had stolen all the 'W' keys from the White House computer keyboards.

When our new democratic administration moves into the White House, they will find that * and the departing adults have stolen the nation's treasury, our children's future, and perhaps even democracy itself.

I hope that it is not too late for us to salvage some of this, but absolutely never will Bush, Cheney, and the Plutocracy of which they are members, and who, as * once flatly admitted, are the republican's true "core constituency" be going to jail.

It is a day of triumph for what we have won, but also a day of sadness for what we have lost.

[jimmil]

82. This band of criminals must be put on trial!

As a country we cannot ignore the crimes committed by the Bush administration. We are a land of laws and we must enforce those laws so that the world will know that no one, even those in power, is above the law. If we don't then we are no better than any other country whose government is run by dictators, military junta, or murderers.

90. SERIOUSLY, allow him to resign in disgrace, or impeach and imprison

That will save us from his last minute filth, that takes effect, only after 60 days. Good bargain, and makes hime branded forever unamerican(treason). Cheney too. Discredit their whole approach, and strip them of secret service. They can provide their blackwater protection from the funds his friends skimmed off the taxpayers. There were billions. I would like to see an undressing, like the opening credits to F troop. Followed by an exiling. He isnt given the option. Get out.

Just because Bush and his fellow criminals have thumbed their noses at the rule of law doesn't mean we are entitled to do the same.

98. I'm for the middle ground: imprisoning their asses while at the same

time working for unity and solutions in every other policy area.

That's the middle ground for me...doing both at the same time. Allowing violations of the Hatch Act, allowing political manipulation of the DOJ, lying to congress about Iraq, facilitating torture, forging intelligence, ignoring subpoenas, outing a CIA agent for political purposes, and general abuse of power is NOT the middle ground, it is sending a message that abuse works.

[Independent_Liberal]

125. Once again, my note to the "not gonna happen" crowd...

Yesterday proved anything is possible. "We'll never see a black president in our lifetime." How many times have we heard that? Well, look what happened.

[Jed Dilligan]

126. I agree, but only if the proceedings are international.

We don't need to look like we are politicizing the Justice Department to get back at Bush for doing the same thing. Sure, he has committed a lot of American crimes against the American people, but his greatest crimes were international. Obama should do nothing to keep him from being carted off to the Hague, but it should not be a major effort of his Presidency. We need to look to the future now.

[ToolTex]

156. I think you are completely wrong. His greatest crimes are domestic.

Perpetrated against The Constitution in the name of The American People. If we do not hold him accountable, we condone his crimes and they are our crimes, because The People of America empowered him to act in our name.

The world has the right for reparations and Justice. As it stands, we are as guilty as he; as guilty as were the German people empowering Hitler.

Call it whatever you want, but unless and until Justice is done, the United States will never be safe from the revenge of the Wronged People of the Earth.

As far as looking to the future, I ask you what future? The country is far past bankrupt. You expect health care, energy solutions, etc. Sorry Charlie, Bush stole all the money, the Treasury is empty; the banks are empty holding only IOUs to China called dollars; the larders are empty; only the jails and illegal prisons are full. Little constructive can be done in this country for decades. Bush's legacy is the inoculation against liberal populism and regulation far into the future.

We "were" a rich country; but that was eight years ago!

[Jed Dilligan]

163. Wow, with that attitude how can we fail?

Absolutely, you have convinced me that utter pessimism and a grim fixation on the recent past are the only way we can... wait, what is it that we're trying to achieve again?

[ToolTex]

169. To live with honour and security among the world communities. n/t

[Jed Dilligan]

170. I don't think that charging Bush with crimes against the Constitution

will do anything for our security--people will attack America for reasons that are much less obscure to them. And honor? (That's the way it's spelled in America, btw.) There might be some restoration of honor in charging Bush with domestic crimes, but it will be minor compared the honor we could gain from positive, forward-thinking action.

It's weird that you assume other countries take our constitution more seriously than we do. I don't really think they care all that much about election fraud, domestic surveillance, habeas corpus, or whichever of his constitutional violations are, in your mind, more severe than lying to the U.N. to justify a war of aggression. I think most people in the world would rather see him answer to his international crimes in a world court.

138. Kickin' Again!

I love this thread! Yaaaayyy!

[specimenfred1984]

139. This topic should be re-posted every 24 hours

War crimes and treason are not crimes that are ever forgotten, if America doesn't hold the criminals accountable then we will never have peace, credibility or democracy. Take a look at some of the monstrosities that have occurred over the last 8 years:

140. I'ts not going to happen. It's not what we need. nt

[specimenfred1984]

185. We don't need to follow the Geneva Conventions or U.S. Law?

Thanks for letting me know you have the power to do that.

[nomorewhopper]

143. imprisonment warns future leaders to avoid things like torture, war crimes, and illegal wiretaps

[progressiveforever]

160. Even being charged is good enough- but we have to warn future leaders

this shit stops here

[RoccoR5955]

145. Not just Bush,

but the entire cabala of Bushco, Inc.
They all need to be in jail for the rest of their natural lives, without hope for parole!

[MissDeeds]

146. Absolutely

K&R :kick:

[geraldatwork]

147. Not A Good Idea

It would be a diversion and take focus and effort away from the things this country needs to do. We need to come together to get things done. While I agree the whole bunch of them are criminals just let them fade into irrelevance. Lets not be bad winners.

[ToolTex]

168. Get what done? Bush stole all the money. n/t

[JEB]

148. Jail for Bush.

The least he deserves. Over a million innocents killed for his chosen war of aggression.

[Ozma]

149. We can do it on January 21 2009 Bush, Cheney, Rove, Gonzo Rummy...

All renditioned to some secret country in Europe to stand trial in the Hague!

[JEB]

150. Time to clean house.

Not just Bush, but Cheney, Bolton, Novak, etc. etc.

153. Do it now, before he has time to pardon everybody!

K&R

[man4allcats]

155. K&R!

:kick:

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

158. No truth and justice...

...no healing.

[vanboggie]

159. It must be done

We were so close to the precipice...it just cannot happen again. So off to The Hague with the bastards if Nancy won't do it.

[Grinchie]

164. All these post that say it would incite hate are right.

When the american public see all the evidence laid out in front of them of the crimes that Bush and Cheney have committed, Bush and Cheney would have a hard time leaving the house.

Better yet, they'd be doing Hard Time in the Big House.

[Hotler]

165. Never, ever let a Bush hold any office again.

The only way to do that is to jump down hard on W and the rest of the treasonous thieving thugs. Never forget the Bush family is a crime family.

[greyseal5]

176. Hell, never let them procreate again

And never take your eye off Jeb.

[bridgit]

166. Can I still rec this thread? Let's find out; hm, hm ,hm......Yay! It Worked!!

:bounce: :kick:

[ToolTex]

167. Last night Bush said to Obama, "Have fun!" His greatest crimes are domestic.

Perpetrated against The Constitution in the name of The American People. If we do not hold him accountable, we condone his crimes and they are our crimes, because The People of America empowered him to act in our name.

The world has the right for reparations and Justice. As it stands, we are as guilty as he; as guilty as were the German people empowering Hitler.

Call it whatever you want, but unless and until Justice is done, the United States will never be safe from the revenge of the Wronged People of the Earth.

As far as looking to the future, I ask you what future? The country is far past bankrupt. You expect health care, energy solutions, etc. Sorry Charlie, Bush stole all the money, the Treasury is empty; the banks are empty holding only IOUs to China called dollars; the larders are empty; only the jails and illegal prisons are full. Little constructive can be done in this country for decades. Bush's legacy is the inoculation against liberal populism and regulation far into the future.

We "were" a rich country; but that was eight years ago!

[Piewhacket]

171. I rec'd it, cuz It would be a nice dream, BUT...

First we have to impeach and remove. Then we prosecute.
So what is the problem?

We don't have the friggin VOTES! (in the senate).

so will you folks quit this unseemly masturbating in public
and turn to things we can actually DO in the next few months?

(Sorry, no offense really meant to my DU friends,
just sayin.... k?)

[im1013]

172. ABSOLUTELY!!!

K&R!


:kick:

[Ronbeaux]

173. In order to bring change and move forward...

We MUST hold those accountable for whatever subversion of American law was perpetrated upon We, The People. Failure to do so will only lead to it again in the future.

Pres. Obama needs to review what has occurred over the past 8 years in this country, have what needs to be investigated done so with fairness and diligence, and bring the FULL force of American law upon those deserving of it. Whether that be an undersecretary or the past President, NONE of them are above the law and they must be held accountable.

[valerief]

174. Toss in Cheny and Rummy, too! Put 'em in Gitmo and release the innocents there. nt

[greyseal5]

175. Since I can't kick him in the balls

...prison will do just fine.

[Swagman]

177. off to the Hague..is there still time to impeach ?

[TankLV]

178. It's a START...

but he needs to be PUNISHED...

and something French or Russian or Italian would be appropriate...

[Catholic Libertarian]

179. First post!

:)

I absolutely agree. Dick Cheney, too. He's Dubya's handler after all.

[bertman]

180. Highly rec and kick.

[southerncrone]

181. And Cheney & Rove & Rummy & Libby & Condy & many more.

:kick: K&R!

[SusanaMontana41]

182. Way past time, imo

My fondest wish for the Boy King, Darth, Rummy, Adelman, Rove, et.al. would be for them to live long lives and die in prison.

Preferably one of their secret prisons.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

183. Never happen, Obama would pardon him anyway.

[Heathen57]

184. This should be done

even though I doubt those in congress have the balls to do so. Not to try, convict, and punish those responsible for the high crimes and misdemeanors they did, is to spit on the Constitution. Those laws were put in place for a reason, to stop the crimes from happening, and to punish those who do break the laws.

IMO, try, convict, and set punishment then send them over to the world court to be tried for their international war crimes.

[Veracious]

186. Let the trials begin.

[trusty elf]

187. He certainly deserves imprisonment.

[barack the house]

188. It's wasted time and effort it really is.Just as long as they go peacefully really. That will do me.

[Swamp Rat]

189. Not for us in New Orleans

Guess you had to be here.

[Mrspeeker]

190. lets move on

Its over or will be, we need to turn our focus on to just about everything that he screwed up and fix it, which is just about everything lol!

[Ohio Joe]

191. Justice must be served

A fair trial and a prison cell after his conviction. K&R.

[roberto]

192. Si ,a prision !!

[nightwing1240]

194. Would love to see Bush and Cheney in Orange jumpsuits!!

Two criminals leading this country to the path of self destruction all the while filling their pockets with huge oil profits and windfalls from all their cronies. Imprison them?? I say hang em high!!

[jeff30997]

197. And don't forget abou thay one:

[Iggo]

196. It's long past time.

But please don't hold your breath.

[Imagevision]

198. Somebody must investigate Bush and Cheney for possible crimes intentionally committed!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

199. no its not. have you not heard obama? he said he would not particate in divisive politics

there is NO WAY he would support this

[nomorewhopper]

202. i believe that you are right, but if the country pressed, we could see it happen

we need to fire a warning shot to future presdients.

want to use torture? war crimes?

go directly to jail!

[Kjaereste]

200. Way overdue. K&R

[specimenfred1984]

201. Justice and Law, imagine a USA that actually believed in those things

Instead, we have millions who could care less about holding criminals accountable.
