A recent interview with Norah O’Donnell and Cindy Sheehan illustrates exactly what is going wrong in our discussions over the war in Iraq. Current polls show that an overwhelming majority of Americans want a plan to withdraw the troops from Iraq, and yet because congress is ignoring what the American people want, we must be the extreme and “in the fringes”? There seems to be a real disconnect going on here, and the corporate media and congress are living in a bubble.
Norah "quite frankly, do you see members of Congress—and you claim to not be in the fringes, to not be an extremist, and yet what members of Congress support you in your policy?…"
Norah is right that we have no Representation in Washington DC. The American people want to bring the troops home from Iraq but Congress will not even agree to a timetable. The American people want accountability! No one has held Bush accountable for Bush stealing the election in 2000 and 2004. No one has held Bush or congress accountable for violating our constitution with the ‘patriot’ act. No one has held Bush accountable for his illegal immoral attack on Iraq. No one has held Bush accountable for his gross inaction on 9/11 and katrina. No one has held him accountable for illegal wiretapping or lying about the fact that it is illegal. Congress is the most corrupt, most inept, most incompetent group of bumbling idiots we have ever had call themselves our government, but that doesn’t make their behavior okay. They have enabled Bush every step of the way on his evil rampage, but that certainly doesn’t make it right. It is congress who lives on the fringes, and they along with Bush must be removed ASAP.
