Bush refuses to intervene, some Rep. Senators ask him to resign

[steve2470]

Am I naiive here ? My entire life, it's always been the sitting President's "duty" to call for a cease-fire/truce/peace in a war along with diplomacy. I am absolutely astonished that, so far, no one has seriously taken him to task publicly for being so insanely aloof. What is it going to take for Republican senators with intact brains to go to the White House and ask him to resign ? Yeah, I know we'd get Darth Cheney but at least we'd force him out of that damn bunker for a while.

1. Bushco stands to make too much money on oil

when things are this unstable in the ME. Don't expect Bush to do a damn thing to screw up his retirement.

[RummyTheDummy]

2. Frankly I'm glad he hasn't intervened

Because the only way he knows how to intervene is to blow shit up and kill people.

[jwirr]

6. You have a point.

3. partial answer here

<snip>

We certainly have to hand it to Israel and its American neoconsevative agents. They have succeeded on entirely false pretenses in launching two wars in the Middle East and now they have prepared the ground for a general conflagration.

Who is to stop them? The Condi Rice State Department? Be serious.

The Democratic Party? What a laugh!

The power mad Republicans who have sold their souls?

The Christian Evangelicals who believe the destruction of huge numbers of people in the Middle East is the lead up to "the Rapture" in which they will be wafted up to Heaven?

The UN Security Council, where the US never fails to veto any resolution or sanction against Israel?

11. ah yes, those wascally

neocons (code forjews) and israel....again close to conquering the earth and beyond.

[leftchick]

13. yes

they are a figment of our imaginations now aren't they? :eyes:

[adriennui]

15. they are an overblown paranoid obsession

in some people's minds. me? i'm worried about a wild eyed terrorist with a belt full of explosives tied to his waist. different strokes for different folks. no?

[leftchick]

16. you are

bushco**s target audience then.

[adriennui]

20. i despise bush and his policies

it's just too easy for people like you to label anyone who disagrees with you on israel a bush-lover.
you are so very ill informed and insulting.

[mitchum]

22. Is that similar to labeling anyone who disagrees with Israeli policies...

as being antisemitic?

[leftchick]

24. project

much?

4. this entire thing is his fault

Clinton had the two sides close to a permanent peace agreement. Bush disengages and stirs up crap in the region.

[Donna Zen]

17. Absolutely: bush's fault

To one degree or another, all administrations have worked to broker peace in the Middle East. The foreign policy rule was that the road to peace in the Middle East ran through Jerusalem. It was the AEI whiz-kids that decided that the road ran through Baghdad. Wise people knew they were wrong, but the PNACers got their way.

If we have any foreign policy at all (something that I highly doubt) it is completely ass-back-wards, and has brought all of us to this point.

While I have cautioned about using the word impeachment, because of its negative effect on the 06 races, today all I can do is think that we need to dump this administration now. Absolutely. Right now. The world can't take another 5 nano-seconds of an America this out of control.

That jack-off blustering on about eating "pig" while innocent people are sucked into a death spiral because of his inability to access even a rudimentary brain, is the last straw. He's got to go. The madness has to stop. And we must rise to the responsibility of our citizenship.

This is all bush's fault, and the fault of those who put him there. All of them...the whole damn lot.

5. If Bush intervened, he would just screw it up even worse.

7. it's not too late to add (fiction) to your title

you had me all excited, gd damnit! :(

[baldguy]

8. The necrocons WANT the ME to be in turmoil.

It keeps people in fear - and fear is what they can exploit best.

[Raydawg1234]

14. Exactly, I was flipping through tv Chanel's, and saw that FOX news

was talking about "hezbolah sleeper cells in the U.S.," saying that they could choose to strike at any time.

[spindrifter]

9. Yes, Putin calls for

a cease fire to give diplomacy a chance, but our Feckless Fool just says it ain't right to give Israel military advice, but, oh, try not to kill t-o-o-o many civilians. Disgusting!

[BlackVelvet04]

10. Your title is very misleading.....n/t

[Hubert Flottz]

12. War is good for GOP politics!

The more war we have the closer Bush is to Absolute power!

[New Government]

18. Subject line reads like a News Headline (a misleading one at that).....nt

[cantstandbush]

19. Most of Congress are closet neocons. Or at least most of the most

powerful and influential. You will all have to do your homework and get the word out to vote these folks out no matter what their past voting record has been or the US will never belong to its citizens.

[steve2470]

21. sorry, did not mean to mislead nt

23. This keeps the Plame Lawsuit off the front page! Be patriot, dude!

[mmonk]

25. He's not aloof at all (which makes this administration so dangerous).

War is what they want.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

26. Why does this line keep popping up in my head?

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
