Are we not beyond "Impeachment"? This administration
has broken so many laws, should the rallying cry now be "Indict". Impeach, even if successful, still leave the same horrible group where they are. We need to be rid of them. Is one necessary to proceed to the next? Can't we get it over all at once? We will not last until the end of this term. He, **** will have us all blown to smithereens!

1. The Bush administration has lied its way into a crisis in Iraq and may
be considering a new attack on Iran. We're not sure about the second one, but quite sure of the first.

I don't believe you can sustain a foreign policy based on comprehensive deceit.

In a Democratically controlled House and Senate, a lot of this president's initiatives would have been differently designed to accommodate objections from the loyal opposition. But the GOP is in charge now of all 3 branches of government, and the most effective strategy is to allow Patrick Fitzgerald's team to do its work. It's been a reliable team so far. No reason to subvert it.

It could be that a second indictment, this time of the vice president, could be forthcoming. This close to a midterm election, that would make it very difficult for many GOP Congressfolks to win re-election. With more blue votes in both chambers, impeachment and accountability are more likely.

2. He should be tried for war crimes
and if those trials aren't rigged, he would be convicted

America won't have much reason to hold her head up if the Bush Regime isn't tried for their crimes.
Course, America is arrogant enough to continue to point out other countries human rights abuses without ever doing anything about her own. America is really good at pointing that finger and with wild eyed innocence exclaiming, "Who U.S?....but...but...We're the liberty people!" Guess that makes torture the growing pains of liberty, huh? We're torturing those people to free them!


There will be those who manage to justify not prosecuting the Bush Regime for war crimes - those people I call the "just as guilty" crowd. You'll be able to spot them by their choice of phrases. Among those phrases - "Good of the country","More harm than good","Serves no purpose", and the most hypocritical of all, "Americans are tired of all the politics".

It's been 61 years since 1945 - and people are still trying to explain Nazi Germany. Book after book after book after book....and that's WITH a war crimes tribunal taking place

Imagine what they will be saying about Americans in 61 years if Bush isn't tried before a war crimes tribunal?


But I guess now isn't the time to worry about what the future will bring...(ho-hum, twiddle my thumbs)
