V-I-C-T-O-R-Y In shrub's Wars ...
.

You know, shrub's decision to pass his war onto the next administration must really be galling shrub. Think about it. shrub misses an opportunity to declare victory in Iraq and to give himself a triumphant parade through the streets of Washington and New York.

Of course the ongoing war in Iraq does allow shrub to distract the people from the major domestic failures of shrub's administration. This too will pass. shrub's war on the people of USA will also need to be addressed by the incoming administration.

The people deserve a full accounting of the era of shrub. It is time for the people to declare victory and take back USA.

Bush lied, people died.
No Amnesty, no pardons no immunity!!
Hold them accountable!

1. It'll be interesting
to see who Bush pardons as he leaves office. Can he pardon himself?

3. Nothing Against shrub Pardoning Hisself. ...
.

"... he (the President) shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment. ..." Article II Section 2 US Constitution

Not that this administration has been a fan of the Constitution. But rest assured that they will scream loud that they deserve to be protected by the Constitution (the very document they have for eight years trashed) once they leave office.

6. The Pardon is only valid in the US. He can still be hunted down like a dog
by the international judicial system.

8. We need to keep pushing for war crime charges. I think what he did
rises to treason.

2. But he already declared victory, remember?
President Cheney has from the start had a deliberate intention that we would stay in Iraq forever. Junior has always known that so he never had any hopes of having any party to welcome the troops home. Just the mission accomplished thing.

4. Obviously you have never seen him driving around DC
He travels with a huge motorcade of DC police, a swat van, 2 limos with smoked black glass, and a news van. There are police at every intersection to stop traffic from getting in his way. He is also usually travelling at a high rate of speed. If there were ever a "victory parade", nobody would see it because of the security around it.

5. An interesting quote by Alexander Solzhenitzyn
“A state of War only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny.”

- Alexander Solzhenitzyn
