Can You Say Bush Crimes ? Sheeple People ?

Question

A Short List of Bush Crimes
I like this letter writer's succinct litany of the Bushian crimes:
To the Editor:

"At White House, a Day of Silence on Role of Rove" (front page, July 12) reveals another example of the despicable conduct of high officials in the Bush White House.

First, they fixed the intelligence and facts to further their agenda for war. Then they punished patriotic public servants who disagreed with them, including Gen. Eric K. Shinseki; Paul H. O'Neill, the former Treasury secretary; and Richard A. Clarke, a former counterterrorism official.

Then they attacked Iraq without provocation, killing tens of thousands of people who did us no harm and posed us no danger.

Finally, in violation of signed treaties and contrary to long-held values, they besmirched the moral authority of our country by approving, justifying and carrying out torture.

Not since the days of Richard M. Nixon has the White House been in the hands of such dishonorable people.
THE INFAMY

We’re talking impeachable crimes, here. We’re talking high crimes and misdemeanors. We’re talking about conspiracy and murder. We’re talking about war crimes and crimes against humanity. We’re talking about deception and manipulation. We have the proof and we know whodunit. We even have public confessions but the American news media is so obviously complicit in the crimes and coverups that people don’t even worry about confessing in public any more! And there is nothing at all we can do about it.

We have all the evidence we need to indict the criminals. We even have the smoking gun. In fact, we have a whole slew of smoking guns. We have mounds of testimony and videos, memos and public statements. We have lines of witnesses and experts, photos and newsreels. We have everything we need to charge those at the helm of our government with some of the most heinous acts in our nation’s history. And yet, they all will get off scot-free, without facing a single charge against them.

Despite the mounds of damning evidence, no one in any official capacity has dared to point a finger of guilt against George Bush, Dick Cheney, or anyone else in their cadre of criminal collaborators. The few voices that dared to question the legality of administrative policies during the past four years have been muted or rendered impotent. Those who have outlined a clear case for impeachment have been ignored at best, and ridiculed at worst.

And the vile criminals who comprise the American news media, in their unabashed complicity, have refused to publicize the concerns of those who understand the crimes that have been committed. In their need to please their corporate masters and advertisers, the media have joined those who jeer at dissenters and call ‘conspiracy theorists.’

In no other time have criminals at the very highest levels of the American government been allowed to get away with such transgressions. At no other time has evidence of guilt been so blatantly ignored and unreported by the media. And at no other time in recent history, have the crimes of an American president been so defended, rationalized and justified.

Answer 1

People are starting to figure it out. This administration, which is really a bunch of cronies that date back 30+ years, is starting to fall apart.

Answer 2

politicians can not be prosecuted for offical acts. another country other than ours would have to open a world court of crimes against humanity.

Bush is not being prosecuted for what he did because they all did it, and none of them under oath lied.

Lying to the American people otherwise is not against the law from politicians, they've been doing it forever.

I don't know any American who says our President and Congress represents America, they represent Mexico. We did not send them there with the authority to do that.

On what might interest you is that Iraq officially stated than Iran has the right to nuclear fuel. That makes me think who's really controlling the strings there.

I have to tell you I will never forget the Iraqi's that thanked Bush unendingly going in. Seems to me their new government now is only as strong as our presence.

Don't forget, I remember Bush being lied to also. And Saddam on purpose making the world believe he had tons of WMD and not afriad to use them - for the only purpose of keeping Iran attacking again. He should've come clean and told the inspectors instead of holding them as trucks took off before they could inspect.

But the bottom line why Bush knew before he was elected why we were going in is this - they went off the dollar and on the Euro for oil, and that upset him for the effect it would have at home.

So yes, not only for the other reasons, oil was for it too.

Too bad Mexico doesn't have any. Then he'd keep them out.

Answer 3

I've been saying since the day this war started that Bush needed to be put on trial for war crimes. And impeached. I know I'm not the only person in this world that believes it. Now, there's this letter of someone else that does too.

Answer 4

Gee, I wish I had cut and pasted some individual's opinion and put it on the post.

If we are going to do president bashing, put Clinton back on the stage. He is such an idiot that he doesn't know the meaning of "what is, is".

This is not meant to be a defense letter of Bush, but may be you should have put your question under another heading. Where's the immigration question?

Answer 5

Don't be a queer and come on the Internet to play Mr. politician. Really find something better to do in your life than to sit around pouting about how bad your president is. The man is obviously smarter than you or I to be in the position he's in. Could you do better? Really? People like you are a disgrace to the nation. Go live in Iran and strap up with them.

Answer 6

even although Bush has no longer committed any conflict crimes, i visit respond to the hypothetical question besides: A President ought to probable pardon himself of any *alleged* crimes, even though it ought to no longer end an impeachment/conviction procedure. the less demanding way for a President to attempt this with out having the advent of constitutional conflict, will be to quickly relieve himself of accountability and performance Cheney take the region of President who would then situation the pardon. The President can quickly relive himself of accountability for any reason by ability of merely writing a letter to Congress informing them he will be unable to finish his responsibilities as President for a not straight forward and quickly era of time. at the same time as a vp quickly develop into President, he has all a similar powers of the President.

Answer 7

I am not a Bush fan--but sorry Bush would have to stand in line--Senate would be first (not all-most) they have picked my pocket with their bills and their Amnesty bill is the worst slap in the face we could ask for. All of them need to be deported.

Answer 8

Better to keep you mouth closed and be thought intelligent than open it and remove all doubt. Oops, you got this advice too late.

Answer 9

Is there anything about immigration in there at all? I must admit my eyes began to glaze over as I scanned it, but I didn't see anything on-topic.

Answer 10

Didn't we try to impeach Clinton too?
