Here's the scoop for the right wingers: In 1962 American spy planes took actual photographs of armed nuclear missiles stationed 90 miles from the coast of the great state of Florida. Guess where they were aimed. Without the loss of a single life, the island hell with a ruthless dictator and the support of a superpower, with nuclear weapons and missiles on a par with us; backed down. Compare that leadership to 2003. A president invades a third world dictatorship thousands of miles away, thinking that they have WMD. With much more advanced technology this son of a president is mistaken. He is duped. Even if there were WMD, so what? Where is the capability to deliver them thousands of miles? When did we become such fearful cowards that we have to invade a country based on such sloppy intelligence?The threat in Iraq, was minuscule compared to threats we've defeated in the past without a bullet being fired. What ever happened to having balls enough to not let fear rule your actions? But, the right wingers are happy because they got everything they voted for: 2500 lost soldiers, thousands of amputees, 300 Billion plus deficits, global warming, inept Federal Agencies like FEMA, a president on vacation while an American city is destroyed, on and on and on. They have it all - Congress, The Supreme Court and the President. Fellow liberals let them have their fun, sleep with a clear conscious for we are not to blame!

You can be as angry as you want to be about the war, that's your choice. The New York Times was absolutely out of line for jeopardizing National Security. As far as trying President Bush for treason, there are no grounds. Your liberalism just doesn't count here. Sorry

Bush is faking it. They gave the same story to the Wall Street Journal that they gave to the New York Times. They told Wall Street to print it and told the New York times not too. The difference is that they are attempting to discredit the New York Times. Which is a violation of the first amendment. Why did our founding fathers see fit to protect the press? Because our form of government requires that the people be informed so that they can base their decisions on facts and principles and not personalities.

Clinton was impeached for lying about an indescretion with an employee. GWB took a solemn oath twice to look after the interests of the American people to the best of his ability.
Clearly he has no ability OR he has chosen the richest 1% of the population as the constituency to which he made this oath. Soon there will be as many dead American soldiers in Iraq as souls lost on 9/11. If we include the Brits, contractors, and those killed in Afghanistan, the number of dead has likely exceeded the 9/11 toll. If we include Iraqis, this number has been exceeded several times. Death begets death and the "Decider in Chief" remains UNIMPEACHED.
IT SHOCKS ME THAT NO ONE HAS CALLED FOR HIS IMPEACHMENT!!!

Scorpion what planet do you live on. WWII????? Germany declared war on us right after we were bombed. The NYT continues to remind us that the president is trampling all over freedom.
It's feeble minded conservative pukes like you that would love to see facists take over this country.
If you're going to call somebody stupid....get some facts straight. And don't call someone a loser for posting on yahoo while you're doing it yourself.
When the dems take over everything in two years...i hope they raise your taxes first. And spend the money on abortions and education and healthcare and welfare and all of the social programs you hate.
Get a life.

Yes some of us are, Yes he should be tried for treason and his crimes against humanity, His punishment should be life imprisonment at a "hard time" facility like Pelican Bay or San Quentin.

Please get back to me when you show your outrage at the elective war that Clinton took us into in the Balkans, or the elective war that Eisenhower took us into in Korea, or the elective war that Kennedy took us into in Vietnam, or the elective war that FDR took us into in Europe (the Japanese were the ones that hit us, remember, so our war should only have been in the Pacific).
I will actually be outraged that thanks to the NYT, some of our boys and girls will lose their lives, but pathetic worms like you get to live worthless lives posting on Yahoo.
Oh, the mind of a feeble liberal, it is truly a pathetic thing to behold.

The NY times put people in jeopardy for the sake of "breaking news"...it was a ridiculous and unethical thing to do.
Please review the political process....Congress have to vote for the war.....and I certainly wouldn't call it elective.
And treason....for what?
People who are after him at whatever cost are the ones who should be punished for consistently trying to undermine his efforts to protect you....
