Answer 1

Haha thats what I thought, just a smokescreen, so he can do something shady while everyones attentions are focused everywhere. I mean seriously James Baker c'mon anyone with any knowledge of the Bush family history, Oil, and Saudi family banking practices knows that this group is BS and just giving lip service to the people who oppose the war.

Answer 2

The American people made their opinions loud and clear in the mid-term elections. The Study group, while best intentioned(we hope), means absolutely nothing. Any fool can armchair quarterback afterwards. If the intelligence was wrong to begin with, what faith does one have in it now? I would like to believe everyone involved in the study group, as well as the Bush administration had the best interests of the U.S. at heart but if is all based on faulty intelligence, then to continue on the same path, makes a mockery of the entire fiasco. I will never argue Saddam needed to be brought to justice, but each young soldier that gave up their lives based on faulty intelligence deserves justice as well. Exactly what that entails, I wish I knew, it is way too far past the point of an apology, too much damage has already been done. If, in a court of law, someone is found to have deliberately misled(lied), then there are appropriate measures that can be taken but somehow, none of this matters in Iraq. To blame it all on Bush would be easy but blame doesn't stop the bloodshed. Catch 22. Damned if you leave, damned if you stay. Takes a real man to admit a mistake, will take a great Nation to do the same.

Answer 3

little doubt, no. as properly the shown actuality that Bush's dishonesty approximately WMD, and so on. might desire to be prevalent, technically that is now not a violation of the regulation (he wasn't below oath on the international, between diverse motives). yet he's in clearviolation of the style--and his oath of place of work to shield and guard the style--on severalcounts, alongside with torture of prisoners, denial of due technique and habeus courpus, and (from a felony standpoint, it rather is optimum damning) family members spying on regulation-abiding human beings without warrents. those isn't themes on which his guilt is uncertain--his own public statements volume to a confession of having violated the regulation in techniques that for particular upward thrust to the constitutional standardof "extreme crimes and misdemeanors." nevertheless, as to whether he will might prefer to be impeached, there are 2 diverse factors to keep in mind. First, in prepare, the guy who's walking the Presidency should not be Bush as properly the shown actuality that Cheney--and if Bush have been to be impeached Cheney might grow to be president. we would be worse off than we on the instantaneous are--a techniques worse. diverse than Cheney have been impeached as sturdy, there might desire to be little component in forcing Bush out of the White residing house. the alternative component is greater complication-loose. Impeachment--and the two conviction or the compelled resignations of Bush and Cheney--is a drastic step. the determination right right here is approximately what's indoors the extreme-extreme high quality long term pursuits of our usa. And on an identical time as i'm thoroughly conscious those 2 richly might prefer to be dealt with because of the fact of actuality the criminals they are, i'm now now not confident that it rather is the appropriate for our usa. and that's what subject concerns--they are beside the element.

Answer 4

Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmmmmmm !!!!!

Answer 5

The study group was established by congress. bush did not appoint it and does not want to do anything it recommends. He will be forced to go along by congress. The group says, "the emperor has no clothes", and the rest of the world agrees.

Answer 6

I certainly was not.It took them six months to do what I could have done in five minutes.Why must we always have a commitee to solve problems when common sense and hard work can do it in half the time.

Answer 7

It was quite blatant. Independant groups have been screaming for the fighting to stop. Would they ever listen to an organisation like Amnesty? Naw..

Answer 8

And another conspiracy theory has been born.

I wouldn't mention the word fool too much.

To answer your question(s) No, I wasn't and no.
