Is it possible I have actually hit the nail on the head this time?

Question

I have posted four questions in two days about which of George W. Bush's many crimes will eventually lead to his impeachment.

Then I provide just a partial listing of those crimes. Real, live, actual CRIMES that bush has committed during his reign of terror.

Each time the question gets deleted.

I think I'm on to something here!


1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; carrying out a massive assault on and occupation of Iraq, a country that was not threatening the United States, resulting in the death and maiming of hundereds of thousands of Iraqis, and thousands of U.S. G.I.s.

2) Lying to the people of the U.S., to Congress, and to the U.N., providing false and deceptive rationales for war.

3) Authorizing, ordering and condoning direct attacks on civilians, civilian facilities and locations where civilian casualties were unavoidable.

4) Instituting a secret and illegal wiretapping and spying operation against the people of the United States through the National Security Agency.

5) Threatening the independence and sovereignty of Iraq by belligerently changing its government by force and assaulting Iraq in a war of aggression.

6) Authorizing, ordering and condoning assassinations, summary executions, kidnaping, secret and other illegal detentions of individuals, torture and physical and psychological coercion of prisoners to obtain false statements concerning acts and intentions on governments and individuals and violating within the United States, and by authorizing U.S. forces and agents elsewhere, the rights of individuals under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

7) Making, ordering and condoning false statements and propaganda about the conduct of foreign governments and individuals and acts by U.S. government personnel; manipulating the media and foreign governments with false information; concealing information vital to public discussion and informed judgment concerning acts, intentions and possession, or efforts to obtain weapons of mass destruction in order to falsely create a climate of fear and destroy opposition to U.S. wars of aggression and first strike attacks.

8) Violations and subversions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, both a part of the "Supreme Law of the land" under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Constitution, in an attempt to commit with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes in wars and threats of aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq and others and usurping powers of the United Nations and the peoples of its nations by bribery,

, coercion and other corrupt acts and by rejecting treaties, committing treaty violations, and frustrating compliance with treaties in order to destroy any means by which international law and institutions can prevent, affect, or adjudicate the exercise of U.S. military and economic power against the international community.

9) Acting to strip United States citizens of their constitutional and human rights, ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to counsel, without charge, and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the Executive of a citizen as an "enemy combatant."

10) Ordering indefinite detention of non-citizens in the United States and elsewhere, and without charge, at the discretionary designation of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Defense.

11) Ordering and authorizing the Attorney General to override judicial orders of release of detainees under INS jurisdiction, even where the judicial officer after full hearing determines a detainee is wrongfully held by the government.

12) Authorizing secret military tribunals and summary execution of persons who are not citizens who are designated solely at the discretion of the Executive who acts as indicting official, prosecutor and as the only avenue of appellate relief.

13) Refusing to provide public disclosure of the identities and locations of persons who have been arrested, detained and imprisoned by the U.S. government in the United States, including in response to Congressional inquiry.

14) Use of secret arrests of persons within the United States and elsewhere and denial of the right to public trials.

15) Authorizing the monitoring of confidential attorney-client privileged communications by the government, even in the absence of a court order and even where an incarcerated person has not been charged with a crime.

16) Ordering and authorizing the seizure of assets of persons in the United States, prior to hearing or trial, for lawful or innocent association with any entity that at the discretionary designation of the Executive has been deemed "terrorist."

17) Engaging in criminal neglect in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, depriving thousands of people in Louisiana, Mississippi and other Gulf States of urgently needed support, causing mass suffering and unnecessary loss of life.

18) Institutionalization of racial and religious profiling and authorization of domestic spying by federal law enforcement on persons based on their engagement in noncriminal religious and political activity.

19) Refusal to provide information and records necessary and appropriate for the constitutional right of legislative oversight of executive functions.

20) Rejecting treaties protective of peace and human rights and abrogation of the obligations of the United States under, and withdrawal from, international treaties and obligations without consent of the legislative branch, and including termination of the ABM treaty between the United States and Russia, and rescission of the authorizing signature from the Treaty of Rome

which served as the basis for the International Criminal Court.

Note to all: I also posted a similar question in the "politics/government" section about 10 minutes ago.

IT'S ALREADY DELETED.

OH! I forgot THIS, too!

I forgot about the REMOVAL OF HABEAU CORPUS and the OUTING OF A CIA AGENT.

Uh.....that's also called "Treason."

To "Legal Aid" - I have stalkers who gang up and report my questions/answers.

If you get two reports, Yahoo deletes you.

TO SUGAR BEAR:

OhMyGod. You could not POSSIBLY be more wrong.

It is most certainly NOT my or your or anyone's responsibility to "back up my nation's leader" when that leader is breaking the law!!!

Ever hear of a guy named Hitler????

Answer 1

From what I understand, the Abuse bit is computerized and it is set to Delete any post that has two or more people complaining about it. Thus, two good buddies can gang together and Delete anything that doesn't agree with their political views. I don't think it has anything to do with the political views of the management.

On any forum, people should have a right to voice their opinions, even if the opposition doesn't agree with them. It is a basic right and what these people are doing is trying to suppress Freedom of Speech. Shame on them.

A forum should be an exchange of ideas. Unfortunately, if you post something that they do not politically agree with, they get together and it is deleted. This is the Republican way. It smacks of Dixie Chicking and Swift Boating. Suppress the opposition any way you can, with no fairness, no morality, no common sense.

We all know the facts you are posting here, and a majority of Americans are upset with them, with the War, with the atrocities, with the failure to follow our Constitution. So, deleting posts will not stop this growing concern, and I suggest these young Deleters do some research on their own, learn the facts and...if they still disagree..state them logically in their replies.

A forum without an exchange of ideas is no forum. If we aren't careful, we will be in a Deleting Contest, with each side deleting the other one's posts. It's silly. It's infantile. It shows lack of intelligence. Let's allow everyone to have their say and leave it at that.

Answer 2

With a super expensive war going on, we (OUR COUNTRY) cannot afford (neither emotionally nor financially) to go through an expensive & lenghthy investigation and impeachment procedures again. Remember how much the last one cost? The man has only a year to go, and like several people have pointed out, who wants Cheney to take over? It's better to wait untill they are all out of office & then prosecute the whole lot, including the so-called "architecht" Karl Rove.

Answer 3

First thing, & you know I am on the side of the individual here on Yahoo, this is the P&S section, your question belongs in the politics & government section! Second, Although I may not agree with all of the current policies that are in operation at this time during the Bush administration, still I am obligated to back up my nations leaders! It is wrong to use this forum as a means to dowm grade our nations president! Right or wrong, this is why people are deleteing your questions!!!

Answer 4

I think you really are onto something. You had one answerer that I usually agree with on most things, but he does not understand the reason that impeachment is necessary. It is necessary because we have to send a message to those who are corrupting our country with their power hunger and their greed, that we will not tolerate any of this any more. We have to fight back or we will lose our very souls, and the soul of this country. Many of us have already awakened, and we are trying hard to wake up more and more, to join in the fight, because it takes numbers to beat the real enemy. It is sad how many still hang on tenaciously to the status quo, and refuse to see who the real enemy is. *sm*

Answer 5

I too had once posted a controversial question about Condi Rice and her relationship with the Saudis...namely, the tanker named after her. This question was deleted.

But I am glad your question and dissertation made it through this time. Those of use who are not blinded by party loyalty know this information. Too late to do anything now. If we get rid of Bush, then we have Cheney, if we get rid of Cheney, how far down the chain of command would we have to go to get it right?

Answer 6

So Sugarbear, we aren't allowed to notice or speak when the President breaks the law?

It is beyond insanity that Clinton was impeached and Bush isn't locked up.

Answer 7

Deletion in fact depends on who reviews all you can do is challege it every time. But often they never get back after the 3rd or 4th time. By then its completely out of the system.

Answer 8

Of course you are right...anyone who pays any attention would know that what you have pointed out is factual. Problem is, we would have to impeach Cheney first (no one wants that idiot running the country for any length of time!!!)...and I believe this process is in the beginning stages. Once Cheney is out, then they can go for Bush. GW's offenses are not only impeachable, but should be considered treason against this country!!!!

Answer 9

Yes, why is it getting deleted? Is the moderator a conservative or are they afraid the Bush White House will come after Yahoo and bankrupt them?

Answer 10

Bush has a lot to answer to!
I hope this doesn't get deleted!
It's good that you haven't given up trying to get your opinion across, as a lot of people don't know those facts, and won't get to know otherwise!
Keep up the good work!
