The doofus who taught you diplomacy should be fired, Bush. He should sell ice cream in an ice cream truck.. He should work in sewer scrape'n the grate of old tampons.

How can anybody be expected to be patriotic under these circumstances? "Well whats the war about?" "Can't tell ya." "Are we fighting fer freedom?" "Quit asking so many stupid questions." "Should I be proud of what I'm doing?" "Yer a god damned trouble maker!"

Everybody's jump'n ship.. write'n books.

The whole point of having a democracy.. THE WHOLE POINT! Is to ban fraternity.. and make civic the notion that we're all brothers and sisters the same! That there is no need for private organisation. That we're the "organisation of the United States"!

Yet these.. weird.. introverted.. fat.. overly psychobabbly.. corporate white toothed weirdos took over some time, a long time ago. And not only hijacked out constitution, but our military into.. some kindofa weird bodyguard outfit.

Wars fought.. we ain't even gotta right no more to know about.

In the good old days, America had her elections and.. you had a presidential winner? And a presidential loser. The winner was president, and the loser was vice president. Nowadays its a sick conspiracy ridden buddy club.

STAY THE COURSE VOTE REPUBLICAN! GIVE OUR TROOPS LIVES FOR ISRAEL!

According to a Washington Post/ABC News poll conducted in June, 52 percent of Americans now believe the President deliberately distorted intelligence to make a case for war. In an Ipsos Public Affairs poll, commissioned by AfterDowningStreet.org and completed October 9, 50 percent said that if Bush lied about his reasons for going to war Congress should consider impeaching him. The President's deceit is not only an abuse of power; it is a federal crime. Specifically, it is a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371, which prohibits conspiracies to defraud the United States.

I remember reading somewhere that Bush & Co had arranged to have IMMUNITY from prosecution for WAR CRIMES.

It is too complicated to discuss in this forum, but you are correct in your basic assertion.

From a Wikipedia article (which appears to be accurate):

"President Bill Clinton signed the statute in 2000, but stated that he did not intend to request its ratification until several changes were made. On May 6, 2002, the Bush Administration informed the United Nations Secretary-General that "the United States does not intend to become a party to the treaty. Accordingly, the United States has no legal obligations arising from its signature on December 31, 2000."

Source: Wikipedia (more easily read than the White House link)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome_Statute_of_the_International_Criminal_Court

Additional White House (Bush administration) source: (long, technical reading)

http://www.state.gov/t/us/rm/15158.htm

However, no nation is exempt from international law. The only thing protecting the Bush administration from prosecution by the ICC is the economic and military power of the US.

And, no one, including the president, is exempt from prosecution under US law. War crimes are a criminal offense under the US Code (federal law).

And so we are left with a man unable to bridge the void, the offer any hope, like a solitary figure gazing far out to sea, watching, as the ship sinks slowly beneath stormy skies.

We are in deep *****.

Stop scaring me neocon!

One thing you touched upon which glares in the night is that Bush is the antithesis of what we americans most admire;

- the ability to find pratical solutions
- the abilitiy to admit shortcomings and offer change

Bush fails on both counts.

[krg12171936]

Now that "IDIOT BUSH" vetoed the House passed bill
it's time to "IMPEACH" that "IDIOT".

"What does it take for someone to understand what Commander-in Chief means?"

To lead and direct the armed forces in their tasks of accomplishing the will of Congress.

Accomplishing the will of Congress.

Nothing more. Nothing less.

The poor boy, george III, never had a mission his whole life until he became his party's MANCHURIAN PRESIDENT.

The intellectual and moral foundation required of a president sorely lacks in this man.

Between his words and actions there is a void;

Between his virtual vision of the world and reality, there is a void;

Between his character and the change demanded from him, there is a void;

And so we are left with a man unable to bridge the void, the offer any hope, like a solitary figure gazing far out to sea, watching, as the ship sinks slowly beneath stormy skies.

We are in deep *****.
