Lars008,,,,, Do you really want to know what Bush has done to this once great country of ours ??? ---- Watch the 1st hour of "Shindler's List"

[randalds]

Lars008,,,, You fail to mention the Isreal Terrorist attack on the USS Liberty & how many Americans they killed. ---- ENLIST Lars, they've lowered the standards again

Maybe they haven't lowered them to the point where they accept people with a yellow belly or who are sacred without a night light. After all mudrose still posts here and those are the reasons he hasn't joined yet. The Army needs recruits, true, but they still haven't hit the point where they want cowards to enlist.

By the way Lars,, the C.O. of the USS Cole was found guilty of Dereliction of Duty in the incident.

I agree. I always thought he was a worthless POS, even before he became president. Hell even before he became the governor of Texas. And right after 9-11 when his popularity was supposedly close to 90%. Guess who was a loud and proud member of the remaining 10%? Moi! I never liked the punk, still don't and doubt if I ever will. Just like I opposed the war in Iraq from the moment he started to push it. I am proud to say I never supported it and still don't.

[gracchus1]

True, it does make good political theatre for the Dimocrats and Repugnicans. What is that? A third party candidate? Wow, what a novel idea!

[elgraz]

I'M SO CONFUSED. HELP ME ALLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stevex47]

This is truly like watching lemmings jump off the cliff.

Stay the course. Follow Limbaugh. Dont you dare change that channel.

Thank You.

[lars008-2009]

are the demonic-rats against the constitution???

hahahahaha

good thing our founding fathers set our country up with 3 separate but EQUAL branches of government...

what part of 3 separate but EQUAL branches of government don't you understand skippy...

it's not congress runs everything...

it works... and it makes for good theater...

hahahahaha

[gracchus1]

Guilty! Oh, sorry, this is just a hearing.

[emtak1]

Point me too the Bastille. I don't have immunity or executive privilege but I have strong arms that will tear its walls down.

[j-whitman]

Maybe Bush thinks this is what Jesus would to --- Avoid responsiblity, honor, truth & interfer with government witnesses .

[likeitis5050]

Stand firm, George. Don't you be intimidated by any one threatening to make you tell the truth. You're the best thing to happen to the Democratic Party since DNA testing went global. Of course you ARE making an absolute a..s..s out of yourself, but I call that entertainment. Say it with me, George..'LAWS? I don't need no stinkin' laws!'

[forthepeopl1]

I HOPE EVERY AMERICAN AND ALL OUR ELECTED ARE GOING TO READ THIS, AND SEE THAT THIS ADMINASTRATION JUST KEEPS LAUGHING IN OUR FACES.WHILE THOUSANDS OF OUR TROOPS STILL DIE.
Last December, when Bush rebuffed a bipartisan exit strategy presented by the Iraq Study Group, he said he would leave the decision to withdraw from Iraq to his successor.

That question is "not going to face this government," Bush said, chuckling slightly at a news conference with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, "because we made up our mind. We've made that part clear. It'll face future governments. There will be future opportunities for people to say, 'Well, it's not worth it. Let's just retreat.' "

Since then, nearly 700 more American soldiers have died in a war that has now lasted more than four years, lost the lives of more than 3,600 U.S. troops, cost $10 billion a month -- and cost Republicans control of the House and Senate.

TIME FOR A AMERICAN REVOLUTION TO CHANGE OUR GOVERMENT AND PUT AMERICANS FIRST INSTEAD OF OTHER PLACES IN THE WORLD.

CONGRESS DOEN'T CARE ABOUT THE AVERAGE AMERICAN THAT IS JUST MAKEING IT BY.

IT IS TIME FOR ALL AMERICANS TO STAND UP AND PROTECT OUR CONSTITUTION AND OUR COUNTRY.

WE KNOW CONGRESS WONT...............THEY DONT CARE ABOUT OUR TROOPS BEING MURDERD BY THIS ADMINASTRATION

[pepperp1]

He can not pardon them if they are not charged unitl jan 09 Congress can drag it out.

Lars008 quoted Clinton, " 'One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line.' - President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998"
---
And Clinton did exactly that. Else, where are the WMDs Bush claims were there when he campaigned for "pre-emptive" invasion?

Your argument disingenuously omits the only important difference between Clinton and Bush-- Clinton took active measures against Saddam which kept him off balance, but without demanding the UN sponsor an invasion or staging one unilaterally, as did Bush.

Had the Clinton-type measures not worked so well-- and worked during even the years 2001-2003 of the Bush term-- then Bush would have found the WMDs he claimed Saddam had, some five years after Clinton's speech.

[nmsuip]

Even if they are ultimately held in contempt, they'll all skate like Scooter at Dubya's "pardon party" when he leaves office. Nonetheless, it will set the stage for the Republicans who have to run next year. Keep up the good work George!

Good post by IOWEIGN---

Cheney says he is not in the Executive Branch so..

Tuesday, July 10, 2007 7:15 PM EDT

By ANDREW TAYLOR

WASHINGTON (AP) 14 Senate Democrats moved Tuesday to cut off funding for Vice President (Diick) Cheney's office in a continuing battle over whether he must comply with national security disclosure rules.
A Senate appropriations panel chaired by Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., refused to fund $4.8 million in the vice president's budget until Cheney's office complies with parts of an executive order governing its handling of classified information.
At issue is a requirement that executive branch offices provide data on how much material they classify and declassify. That information is to be provided to the Information Security Oversight Office at The National Archives.
Cheney's office, with backing from the White House, argues that the offices of the president and vice president are exempt from the order because they are not executive branch "agencies."
Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, said Cheney's office was flouting requirements that it comply with the reporting requirements on classified information.
"Neither Mr. Cheney or his staff is above the law or the Constitution," Durbin said. "For the vice president to believe that he has no responsibility to meet this requirement of the law is a dereliction of duty."

Look these righties have been so traumatized by Clintons blow jobs, Sandy Berger pants, Libby securing of the Rich pardon, and Rosie O%u2019Donnell weight that they have not the cerebral capacity to engage in any assessment of good governance, ignore them, Bush needs his few sycophants to prance for and they sure will not strain each others ability to think, match made in heaven go have a beer together.
