Comments on: Baghdad Bombing Death Toll Rises

Casualty Count Reads 137 Dead From Worst Single Bomb Attack Since Start Of War

Don't worry about all this destruction. GW is cutting education and other funding in the US for both physical and intellectual infrastructure here, so that Haliburton can rebuild Iraq and Cheney can fill his blind trust to leave to his daughter and future grandchild tax-free.

The other side effect is that with more less-educated and lower income Americans in the future he and Dicko will have more young people they can send off to die to keep their heir's Humvees filled.

viewed... sorry for the typo

personally did not like what kerry did with his medals after the war. but i believe he would have made a much better president then the decider. i am proud to say i voted for him, and its a shame that fatazzes smeared the veterans record, instead of talking about how cheney and bush avoided vietnam combat.

I was one who enlisted during the Vietnam conflict, and I personally commend the man for taking a stand against an unjust war. Al Gore stated in letters to his dad that he vied the war to be unjust but offered his service anyway. These men and men like them are the true patriots... the true American heros.

%u201CSarge, don't you think there is a chance that some of those hoping for re-election might vote with the democrats? Or, better yet, a chance that their vote against impeachment might be political suicide?%u201D

dallison7, You are right of course and I may be over-optimistic, considering the growing %u201Cparty first%u201D attitude in both the democratic and republican parties but, hopefully there are members in both parties who would HONESTLY consider all evidence shown in ensuing investigations and place American interests first.

That's been the republican campaign strategy for several years now. How many people actually believe Gore said that he invented the internet? Look at the slander that Allen threw at Webb.

Nothing new here bro, as you know. The neocons believe in front page slander counting on folks not bothering to find the page 16 retraction.....

[dallison7]

there was a pbs special about john kerrys combat record in vietnam. they even went back to nam and talked his former enemies. very interesting and unbiased unlike that fatazz that wrote lies about kerry. turns out, bushs spinmasters lied about a decorated veteran. yep, a guy that avoided combat, bush, was getting others to smear a veteran, kinda just like wolfie, the israeli activist.

Bush does it every day of the week. It's called 'don't confuse me with the facts".......

Sarge, don't you think there is a chance that some of those hoping for re-election might vote with the democrats? Or, better yet, a chance that their vote against impeachment might be political suicide?
Posted by dallison7 at 12:47 PM : Feb 04, 2007

As I said earlier, avoiding Bush like a pariah during the fall campaign and voting to impeach a president from their own party are two very different things.

Bear in mind that the #1 priority for all of these professional politicians is their own political survival. Republicans who alienate the base by voting for the impeachment of Bush would be committing political suicide. Ain't happenin'....

[dallison7]

Again, sharing the sentiment, I will say that an unsuccessful impeachment trial in the Senate would be an exoneration of sorts for the administration.

I don't think the Dems want that impression to be given, nor do I.

Though, if out soldiers and marines were well led, what is happening in Iraq may not be as dismal, because our everyday grunts are second to none in fighting spirit and courage, I think, and would be a match for the enemy.

Posted by emtak1 at 12:41 PM : Feb 04, 2007

More than a match for conventional forces, emtakl, but we are not facing a standing army. We are facing guerrilas and a standing army will never defeat competent guerrilas who have the support of the local populace.

I can give you as many examples of that truth as you have time to read to prove it to you.

[exusmcsgt]

In the end he would bear the mark of impeachment either way.

Vice president Cheney would most likely either resign or find himself facing impeachment.

[emtak1]

pretty impressive. It like an Oklahoma CIty bombing, except they happen weekly or bi-weekly rather than once ever hundred years as in the United States.

The Sunnis seem more expert at bombing than the Shiite, which could mitigate the Shiite's far greater numbers in Iraq.

That the enemy has figured out a way to consistently knock down our choppers is also impressive.

I believe leadership-wise we are outclassed by our opponents in the Middle East. Though, if out soldiers and marines were well led, what is happening in Iraq may not be as dismal, because our everyday grunts are second to none in fighting spirit and courage, I think, and would be a match for the enemy.

The president would be subjected to a very serious and deep-penetrating investigation, which I seriously doubt he could survive.

Posted by jn122736


I completely agree, impeachment may be out of reach, but shining the light of day on the criminal acts of this administraton would be a very serious wake-up call for those in the middle class who have allowed themselves to be duped by the propaganda from the neocons. It would begin the healing process fou our country and send a message to the rest of the world that we the people of the United States are not as dumb as we have appeared to be.

Exusmcsgt said:
%u201CImpeachment requires a 2/3 vote in the Senate. The Dems only have a 51-49 majority and that is if you count Lieberman as a Dem.%u201D

Correct me if I am wrong:
It is the role of the House of Representatives, much like a grand jury in criminal cases, to bring impeachment charges against a sitting president.

The senate, much like the court in criminal cases, actually tries the case.

The president would be subjected to a very serious and deep-penetrating investigation, which I seriously doubt he could survive.

THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS

And our President knows a thing or two about good intentions heh heh

[exusmcsgt]

most of the distortions and lies were done by wolfowitz.
Posted by usadvisor101 at 11:56 AM : Feb 04, 2007

I do not disagree with the rest of your post but I can give you links aplenty of Bush, Cheney, Rice, even Powell all telling bald-faced lies, time after time, to America and the world.

[exusmcsgt]

Gladys_Over -

Who in their right mind can argue with his thinking regarding the invasion?

His foresight was obviously superior to Bush/Cheney/Rice/Rumsfeld/Wolfowicz.

[exusmcsgt]

nyckate-

You are right that the Repubs treated Bush like a pariah during the fall elections - refusing to have him campaign for them, refusing to be photographed with him, etc. distancing themselves from Bush is one thing, voting to impeach a president of their own party is wuite another.

Personally, I can not imagine voting for Clinton nor Pelosi.

Clinton is a common thief who tried to steal half the White House art and furnishings on the way out in 2001. Hardly presidential material in my book.

Pelosi's entire lack of common sense and judgement in recommending complete non-starters for leadership positions in the house did not show me that she is presidential material by any stretch of the imagination, either.
