P.S.Ron,
Well,If they can DIS-BAR Karl Rove's 'fall guy' Scooter Libby today,I'm sure they can pull in,the rest of the lying,cheating b******s who are FURTHER UP THE WAR-MONGERS list than Libby! They can start with 'rotten-to-the-core' Rove!

Now,Cheney,whilst on Corporate TV(ABC),has the infected gonads to SAY OUT LOUD that PUBLIC OPINION(against the military occupation and the incompetancy of the'Dark House')is of no consequence or value?????
Well,pardon my french,Monsieur 'Chain-em-up'Cheney.
BUT YOU ARE A SERVANT OF THE PUBLIC! YOU get paid by OUR money to be a Governmental PUBLIC SERVANT. We,the American public,ARE YOUR BOSS!

Not that you need the PALTRY salary that WE pay you.You are STILL raking in millions from your personal OILY enterprises,not to mention Halliburton,who do the same as Saudi does to their 'private contractors' from poor countries(including the USA).TREAT THEM LIKE SLAVES,confiscate their passports,house them in cock-roach infested 'accomodation' and subject them to HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE!

And while our boys and girls are getting killed and maimed AND THOUSANDS MORE innocent foreigners are being refugeed AND WORSE- you are floating about in the Persian f****** Gulf,with the Sultan of OMAN,fishing and talking about 'Operation O.I.L'-- Operation Iraqi 'LIBERATION'.
You remember Mr Cheney,that those public opinions that you THINK SO LITTLE OF,ALSO come from THOUSANDS of OUR American Vets,amputees,PTSD's,etc who REMAIN VOTERS and allow you your position of luxury,whilst they STRUGGLE TO GET HEALTH CARE,compensation,employment,their military bonuses and SELF-RESPECT back!

That's if they DON'T give up all together,and consume themselves in drugs and alcohol to numb the pan,memories AND CONSCIENCE,or put a bullet through their own heads,or a rope around their necks!!!!
Oh! But I forgot Cheney! You and your OILY 'buddies',are not USED TO SEEING,FEELING,going through bloody(literally)orchestrated combat- ARE YOU?

Don't you dare tell my neighbour,who is 23 years old,an amputeed Vet,married,with 2 kids,and all FOR YOUR damn,lying,perjuring OIL 'CRUSADE',that HIS opinion doesn't matter!!!!!
SHAME ON YOU ALL,you don't deserve to WALK in our Governmental halls!
In my personal opinion,you can mark up the names Cheney,Bush,Rove,Rummie,Wolfowitz,Bremmer,Kissinger,Rice etc on the same terrorist SCUM list as Bin LADEN!!!!

The most sickening part,is that the military occupation of Iraq makes Saddams regime look positively PHILANTHROPICAL!
And all so WE,can fill our gas-tanks with Exxon,Chevron,BP,Dutch-Shell 'blood-soaked' Iraqi oil? And they can occupy and divide,LONG-TERM,an ancient and PROUD part of the world!
May God,and all those innocents WE HAVE NOW harmed(including our own) in the last five years ALONE,and their grieving families, FORGIVE US for our negligence and ignorance.
We have a massive moral and ethical debt to REPAY!
The fiscal debt should be paid BACK, by the very same pirates that LOOTED IT!
I need some fresh air!

How much longer can all this corruption go on? It is clear that the "moral majority" is not really moral or among the majority! Bush boy has spent the past 8+ years catering to the rich so they can/have become richer. He has made it clear he doesn't care about the poor and poor working class in his so-called speeches. When Is the bottom going to fall out? This societal mess can't go on for much longer--no matter who gets in to be the next "president".

Yes Ron, All the more REASON why the laws MUST be changed,
and legislators(mobsters)who pass those same corrupt laws,need to be stripped of their license to practise.
Everytime they shore up the backs of Corporate mobsters they make THEMSELVES complicit in National Fraud!
It just makes me so nauseous to think back to the FARSE of the 9/11 Commission.
Bush's White(Dark)House allocated a budget of 3 million MEASLEY dollars to fund the USELESS Commission!
It would seem that Bush and his offensively WEALTHY 'oil-crew' valued each AMERICAN life lost on 9/11 at approx. 75 CENTS!!!!!!!!! Give or take a few cents here and there!
And those same war-criminals are going to walk away WITH BILLIONS--REPEAT BILLIONS!
Leaving a National DEFICIT of 3 TRILLION,4,000+++ MORE dead,and a National Reputation in tatters.
That's like seeing OUR legislators rip up OUR OWN flag! It's TREASONOUS!
And I feel like taking an EXTRA shower every time I dwell on it!
Yes! I think the laws need changing for the sake of our children and National reputation that THEY WILL have to bear!
Jeeeez! No wonder I CAN'T BEAR to watch OR HEAR Bush on the media!
I am so ashamed of Bush and his admin.-because I LOVE MY COUNTRY and it's people!
And do not want to see OUR America turn,more and more each day,into another KGB Cold war USSR!
If they can IMPEACH PERJUROUS 'LITTLE BLUE DRESS' Clinton,for nooky under the Oval desk(the LEAST OF HIS CRIMES as CIC!) I'm damn well sure that Bush,Cheney,Rummie and Rice etc should be up front and center in handcuffs ALREADY,with ALL personal assets frozen SOLID!
In fact,they can take all ther personal assets(Billions) and use it to reimburse Iraq for the devastation we created in their lives!
The other day I heard a war vet,in a store,talking about the "war"(occupation) and 9/11. He said,"Hell,if those AFGHANIS hadn't attacked us on 9/11 we wouldn't be in this mess!"
My heart sank to think that after 5 LONG YEARS of illegal occupation,death and maiming,there were some Americans who STILL didn't have their facts straight about the reality.
And then you wonder why the mobsters get away with so much AT OUR Nations expense.
These Corporate mobsters and Federal Bank execs,will be AMERICAS DOWNFALL,but only if we ignore them! SO...........?

Bush and Cheney and their ilk do not worry about impeachment. They are in charge of
Corporate armies. Who are above law.
Ron.

Very well expressed, my opinion as well. I believe the entire administration should be held accountable for the deaths of so many people and if it were up to me, they would be waterboarded, since they say it isn't torture!

As I watch the documented statements/testimonies given,in grea pain,on 'Democracy Now',by our young Iraq and Afghan veterans I wonder where the Senators,'war-pundits'and Presidential candidates are?
Shouldn't Maverick,'I don't believe in water-boarding' McCain have been in the audience to listen to the orders that were given to the 'grunts' by their 'esteemed' leaders?
Shouldn't Bush and Cheney be listening humbly in the audience,and wondering why they HAVEN'T been impeached as war-criminals?
What about the members of the 'grand' Republican,'New American Century' C.P.A., none of whom,EVER saw combat? Where were THEY?
Down at The Carlyle Group looking over their stocks and shares and war-profits?
Or maybe they were entertaining the BIN LADEN FAMILY again,just like on Sept.11th 2001 in Washington D.C.?
Perhaps they couldn't 'make it'(or take it) because they CAN'T PLAN ANYTHING(CPA)?

The auditorium at the Labour College was full of young vets testifying and bravely opening their souls and conscience.
And where were their National and Military 'Mentors'?
Maybe the auditorium was so JAMMED PACKED with the ghosts of all the Iraqis/"HAJJIS",who had died,that our BIGWIGS couldn't get IN!

I will record,or buy the documentary,of all these D/N airings of the IAVAW 'Winter Soldier'testimonies,and give it to my children to watch,then save,for THEIR children to see.So that they understand the difference between Hollywood/sound bite war,and REAL oppressive blood-soaked occupation.

Perhaps the Senate Appropriations and Judicial Committees should ALSO have a copy each,if they should SO HAPPEN to care any more.
-Did I ACTUALLY hear Dick Cheney,in Iraq this week,state that the 'mission'(4,000 DEAD Americans and COUNTLESS Iraqis/Afghanis DEAD,so far), is a "SUCCESS" ?
Or,did my shell-shocked old ears mis-hear him and he actually said....A MESS?

To all the 'Winter Soliers' who dared to brave the 'cold',Thankyou.
It takes more conscious courage to speak out,against true wrong,than it does to blindly pull a trigger of false right.
