  • BUSH’S IMPEACHABLE OFFENCES
    5 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
    6 comments

    Compiled by "Son of a Bush" 1) The now famous Downing Street Memo, along with the testimony of former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neil constitute direct evidence of a decision by Bush to invade a sovereign foreign nation on entirely specious grounds.
    2) The decision to deploy chemical weapons in Fallujah came from Rumsfeld who no doubt covered his ass by receiving assent from Bush to use these banned weapons
    3) The decision by Bush to dig up dirt on UN diplomats when the General Assembly (…)

    Sher Zieve - The Conservative Voice June 3, 2005
    We carry the following report but caution against taking it at face value. It is still unconfirmed and we suspect that it may be disinformation intended to discredit those media outlets, like this one, that carry it. One way or the other, we should know in the next few days. Ed.
    John Kerry announced Thursday that he intends to present Congress with The Downing Street Memo, reported by the London Times 1 May 2005. As reported by NewsMax, (…)

  • War in Iraq has gone too far

    Anyone honestly believe one can impeach and convict a sitting Republican President with the Senate in the hands of the Republican party? Let’s be realistic here: If there was gross misuse of the available intelligence on Iraq by the executive branch of the government, then there was attendant gross negligence on the part of the legislative branch of the government not to verify the faulty intellligence. They couldn’t impeach and convict Bush if they wanted to because their own job (…)

    The Bush Administration Was For Amnesty International Before It Was Against It
    Tonight, Vice President Cheney will appear on CNN’s Larry King Live and reportedly condemn a recent Amnesty International report that faults the U.S. for its treatment of detainees in the war on terror. Cheney has said:
    For Amnesty International to suggest that somehow the United States is a violator of human rights, I frankly just don’t take them seriously.
    Other Administration officials have similarly (…)

    USA: Response to President Bush
    President Bush again failed to address longstanding concerns regarding US detention policies and practices in the context of the "war on terror", Amnesty International said in response to his comments today.
    At Guantánamo, the US has operated an isolated prison camp in which people are confined arbitrarily, held virtually incommunicado, without charge, trial or access to due process. (…)

  • Downing Street Minutes - Throw your congresscritter a life-saver

    STRATEGY SESSION: for when you call your Congressperson/Senator, who may have voted for the IWR, and, having done so, may be too fearful or ashamed to admit he or she made a mistake... MAYBE all they’re looking for is a graceful way out...
    Please consider planting this seed.
    Please hear me out -
    ALL they have to say is TEN WORDS: "Because I TRUSTED my president. And he LIED to me."
    Two little sentences. Five words per sentence. That’s ALL any of them have to say, if they voted for (…)

  • WHY RUMSFELD SHOULD GO
    4 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    By William Fisher
    Let’s give Donald Rumsfeld the benefit of the doubt. He’s not a war criminal. He never wrote any memo authorizing specific techniques for abusing prisoners. He doesn’t believe in abusing people. He’s an amusing guy. He used to be a media superstar in the Bush family firmament. The President called him the best Secretary of Defense in our country’s history.
    But it’s time for him to go. And here’s why.
    One of the principal reasons the United States has a Secretary of (…)

    A RUEFUL LOOK AT GULLIBILITY
    By Peter Fredson
    There are many ways by which people learn the ways of the world. Experience is the prime teacher, but we also learn from other people. They can tell us about the hazards of life from fanged animals, smoking, taking drugs, imbibing alcohol, indulging in unprotected sex, speeding automobiles, smooth talking salespeople, scam artists, firearms, pedophiles, telemarketers, overindulging, bar room brawls, credit cards, and a host of other (…)
