Second Intelligence missing an "N" in title

[Thanks. I let the spelling correctors know-Sitemonitor]

Oil, contracts for Haliburton and other cronies. ...maybe they won't notice.

Nobody died when Clinton lied.

Impeach.
Indict.
Imprision.

The first and second charges of the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials were these:

Indictments

Count One: Conspiracy to Wage Aggressive War
This count helped address the crimes committed before the war began, showing a plan to commit crimes during the war.

Count Two: Waging Aggressive War, or "Crimes Against Peace"

Including “the planning, preparation, initiation, and waging of wars of aggression, which were also wars in violation of international treaties, agreements, and assurances.”

BushCo committed aggressive war.

Bush must stand trial.

Look . . . we KNOW the fuckers lied. We've known it for YEARS. We know they continue to lie. But what is the real crime here? The real crime is that the Democrats do absolutely NOTHING about it. There are just some times when people do something so bad that you have to stand up regardless of the consequences. this is one of those times and all pelosi did was crawl under the table. The Dems are worse for letting this go on and on and on and on and on. The are accessories after the fact . . . and in law that makes you just as guilty as the principle

I'll catch news about this from the unbiased PBS - McNeill/Lehrer Report where they honestly report the news

[It hasn't been 'McNeil/Lehrer' since 1995, when Robin (Robert) McNeil left the show. I guess you don't get a chance to watch that often-Sitemonitor]

Would somebody please give this man a blowjob so he can be impeached?

I'm currently reading Vincent Bugliosi's new book. His case for trying Bushco for murder and war crimes is very compelling. I shope Keith has Bugliosi as a guest soon.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise

Bush was lying during he 2000 debates.

Thank you for publishing this. The story has gone virtually unnoticed or unreported in the media. Bush is caught outright lying and it is just another day.

this makes iraq look like mass murder.

"I'm going to have a humble foreign policy"

Right!

It's good to know that, after all this divisive Clinton/Obama mishigas, we can still all get together and hate us some Bush! :)

I hope that Pat Roberts gets a challenger soon...

It's great to see this stuff coming out now. Perfect timing ... makes me very hopeful. Keep peeling back the layers of this mouldy onion and maybe we'll reach the rotten core just before people cast their ballots.

The Repubs are so bankrupt! Why on earth should anyone in their right mind vote for them. And there aren't enough CEOs to win them any elections. Frankly anyone complicit with this outrage should be forced from ever holding any office again. They they should spend the rest of their lives paying penance to the brave young men and women who lost their lives and were mutilated by their mistake and subsequent cover-up.

In 2009, Bush is going to come out with a book explaining that his presidency was an elaborate piece of conceptual art.

Old news. So many people have known this. But where do these revelations get us? Nowhere. No one in this Administration has been touched, and I doubt they ever will be.

As Frank Costanza would say, "Serenity Now!"

It's a shame that Bush couldn't have studied a little history before assuming office. Whatever happened to Teddy Roosevelt's admonition to :"Talk softly and carry a big stick". The modern Bush paradigm seems to be: "Don't talk except to lie and hit everything in sight."

Thank you, Keith Olbermann, for calling a lie a lie. It's amazing how many euphemisms the media can come up with to avoid using the word lie.

impeach, convict then its off to the world court for war crimes and [Deleted-Sitemonitor]

Imagine my shock!

I did not need any politicians to tell me that the Bush Administrations were liars. I was against the invasion in Iraq for the real reason: We had given Saddam those weapons to fight the Iranian who had replaced an American favorite The Shah.
He was a bad leader, but he was ours and had to be retained at all cost. I have seen that Reagan contact Iran before the election to make sure that they would not deal with Jimmy Carter who was the president for re-election. Any one who remembered the 80’s, Reagan’s era has good time should have their head exam. They were the worst.
The joke in Europe was; where I grow up, that South America was changing leader every year! But I learned that if they did not play ball with our policies, their leaders would be eliminated. See the book about an Economic Hit Man. (Democracy Now)
I am for all participant of the Bush administration to be indicted for war crime against humanity.

Still waiting for this story to appear on the Fox News or Drudge web sites.

Believe it or not, even at a snails pace, this begins to set the stage for impeachment. By establishing the series of offenses, including lying to congress, abuse of power, treason, etc. whether or not peloser has the nads, this process, snails pace and all, can lead to impeachment of every member of the WH involved and all complicit staff(Liibby?), Tenet, Powell, Rice, et al, and possibly members of the press who knowingly foisted these lies when there was no evidence for the stories they committed their enterprises to print and publish.
If no indictments for the press, then they should certainly be made to testify as to the lies they were told by the WH. I can see russert, judy miller, wolf blitzer and the rest at the mike, explaining to America why they LIED!

oh if they only would have called me I could have told them it was all a lie to have a war for profits. nationalism and patriotism and revenge can overwhelm the rational mind.

but Americans wanted to kick some butts Muslim butts any Muslim behind for 9/11.

now they pay the price for their desire for their Texas style shoot them first bully mentality but yet they blame their politicians rather than look into a mirror.

America the super power is about to get its ass kicked again like it did in Vietnam. if a country does not learn its lesson the first time karma brings the opportunity to learn right back to ya.

Americans did not ask for forgiveness for the one million Vietnamese they killed in that illegal war so they continue to suffer with treasure and deaths and inner chaos from this latest illegal war.

but hey life is easy kind of if you live in denial. wake up Americans you need to change more than just your politicians.

once you Americans understand that you are a country of wars for profits maybe just maybe you will move beyond blame and accept responsibility for your war mongering and the tremendous suffering you have caused in the world.

it will happen like it did in germany and japan karma demands it.

I think it's time to oust 'em all. The '06 lot of democrats for the most part are all horseshit pussies.
Nancy and Harry are worthless! Screw holding their feet to the fire, I say grab em by the ankle and toss em into the fire!
Impaeach em all and hold them accountable down to the last fucking enabler!
Maybe it's time for the electorate to raise some hell and purge these fuckers in order to send a message to the future leaders.
You were elected to serve the public and defend the constitution. Now do your fucking job.
IMPEACH!!!

tr @ 24:

It does look that way. If your wife or daughter or son or mother, was killed by "shock and awe" how would you feel? But it's nothing personal. They just want your oil.

John @ 11:

Unbelieveable that these criminals will get off scott free and that there will be NO accountability , if this was any other country but the high and mighty USA Bush and company would be facing execution and rightly so .

Extremely well said. I would also add that what Congress and the Democrats have also ignored are the Downing Street Minutes, which revealed that the U.S. was hell bent on going to war against Iraq in the summer of 2002. That alone should have been grounds for impeachment but still Congress and the Democrats failed to act. It is now wonder that people, turned off by the ineptness of the Democrats, are turning to a third party in 2008.

I wish we could impeach them all. But it is up the all of us to get rit of all old repugs in congress, to tell them that they will not again be able to get new law made by the Pharma, energy CO!
Lets get all republicans out

calgarylady @ 30:

Which is probably one of the real reasons Pelosi uttered her famous words about taking impeachment off the table. Keep Bush in office and then begin to pull all of this out as we get closer to the 2008 elections. All of this will pile up and it will be hard for all except the most fervent 25%'ers to ignore.

I disagree with Ms. Pelosi though because the only way this country can begin to function again is if these criminals are either impeached or put to trial. There is no way they can get away with all they've done and just walk away with all the loot. Hell there are people sitting in jail that have done just 1% of what these people have done and Bush and his gang just walk away with only a tarnished legacy? Hundreds of millions of dollars and just a tarnished legacy, if it weren't for the millions dead I'd say sign me up but then again I have a consious and at least one honest bone in my body.

With all that is now confirmed (we all knew it before, confirmed is another thing altogether) impeachment isn't enough. A lot of people need to go to prison and for a very long time.

One last thing, it's time we stop saying that BushCo didn't tell the truth especially you Senator Rockefeller. Bush LIED and it needs to be said. LIED gives a much stronger jolt to the brain and if we begin to use we might actually begin to get through to people. The president of this country LIED to take us to war. A war that has cost up billions of dollars, over 4000 military lives, 10's of thousand military members who are physically and mentally crippled, and millions of Iraqi's dead and misplaced. This country has committed genocide on a country over LIES told by its president and senior government officials.

Yes, George Bush is a LIER and it needs to be said loudly and repeated as often as necessary until everyone understands it. It needs to be repeated and it needs to be linked as often as possible to John McCain so he can quietly in to the night with nary a whimper.

lipstickhottie @ 57:

To the poster directly above me....I have thought about this often. I can't help but wonder if the whole "impeach Bill" wasn't just an attemp to trivialize and "dirty up" the impeachment process. This made the general populace very hesitant to call for impeachmentit and congress scared shitless to implement it. After all, certainly they already knew the dirt on Bill, they began investigating him the moment he entered the race if not before. So, maybe they knew there was nothing there, but they weakened impeachment as a process. Maybe THAT was the real goal.

OK tinfoil hat off, maybe.......

You know I used to rarely put any stock in conspiracy theories until this gang came to power. After what they've pulled I put nothing past them either in the past, the present, or the future. I won't be one bit surprised if they attack Iran or create some kind of problem that they have to inact martial law and suspend the elections. If you would say I would think this even just a year ago I would have said you were crazy but not anymore.

I don't trust any of them as far as I could throw them so pass me a tinfoil hat as well. It's going to be a long 6 months until they're hopefully gone.

Someone usually comes along right about now to remind us of this:

The House of Representatives votes to impeach, and the Senate holds the trial. Conviction requires a 2/3 majority, which the Dems don't have. Imagine the fun we'd have if we actually got around to the discovery phase, and the Senate called witnesses, and all manner of lies and indiscretions came to light. Everything--the stolen elections, the media complicity, the no-bid contracts--it was all exposed on C-Span, and the nightly news. "Good God!" we'd scream, "These people are criminals!"

Then they'd vote, and fall short of the 2/3 majority. And the media would say "They must be innocent, if they were found not guilty..."

I say it's much more effective (for the time being) to vote the scoundrels out. We'll get it sorted out eventually, and maybe we'll even see Bush stand trial at the Hague.

Tommy,
We could have been conducting hearings for over a year now. The Republicans are running scared. The Senate picture could look very different now if the Bush criminals hadn't been protected by their Democratic collaborators. Judging from your phrasing (and you're right, it was about time someone mentioned this), I think we agree.

Where I disagree is that "voting them out and then worrying about it later" is a workable solution. I've predicted blanket pardons on Bushes way out, and they seem ever more likely. Of course, all the pardons will be given in the name freedom and protecting the "patriots" from frivolous litigation.

yes...we could have been conducting hearings. We could have begun in Jan. '07. But we'd never have gotten a 2/3 majority, and still won't. It's quite likely that Bush and his cronies will never stand trial--in America.

But it's not out of the realm of possibility that we'd turn on the nightly news someday to see Bush de-plane in a foreign country, only to be surrounded by the local militia, and carted off to prison.

And it would be our turn to say "so?"

So, in that case, does the Secret Service turn into an honor guard? Do they surround Bush as he breaks big rocks into little rocks for fifteen years? Well, we can hope.

I never thought I'd even think that of a U.S. president. We've fallen very far.

Pelosi needs to be impeached so Americans can get on with making justice on the war criminals.

Ruthless People @ 14:

Would somebody please give this man a blowjob so he can be impeached?

Like his 'private time' with Jeff Gannon wasn't enough?

karl @ 17:

Matt in Texas @ 9:

OK, Pelosi, can we impeach him NOW????? Jesus Christ, Congress, just how much more must this guy get away with before you get some balls and fulfill your DUTY???

i'm with you more than you know........but let's get a democrat in office and watch for more confessions to come out

My instincts tell me there will be no accountability. Whatever the reasons--threats, blackmail, deals, double deals, who knows. Pelosi's stand is the clue. This country is doomed.

Tommy Hussein @ 79:

The Republicans were able to impeach Clinton in the House of Representatives because they had the votes, regardless of the public opinion polls. They fell short of convicting in the Senate, because they didn't have the votes--barely.

The Republicans would never vote to convict Bush of anything, ever. Impeachment would ultimately fail, and then we'd be really pissed and indignant. Yes, even more so than we are now.

Bush will get his due. Karma is a bitch, and revenge is a dish that's best served cold...

Bush has never received his due. From academic failure at Yale then Harvard, to Arbusto, to the Texas Rangers, to the Governor of Texas, to the Presidency, Bush's life has been one prestigious appointment after another, failing miserably at each one.

Karma may be a bitch, but it may also be a myth. Revenge is certainly best served cold, but I want justice - and justice delayed is justice denied.

By waiting until election season, the Dems have opened themselves up to accusations of election year posturing. Why wasn't this done immediately after the 2006 elections? We know why -- because they see this as a way to damage the Republican party, rather than fact-finding.

BushCo belongs behind bars -- yet Rockefeller said he was not supporting criminal investigations. Why? Oh, because there is too much else to do in the Senate, and such an investigation would take up too much of their schedule. SO F'N WHAT?! 4000 of our finest young men and women are dead. Perhaps as many as a million Iraqis are dead. If Bush is criminally culpable, then who the hell cares about other legislative business? This is far more important than ANYTHING else they have on their slate.

Casus B-Lie...
