…they’re making it almost impossible to post on here…

the story is Hold Dick Cheney to Account by John Nichols

you don’t think… is there some worry in the hillary camp, that resignation and or impeachment would put someone ELSE in the
First Woman President position…eh???

just a though… surely not… … right? …

Really now. How about $70 million to investigate a 20-year old land deal. What about $15 million to investigate whether or not two people were fired from the Whitehouse Travel office for political reasons. How about $20 million spent looking into two file boxes placed in a closet instead of the storage facility across the street?

Wise up, Cynicon. Anyone with a brain and a memory going back 15 years isn’t buying your act.

Rep. Waxman, please repeat these words with us:

BREWSTER JENNINGS.
BREWSTER JENNINGS.
BREWSTER JENNINGS.
BREWSTER JENNINGS.
BREWSTER JENNINGS.
BREWSTER JENNINGS.
BREWSTER JENNINGS.
BREWSTER JENNINGS.
BREWSTER JENNINGS.
BREWSTER JENNINGS.

I’m all for investigating and prosecuting when REAL crimes have been committed. I’m opposed to show trials that waste taxpayer money.

This whole prosecution was a joke. Now to have Waxman wasting more time and money is making the joke less funny.

Let’s try a hypothetical. Let’s pretend that we just had another 9/11 type terrorist attack in the U.S. And let’s say that someone lies to the FBI to cover for a suspect, throwing the feds off the trail long enough that the suspect is able to get away. Would you say that the witness who lied isn’t guilty of a “real crime”? After all, it’s just a little lie. What’s the big deal?

The point is, the matter of lying to federal investigators and grand juries is deadly serious, regardless of the underlying crime it’s intended to conceal. And, in the case of outing a CIA agent–not inadvertently as Armitage did, but for political payback as Rove and Libby did–the underlying crime is damn serious, too.

Of all the different ways you can look at this, consider how petty and spiteful an act it was–as if to say “How dare you tell America the truth about that yellow cake bullshit? Ooh, I’m going to get you. I’m going to ruin your wife’s career and f*ck up the CIA operation she’s working on. I don’t care if it does damage to national security. I’m going to get you back for crossing me!”

It’s like the White House is run by a bunch of rotten little 11-year-old girls. Grow up, bitches.

Dick Cheney masterminded this whole event and he hates it when someone finds out he’s been bad.

Peace Action, the merger of SANE and The Nuclear Freeze, has effectively mobilized for peace and disarmament for nearly fifty years.

As the nation’s largest grassroots peace group we get results: from the 1963 treaty to ban above ground nuclear testing, to the 1996 signing of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, from ending the war in Vietnam, to blocking weapons sales to human rights abusing countries, and eliminating funding for new nuclear weapons, Peace Action and its 100,000 members have been, and continue to be, at the forefront of the international movement for peace.

At Peace Action we believe…

…that war is not a suitable response to conflict.

For nearly 50 years Peace Action has worked for an environment where all are free from violence and war. We understand that long standing global conflicts require long-term solutions, and that US foreign policy has a lasting effect on the world. We are working to promote a new US foreign policy that is based on peaceful support for human rights and democracy, reducing the threat from weapons of mass destruction, and cooperation with the world community. We are against pre-emptive war, and call for a full withdrawal of American troops from Iraq.

…that every person has the right to live without the threat from nuclear weapons.

There are still over 30,000 nuclear weapons in the world. The US and Russia still have thousands of nuclear weapons, on hair trigger alert—ready to launch in minutes. While the Cold War may have ended, the nuclear threat has not. The only way to ensure that nuclear weapons will never be used – whether purposefully, or accidentally – is global abolition. The U.S. must lead the way to a safer world by taking our weapons off hair trigger alert, halting our research and development of new nuclear weapons and disarming and demilitarizing our warhead stockpile of over 10,000 nuclear warheads. We can reduce the threat to the world posed by nuclear weapons, but we must start by getting serious about getting rid of our own weapons of mass destruction.

…that America has the resources to both protect and provide for its citizens.

As the Pentagon’s budget soars to $400 billion, 17% of American children live in poverty. Basic infrastructure is crumbling, school are using outdated textbooks, and millions of Americans are without basic health insurance.

For what the US will spend on the War in Iraq, 26,701,621 children could have attended a year of Head Start, we could have built 1,815,194 additional housing units for the poor, we could have hired 3,493,706 additional public school teachers for one year, and we could have provided 9,772,998 students four-year scholarships at public universities(source – National Priorities Project). We believe that these are priorities that should come before war.

What we do at Peace Action…

We are the nation’s largest grassroots Peace network, with over 28 state affiliates, and over 100 local chapters. We organize our grassroots network to place pressure on Congress and the Administration through write-in campaigns, internet actions, citizens lobbying and direct action. Through a close relationship with progressive members of Congress, we play a key role in devising strategies to move forward peace legislation, and, as a leading organizing member of United for Peace and Justice and the Win Without War coalition, we lend our expertise and large network to achieving common goals.

Through our Peace Voter awareness campaigns, we inform citizens about their choices for both local and national campaigns, by highlighting different candidates’ stances on issues relating to peace. Our annual Congressional Voter Guide gives credit to those in Congress who voted for a peaceful future, while holding accountable those who voted for larger Pentagon budgets, spending tax dollars on nuclear weapons, and voted for wars of aggression and occupation.

Given the right tools, ordinary people can change the world.

At Peace Action, we recognize that real change comes from the bottom up and we are committed to educating and organizing at the grassroots level.

When you join Peace Action you become part of an effective citizen movement. We work hard to keep you informed through our quarterly newsletter and publications about the most important news and issues in the peace movement. As a member you can join our Action Alert Network which allows citizens throughout the country to rapidly respond to important legislation online. As a member, you can become an important part of a fast growing national movement, and help us change the direction of our country and the world towards a more sustainable, peaceful future.

Together, we have the power to change the world.

Support Peace.

Oh you mean Waxman’s wasting money investigating they way you repukes did.
I mean how much money and time was wasted researching that blow job.
Oh my God, he said “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.” How dare he. How much time and money was wasted? And here’s a clue, most of us would vote for Clinton again if he could run.
But we can’t investigate your cronies for outing a CIA agent or starting a war under false pretenses because – it’s too hard (whine). And less than 20% of the population believe Bush is (1) innocent and (2) doing a good job.
I guess your one of those 20% slow learners.
Or you’re one of those top 1% getting big tax breaks – in which case we’re not wasting your money – its in your pocket.

The entire covert op was exposed by Cheney et al in Novak’s second column. How many of our agents were tortured and/or killed? How many of their contacts? How much did it cost us to create that cover company? How long did it take to develop the contacts? All that was destroyed in a single column by Novak.
