He was also in close discussions with Musharaff prior to the assasination of Benazir Bhutto. This scumbags fingerprints are all over so many criminal acts from illegal military aggressions to the plundering of the US Treasury and dividing it up with his Haliburton and oil buddies and meddling in internaional conflicts not in a diplomatic vein but as a divisive influence in war and death for his own personal reasons and at the behest of the neoconservative agenda. This criminal does not act in the interests of America and it's people. He is a traitor to this Country and deserves the ultimate consequences for his treasonous acts. Nancy Pelosi deserves to rot in prison for the rest of her pathetic life as well for her complicity in his crimes by not bringing impeachment charges against him despite the volume of evidence against him. Her job is to protect the Constitution and this nation from international AND DOMESTIC THREATS. HAS THERE EVER BEEN A MORE DIRE OR CREDIBLE THREAT FROM WITHIN THIS NATION AS THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF RICHARD BRUCE CHENEY?
