Get it together and get off this bank wagon. You look STUPID!!!!

It is evident that no-one remembers the American’s leaping to their deaths holding hand from the Towers…Tell them what torture is.

A “911 Commission like” Truth Commission is a distraction and delaying tactic. Bush/Cheney would love a toothless and prolonged commission to insure that there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY.

President Obama.
STOP TRYING TO PROTECT THESE PEOPLE!
You swore an oath.
Is the United States a nation committed to the rule of law or not?
If you deny accountability, you insure repetition.
You KNOW this.
Do the right thing.

34 months? I must be Rip Van Dixie Blood…whaaa..haaapened?

Iraq is an independent, sovereign, stable secular state. The economy has blossomed from the post-Bush shellacking, and we’re well on our way to reducing the deficit. In fact, the most recent budget posted a surplus for the first time in almost ten years. The Republicans lost another five seats in ‘10, putting the Dems within 3 votes of a supermajority for everything. We have universal health care, and a vibrant “green” industry sector putting America to work. All the parties in the mid-East conflict are currently in talks, and it looks like they’re about to come to a peaceful agreement for the first time in history.

Also, everybody sh!ts rainbows now.

Take a look at this story. The number of people involved with Iran/Contra in the Bush II administration is phenomenal.

Also, Cheney and Rumsfeld worked for the Nixon administration. The same evil people, doing the same evil things, decade after decade – because we inevitably get soft and let them back in.

We already knew from the campaign that Obama was the Olympic flip-flopping gold medalist.

Sure, like the time he said he was against all forms of torture and then co-sponsored the Military Commissions Act, which purports to authorize torture (as not-defined by the President). Or when he said the “fundamentals of the economy are strong” and then had to reverse himself because the Republican-controlled market had just taken a big fat swan dive that morning? How about when he suspended his campaign to parachute into Washington to fix everything and then it turned out he had no plan? Or…

What?

Oops sorry, that was your guy.

Oliver North is a media personality who is popular with the right. Think about that.

Richard Cheney – now the vice president, he played a prominent part as a member of the joint congressional Iran-Contra inquiry of 1986, taking the position that Congress deserved major blame for asserting itself unjustifiably onto presidential turf. He later pointed to the committees’ Minority Report as an important statement on the proper roles of the Executive and Legislative branches of government.

The problems of presidents, the CIA, and secret wars goes way back. Nixon bombing Laos and Cambodia, for instance. Whatever comes of the torture issue, if we are to ever truly challenge the tradition of abuse that presidents and spies have been getting away with, we are going to have to stay in power until the chicken-hawk patriot bureaucratic fixtures (like Cheney and Rumsfeld) have been scoured out of power. Their primary weapon right now is the media that carries water for them.

One of the first things Bush W. did when he took office, was to prevent the release of information from his father’s presidency that was due to be declassified and made public. President Obama just released Top Secret documents from the last administration. We should give credit where credit is due.

For everyone else, please recall our basic government–it is good to have a separate DOJ which is not obligated to nod its head every time the president passes gas and say, “yes sir, very good.” It is technically Holder’s job to work on this problem, and the president, as a man who understands the constitution, is letting the appropriate people lead the way in this while he focuses on the other areas of governmental concern–like the economy and so forth. Also, let’s not forget that we can’t just charge like mad bulls into the ring and start flinging indictments everywhere. You have to build a case first. This is, by the very nature of law, going to take time folks.
