If we can't impeach Bush for his WMD lies and the horrific results, then we will be left with solid proof that America has no surplus democracy to export.
George Bush just gave another vulgar performance in the remodeled James S. Brady Press Room. As usual, he stayed on message - like a vacuum cleaner salesman who touts his machines as the only weapons capable of winning the "eternal war" on dust.
With a straight face, Bush blamed General Tommy Franks for the disastrous post-invasion plan. Apparently, Franks was awarded the Medal of Freedom for giving us advice on troop requirements for stabilizing Iraq.
Without missing a beat, Bush went on to declare that he would resist making decisions based on public opinion polls or even the advice of GOP senators. Rather, he would leave future decisions to his new general - David petraeus.I can't remember the last time the president bothered to visit Iraq. And yet he speaks with such authority about what our Mesopotamian oil colony looks like four years after his unilateral war of aggression.
The bottom line is that we can either wait for the next president to do him the honors or stop funding his illegal war. Dealing with the messy consequences will be left for the Iraqis to sort out. Perhaps massive American reparations can help heal the wounds and restore a fraction of what we have destroyed.
Even if Congress doesn't act, Maliki might invite Bush to pack up and leave at the end of the year by simply refusing to renew his United Nations mandate. Maybe that's why Bush continues to portray Maliki as a young democrat. It will make it that much easier to spin the inevitable withdrawal as compliance with the wishes of a "democratic and sovereign state."Any way you cut it, this vicious American imperial venture in the Gulf is about to end.
And if we can't impeach Bush for his WMD lies and the horrific results, then we will be left with solid proof that America has no surplus democracy to export. We can either impeach Bush and Cheney or suffer irreparable damage to our political heritage of being a nation of laws.

The statements were right. How can America say one thing to others but do something else. Hillary has the answer his name is William Jefferson Clinton. World leaders will only talk to someone they trust. All the other candidates don't same a Bill Clinton. We can clean up the US but we also have to clean up our reputation with the world. We've living in a Global age and we need the other countries just like they need us.
This should be printed in every major newspaper so Americans can see the other side of things, there are always two sides to everything. But one thing for sure is that the Americans are not get the full story or both sides.
