There are so many things that people still don't know about the Bush administration but most of us know that George Bush and his evil empire are ruining our country and the rest of the world.
How can we speed up the process of removing him from office? Do we need petitions? I hope someone has some knowledge on this.

I'm just curious how the war in Iraq is protecting us. Have any Iraqi terrorists even tried to enter the USA? Did Sadaam have any ties with terrorists that threatened the USA?Originally posted by The DemonNo matter what, you people will bitch about any president. I for one can sleep at night knowing Bush protects me with his ability to start wars. Although he has done a lot of wrong I still believe it is for the greater good of the country, especially for our safety. When I heard the Iranian president, who I would shoot on site, announce that Israel will be annihilated, I gave a huge sigh of relief knowing Bush is our president, and if Iran attacks Israel, Bush can and will blow Iran right off the map. You just don't understand that terrorists are afraid of the United States especially right now with Bush in power.
What was the exact threat that Iraq posed to the USA?
I do know that Iran would not be trying to develop nukes if the Iraqi army was still next door.Comment

It has not been determined that the "phone tapping" is illegal and the subject has been and is still being debated, but the consensus thus far, among constitutional legal scholars, appears to be that the President not only has the power via the Constitution, but the obligation to carry out "phone tapping". In addition the consensus appears to be that the Congress cannot enact a law that places limits on the power that is provided to the President via the Constitution unless the Supreme Court agrees that the law passed by the Congress is legally binding upon the President.Originally posted by King AdamHow about the phone tapping. That is illegal. What about the lies and coverups? There are high crimes he has commited, he just hasn't been charged and convicted yet.
You saying that "there are high crimes he has committed" does not make it so and unless you are a constitutional scholar your statement does not bear any credibility.Last edited by Sexxxy Sites; 04-18-2006, 02:42 PM.Comment

Tapping foreign terrorists' phone lines is not illegal.
Are you saying that all these foreign terrorists have to do is call the good ole' USA --and then they are suddenly immune?

Democratic countries generally don't produce terrorism. Make Iraq democratic, and it stabilizes the Mideast. That's the theory. However, it doesn't happen overnight.
GWB said Saddam had terrorist ties.
Saddam himself was a terrorist. He ruled his own country with fear, intimidation, and outright brutality. He used chemical weapons against civilians in Halabja in 1988.

Why he chose to make vicious threats to blow the shit out of the US with his "WMD carrier" nobody really knows except the President of the US - and it's still a secret.
Anyways, the President of the US got to hear about Abdul thru his superior intelligence services and decided to kill a lot of Iraqi's because they must have been friends of Abdul.
The world - and the US is now safe and all people like Abdul are very frightened of the US and now have freedom and democracy.

The people who have the effrontery to rule us, who call themselves our government, understand this basic fact of human nature. They exploit it, and they cultivate it. Whether they compose a warfare state or a welfare state, they depend on it to secure popular submission, compliance with official dictates, and, on some occasions, affirmative cooperation with the state's enterprises and adventures. Without popular fear, no government could endure more than twenty-four hours. David Hume taught that all government rests on public opinion, but that opinion, I maintain, is not the bedrock of government. Public opinion itself rests on something deeper: fearComment

In other panels before the committee the majority consensus among constitutional scholars was that the President had the constitutional authority to "phone tap" without going through the FISA courts and that the "exclusive" lanquage in the passing of FISA was not constitutional in that it limits the power of the President.

As for other crimes, its not easy to just say he did it. Just like a lot of Americans, I see things happen and even though he has not been proven guilty of it, well that doesn't mean he isn't.
Let me give you an example. My father runs his own law firm. He is also a Judge. I know in this country a person is innocent untill proven guilty. But that doesn't mean they aren't guilty. And even if they are proven innocent in a court of law, there are many that are guilty and get off due to a technicality. I have seen with my own eyes this very thing. When I was younger, I used to go to court to see my Dad being a judge. I've seen people that I know go before him and get a not guilty verdict even though they were guilty. I know they were because it was people I know on a personal level. The judical system is as fucked up as anything. Thats why I never finished law school.
Now thats only on a state level. When you have as much power and money as the president and administration, its not that hard to have things overlooked and swept under the rug. There are payoffs, threats and blackmail.
For example, Bush went to Iraq because he wanted to get rid of WMD. All bullshit. He wanted control of oil .. period. I have family in the middle east and our media in the US sugar coats everything. You only see what they want you to see. That is just one small example. The whole 911 is a story in itself.
I very much appreciate your input and information. Learning and education are the only things that can truly make one better and more powerful. But one must open their eyes and realize that things aren't always what they seem to be. When it comes to the government, these things are usually not even close to the truth.

Your "understanding" of what is and what is not a covert agent is irrelevant. It's not your or my business nor that of the general public.
It does not matter one toss whether it's a US CIA agent, some other govt officer or a law enforcement officer in a covert scenario - or whether it's the President of the US or the manager of McDonalds. It can be, and often is, *highly* risky to even indicate the possibility that an individual may be "not as it seems".
There is little doubt the President of the US has one single clue about the contacts an indivdual has had over her career and what may be harmful if known to *someone*. There are things people just don't talk about - or ask questions. It is clear you have no knowledge of either the dangers or the lengths to which folks go to protect situations - I do.
For the President of the US to come out with his slimebag and smear shit over one of the people working on behalf of the US in an attempt to "get at" her husband because he does not like his report - is the height of utter amateurism and shows how utterly stupid, warped and incompetent he actually is. Tho doubt he was alone in playing these pathetic party-political games.
I may be critical of "agencies" at times, but never would dream of "declaring up" an individual under risk - I got more respect than that and that's only me - for the US President to get into that swamp is extremely damning and says a lot about him.Last edited by Webby; 04-18-2006, 09:23 PM.XXX TLD's - Another mosquito to swat.Comment

Your "understanding" of what is and what is not a covert agent is irrelevant. It's not your or my business nor that of the general public.
It does not matter one toss whether it's a US CIA agent, some other govt officer or a law enforcement officer in a covert scenario - or whether it's the President of the US or the manager of McDonalds. It can be, and often is, *highly* risky to even indicate the possibility that an individual may be "not as it seems".

It was the CIA agent that recommended to the agency that her husband be sent to Africa. He went and came back with a negative report (some in Great Briton insist to this day that his report was wrong but the truth will probably never be known) and went public stating that the Vice President sent him which was a lie. He was out to get the President and the President retaliated for political reasons.and says a lot about him
What the President did, as I stated was a bit outrageous, but what he did was legal as whatever the President leaks automatically becomes declassified information.
BTW...it is "OUR" constitution and we Americans are rather proud of it.Comment

Some of these folks have done shit in their careers that no politician would ever come near to and deserve some respect for stuffing their necks out to remedy a problem at great personal risk to themselves - even when operating within the US in leafy suburbia. Odd they never have a rap sheet despite being jailed and committing plenty "offenses"
Seriously.. the Bush shit ain't funny and is not in the interests of the US or anyone involved. It simply means the govt can't be trusted even by their own officers.XXX TLD's - Another mosquito to swat.Comment

You are correct that the President can declassify information when he chooses however we give him that power to protect the country and not for his personal gain. Just because it's legal does not make it right. He spent years telling the public that the information becoming public was outrageous. We all know the reason that information was made public.Originally posted by Sexxxy SitesWhat the President did, as I stated was a bit outrageous, but what he did was legal as whatever the President leaks automatically becomes declassified information.
While I'll admit there was no crime committed are you willing to admit that it was more then a bit outrageous?
Haven't members and friends of the administration profited from questionable policies and actions? I'm not talking a few million $$$ here and there either.Comment

I don't know. I am not privy to the "members and friends" transactions and bank accounts. Maybe you can let me know what "members and friends" have made millions or more from "questionable policies and actions". Also maybe you can let me know what "questionable polices and actions" you are speaking of.Haven't members and friends of the administration profited from questionable policies and actions?

You have no idea what the hell you're talking about. You hear some crap on FOX News and run around repeating it like a fucking parrot.Originally posted by Sexxxy SitesYes it does and also about dirty politics. It was the CIA agent that recommended to the agency that her husband be sent to Africa.
From the July 2003 edition of Newsday:
A senior intelligence officer confirmed that Plame was a Directorate of Operations undercover officer who worked 'alongside' the operations officers who asked her husband to travel to Niger. But he said she did not recommend her husband to undertake the Niger assignment. 'They [the officers who did ask Wilson to check the uranium story] were aware of who she was married to, which is not surprising,' he said.
'There are people elsewhere in government who are trying to make her look like she was the one who was cooking this up, for some reason,' he said. 'I can't figure out what it could be.' 'We paid his [Wilson's] airfare. But to go to Niger is not exactly a benefit. Most people you'd have to pay big bucks to go there,' the senior intelligence official said. (Newsday article "Columnist Blows CIA Agent's Cover," dated July 22, 2003).
Another right wing lie. Please look up facts before you continue spewing out your bullshit. This is right from the article Joe Wilson wrote in the NY Times which brought all this about:Originally posted by Sexxxy Sitesand went public stating that the Vice President sent him which was a lie.
'In February 2002, I was informed by officials at the Central Intelligence Agency that Vice President Dick Cheney's office had questions about a particular intelligence report. While I never saw the report, I was told that it referred to a memorandum of agreement that documented the sale of uranium yellowcake.'
'After consulting with the State Department's African Affairs Bureau (and through it with Barbro Owens-Kirkpatrick, the United States ambassador to Niger), I agreed to make the trip.'

BTW.. On trust - there is no second chance for Bush and his "leaks".
It is little surpise the husband of the "declassified" individual got kinda mad. If that happened to friends of mine, I'd sure have a great desire to twist George's balls off and remind him how to spell loyalty. But "redemption" comes in all forms and patience is a virtue - and all that cliche crap.XXX TLD's - Another mosquito to swat.Comment
