Is Bush* Above the Law during a 'time of war'? Republicans say Yes!

[Q]

- Of course Republicans can't come right out and say it...but everything they've done since 9-11 suggests that they really do believe that the Bush* government is above the law during a 'time of war'. What seems to escape the scrutiny of many Americans is that it was the Bush* government who created the conditions and opportunity for war by using 9-11 as a springboard.

- It doesn't take a genius to understand why the Bush* government is so 'reluctant' to participate in any investigation involving 9-11. It should go without saying that Bush's* 'war on terrorism' (and blank check to wage war) would be severely damaged if information came out revealing the lack of action by the Bush* government before, during and after 9-11. The idea of a war that would 'last a generation' wouldn't look quite as appealing if the very reason for war was put in doubt.

- The Bush* government will remain above the law and wage perpetual war until the day 9-11 is fully examined by a truly independent commission or special prosecutor. It's silly to expect the current commission to find anything close to the truth as long as the Bush* White House has control of their budget and conditions under which they operate.

1. Yeah, but...

they also know Bush is in trouble in the polls and, at least until the November elections, he'll try to appear like he's not.

Then, if he's elected, we will go to war next year with more crimes against humanity and all.

2. Above the Law

The Bush* government will remain above the law and wage perpetual war until the day 9-11 is fully examined by a truly independent commission or special prosecutor.


Let us hope we stop them in november.

3. the bush cabal and their entire pack of thugs have always been above

the law.

From gratuitious admissions into prestigious schools, to handing off indictments on SEC fraud; to expungements of driving and arrest records; to getting away scott-free on perjury charges; to stealing elecions.... the bush regime gets away with whatever it wants...

And that's just the 'president'....

4. You're on the right track.

The idea is that all Republicans will be above the law. Laws will be for pinko commie faggot hippie weirdos to the left of Bob Dole.

It's just one more element that kinda takes the shine off bipartisanship.

[Q]

5. Indeed...the Dem party is going to 'bipartisanship' itself...

...out of existance.

- And it's looking more and more like the Dem enablers of Bush's* war will become THE candidate.

- The Bushies are hitting the 'it was worth it to Get Saddam' rhetoric pretty hard...and it doesn't help that certain Democrats are agreeing so as not to look 'partisan' during a 'time of war'.

- Bush's* 'war on terrorism' is as phony as the 2000 election.

7. Sadly I couldn't agree

more. I'm thinking of enrolling as a rethug, that way I will be free to pick and choose which laws I feel like obeying today. It would be nice to do as I please without worrying about the consequences.

9. You're so right Q...

Just watching Harold Ford, Rom Emmanuel (these names come to mind) and the like lately, I am just appalled to hear them saying that the invasion of Iraq was worth it just to have gotten rid of Saddam. These people, to me, are traitorous. What are they thinking? They MUST think it is going to help their political careers somehow. I just don't know what to think at this point. :shrug:

6. And the irony is that we have never been "at war" until it's convenient

to be used to deflect questions about the propriety of our governments behavior.
You're right. Until we have someone who looks at how 9-11 happened and WHO did it, we will remain in this nightmare. We will be doomed if we put someone from the good old boys school back in charge.

8. But the same sure didn't apply to Cliton

during Kosovo

11. What's that famous quote from Bugman Delay again...?

Oh, yeah:

""I support the (military) effort. I don't support the policy, the President's failed policy that brought us to this."

[Q]

10. GOPers still bring up Clinton 'bombing an aspirin factory'...

...and insist this was some sort of 'crime' even though he had to depend on the same intelligences services as Bush*. A double-standard arises when we see Republicans now blaming the intelligences services for 'bad info' on Iraq.

- Bush* took this nation to war because of 9-11...but now obstructs any and all efforts to get to the truth. This in and of itself should suggest a coverup worth the time of a special prosecutor.
