Ted Rall says Bush should be warming Prison Cell and mentions Protestors.
Edited on Fri Feb-06-04 09:38 AM by KoKo01
In his ediorial on Yahoo, Rall is the first person I've seen actually mention the millions who protested agains Iraq Invasion. This hard hitting article against Bush is a treat to read, he doesn't pull his punches:

(SNIP)
Ted Rall -- STUPIDITY IS ALL AROUND

Hit the theme from the old Mary Tyler Moore show. New lyric: stupidity is what's all around.

By all rights Bush ought to be warming a prison cell right now. His own CIA (news - web sites)-employed weapons of mass destruction hunter, David Kay, has given up his WMD search, conceding that there are none. Kay, who supports both Bush and his preemptive wars, thinks Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) destroyed them all within six months after the end of the 1991 Gulf War (news - web sites), just as he was supposed to. "It turns out we were all wrong," Kay told the Senate Armed Services Committee (news - web sites).

Well, not all of us. Not the millions of people who took to the streets to march against the war. But apparently they don't count.

In a case study of revisionism gone wild, the American media has embarked on a witch hunt against the CIA--the one intelligence outfit that repeatedly warned Bush's war cabinet that there was no solid evidence that Iraq (news - web sites) posed any kind of threat. "How could the nation's $40 billion-a-year intelligence apparatus, focused on Saddam's regime for more than a decade, have been so wrong?" chides USA Today. "How did the make the leap from suspect intentions to bold claims of existing WMD programs?" asks Newsweek.

1. If I were pro-death penalty I would say that * should receive that penalty

after being convicted in an open court (televised of course). But since I am against the death penalty in all cases: I would be satisfied to have Shrub imprisoned for life, without parole, for his crimes against the USA and humanity.

2. Spandau has a vacancy.
He could tend to a garden and feed the birds for the rest of his natural life.

5. Reopen Alcatraz...
He could become the new "Birdman" (How's his Burt Lancaster impersonation?).


If convicted, put Rush there too. They could start a mutual admiration society.
