CAN YOU HAVE IT BOTH WAYS???

[Steely_Dan]

This just pisses me off...It is such an obvious contradiction that I am amazed that people don't rise up and drag this idiot out of the oval office.

First, President Bush self-proclaims that he is a "wartime president." Okay, let's just accept that for the sake of argument.

So, if he is indeed a wartime president, then why aren't the prisoners held by our government considered "wartime prisoners?"

Here's my point...

If you are a wartime president, aren't the prisoners "prisoners of war?" And as such, aren't they protected under the Geneva Convention???

Yet, our president has claimed that these prisoners are NOT "prisoners of war," but "combatants"...who are NOT legally protected by the Geneva Convention.

Can you have it both ways????

Does anyone else see this blatant contradiction...

I think I've had enough of this pretender. It's time for us to wake up and take a stand against this empty suit.

The rest of the world is laughing at us. So far, many of them do not blame the American people. But, instead, blame our government. If this man gets re-elected, we will no longer be blameless. Shame...shame on our government.

1. Indeed

2. I have always wondered,

how can he be a "wartime President" if he has never declared war? But silly me, I also don't think you can wage war against an ism, only another country.

3. I don't know why he isn't dragged through the streets and charged

with treason, but that's just me. We have a new royalty in this country that can get away with anything because they are above the law. If this jackass had been brought up on charges before he ever was governor of Texas, he wouldn't be President.

DUI's, dealing dope with bro Jeb, insider trading, Harken Enery, Enron??? I mean I can go on and on. Why are these people in charge?

4. So if...

So if Bush is re-elected, can other countries make a valid argument that we (the people) are as responsible as is the President for this tragic and horrific misadventure?

5. I think you could make that argument

Even if Kerry is elected. He voted for this war and I don't think he plans on doing much different about Iraq if he's elected president. I think he wants to try and get more countries involved so we don't have so many of our people over there. That's about it.

As far as Iraq goes, you can say most of us are responsible. Those who put Bush into office and those who supported the war which includes many mainstream Dems evidently.

6. How many years???

How long will it take us to recover our hard earned reputation?
