yeah, it's amazing how much information is out there, and yet how little of it is discussed in the mass media.
yet even there, information is available. but Congress doesn't pursue too many things, and there is no equivalent to the right wing screedheads on tv to balance their b.s.
...and as far as Bush's foreign policy goes... I think he sucks.
he's alienated our long-standing allies.
he ignored the advice of generals, ambassadors, and intelligence agents AND lied to the American people to attack Iraq.
He went to this war on a doctrine of "pre-emption" -- it makes my blood boil that Congress failed to perform their duty and gave this power to this idiot and his fascist advisors.
Bush's foreign policy, like his domestic policy, is predicated on overturning the balance of powers, which is our democracy's protection from tyranny, as the founders of this nation saw it.
Bush abused this power and he MUST be held accountable and punished for this. I would prefer that he be tried for conspiracy to defraud the American people and conspiracy to defraud an agency of the Federal Govt.
The Bush administration has acted as though it has no responsibility to the American people, not only via it's failure to be honest about foreign policy issues, but also in economic policy, environmental policy, energy policy...there is NOTHING he has done which works for the benefit of anyone but the Ken Lay criminals who are his buddies.
Bush seemingly allowed bin Laden to escape when he was surrounded on three sides in the Tora Bora region...either to pacify Pakistan's dictator and protect him from the fundamentalists there, or, more likely for Bush, to keep the "war on terror" open so that he and his cronies could lie us into a quagmire in Iraq.
Of course, this invasion has created the very situation that they were supposedly hoping to avoid in Pakistan.
This administration is so ideologically blind that they refuse to believe anything which does not support their pre-existing belief.
If that does not make you want to get rid of these dangerous men IMMEDIATELY, then I wonder if you realize what they are doing to America and the world.
and you, you cannot declare a "war on terror." I mean, you can declare it, because Bush did, but "terror" is not a nation, and so you cannot be at war with it.
but bush's war on terror has been just the replacement the paranoid right needs since communism is not the easily available whipping boy to get the masses drooling.
there are far, far better ways to deal with the threat of terrorism than the way Bush has done...ever since the day he sat in that classroom for thirty minutes while our nation was under attack and did not give the order to scramble fighter planes while hijacked airliners were still in the air.
America will be lucky to survive these assholes without devastating economic and foreign policy problems.
if there is a god, the Bush administration would have been so smote they would look like charcoal bricketts.
