Bush lied under oath--who is going to hold him accountable?

[Horse with no Name]

His lie:

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."

1. He was crossing his fingers in back while he said it.

n/t

[mzteris]

2. I dunno if he LIED, exactly......

After all it does say: ""I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."

He's an utterly incompetent ijut - maybe it's the best he could do considering........

I'm just saying......... :shrug:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

4. The impenetrable Defense.

No jury would convict.

6. If this is the "best" of his ability,

I'd really hate to see things if he wasn't really trying. I can't imagine things much worse, but I'm sure this bunch could think of something.

3. Name anyone in this Administration or any high-ranking military commanders

having anything to do with pre-emptive war who have not violated their oaths of office and I'll shut my trap.

5. We must hold him accountable

and we will with the help of our brave few elected officials like John Conyers, Barbara Boxer, Maxine Waters, John Kerry (who is still after Bush, don't think for a second that he's not!) and all the others who have signed letters to the pResident asking for an accounting on many issues, not least of which is the new storm coming over Abu Graib. I think the American People will hold him accountable once those horrid images hit the public's eye. It was a shame that it took a little girl on fire from napalm to get Americans to wake up before during the Viet Nam war but apparently, we have to have the truth painfully shoved in our face before we put a stop to things!

Bush isn't committing these crimes in my name anymore!

10. "As long as I'M the dictator..."

[Patchuli]

13. We the People disagree!!!!

He has broken his oath of office and he's going to answer for it!

[Jim Sagle]

7. Only someone who wants to end up in Gitmo.

[leveymg]

8. Well, he has killed the dignity of the office. n/t

[garthranzz]

9. Proof of Bush's vocabulary deficit

Killed it, Restored it - aren't those synonyms? :sarcasm:

[proud patriot]

11. I don't think he's read the Constitution

can one swear to uphold something w/o knowing
what it is one is upholding ?

12. 16 words in the 03 SOTU - wingers HATE when you bring that FACT up ;->

peace
