Need your help..Bush's top ten scandals in 2003??

[BeachBuckeye]

Need your suggestions for our year end program Saturday.

[Wetzelbill]

1. Weapons of mass destruction.....

I recall him exasperatedly asking:" What more do we need?", as if Iraqi's were handing out WMD to people as they got off in the airport.

He's come up with a big fat nothing so far.

2. CIA outing

[fishguy]

3. Iraqi ties to Al Qaeda

[Wetzelbill]

4. Wilson-Plame, that is a big one

[acmavm]

5. Tax cuts for the rich, finding out the EPA lied about air quality in New

York after 9/11, the attack on environmental protections regarding emissions from energy plants and big business, Halliburton & Bectel's contracts in Iraq, the list is endless. The Medicare fiasco and pressure from the White House, Cheney's continued defiance in regard to turning his records over on his secret energy panel.

On second thought, ten seems to be a tad limiting, doesn't it?

[Nay]

6. Don't forget how he is stonewalling the 9/11 investigators, and

how he is reducing benefits/pay for the military personnel and families, even if they are on duty in the ME.
