So this is why the "Terrrist" haven't been tried in 5 years! ELECTION YEAR

[Up2Late]

Wait until the election year to move them all to GTMO and prance them around, while beating on Chest.:argh:

This is such BS! What should we do to counteract these "election year politics"!?!? :mad: :banghead: :grr: :nuke:

[sandnsea]

1. Pretty disgusting

And hey, I thought Bush wasn't going to just issue a bunch of arrest warrants. I hate these people and I hate these idiot pundits who don't call them on their bullshit.

[Up2Late]

3. You should turn on NPR, Senator Patrick Lahey just called Bush...

...a Liar! (Not on those words, but that's basically what he said when the host questioned him about what he just read during his "speech").

[redqueen]

2. Talk about them playing politics with our security.

That's the best thing I can think of. LTTE's, call-in shows, etc. Get the word out.

[Up2Late]

4. Yup, I just heard it on the first "sound bite" they replayed.

Man, they suck so much.

[Solly Mack]

5. and call it "justice"

Cause he did call it "justice"

[redqueen]

6. They spit on justice. That's why they ignore the rule of law...

and just make their own version up as they go along.

[Solly Mack]

10. now that's the truth of it all

[Up2Late]

7. Disgusting. I think I must of tuned that part out...

...most of what he says is such disgusting rhetoric, that I tend to try to ignore most of what he says.

[Solly Mack]

12. He called it "justice" for the victims of "911"

illegally detaining people in a CIA run secret prison where "alternative procedures" of "interrogation" are performed is achieving justice for victims...and moving them to GTMO, after years of detention and "alternative interrogation procedures" and trying them under the Bush version of a military tribunals is also "justice"...it's all in the name of "justice"

[bluerum]

8. Exactly what went through my mind.

I am near puking listening to Neil Conan. He sounds like he is wetting his pants. Making this whole thing sound some kind of fantastic step forward in the war on terra.

They have held these people for years as an ace in the hole. They are pulling this out for the Nov. election cycle. This is almost pure politics. The only place they stray from it is holding congress over a barrel by "asking" them to craft a law that lets every law breaking son of a bitch in this administration off the hook.

[EFerrari]

9. You mean, election year terrorism? n/t

[Jawja]

11. Nothing.

As long as the public buys this crap and allows them to successfully use these kind of election year tactics, they will continue to do it.

Only when the consequences of not removing them from office catch up with the voters who allow themselves to be snookered with this crap will it change.

Latest poll? * is at 40-41%. 40-41% of the public feel this jackass is doing a credible job! Until the 35-40% of the public that still support this creep, no matter what, HURT BAD ENOUGH to change their minds, we are going to continue to see these tactics before elections and probably Repugs remaining in control.

13. Maybe this will help: US disapproval of Bush near European levels (FT)

US disapproval of Bush near European levels

Public opinion in Europe and the US is converging against President George W. Bush, according to a new transatlantic survey released on Wednesday.

While 77 per cent of EU citizens disapprove of Mr Bush’s handling of international affairs, the figure in the US is now 58 per cent, according to the annual Transatlantic Trends poll of 13,000 people in 12 European nations and the US.

This is the first time in the five-year history of the poll that more Americans disapprove than approve of Mr Bush’s international stance. During that time, European disapproval of the US has risen by more than 20 percentage points, while the proportion of Europeans who favour US leadership of world affairs has fallen from 64 to 37 per cent.

“Every single US official says the transatlantic relationship has improved, but Europeans have made their mind up on Bush,” said Ron Asmus, of the German Marshall Fund, which carried out the survey together with the Compagnia di San Paolo, an Italian non-profit organisation. “But Americans and Europeans do not have a fundamental difference on threats and there you have a basis for co-operation.”
