A monumental shift of subject and a note about something everyone missed

[ThomWV]

Two nights ago I had the TV on late. Call me what you will but I was watching C-Span well after midnight, it might even have been Cspan-2.

They were rebroadcasting the live interviews of the Commission established in Great Britain to review that nation's involvement in the war in Iraq and how they found themselves there. I was so tired I was nodding, but even at that it was startling. They were interviewing the fellow who had been Ambassador from '98 to '03 as I recall. He was there for the whole thing, with Bush, with Cheney, in the White House, at the ranch. He did not seem to be holding back anything.

Folks, we have war criminals walking free in this country. There is sworn testimony that attests to it being gathered even as we sit here and none of it is being hidden - well, not to those of us who watch C-Span at 2 in the morning.

1. Do you think Tony Blair will be held accountable?

And if he is will that impact any action against Bush and Cheney?

[ThomWV]

3. It may be. This was not like one of our Congressional hearings, this was serious

Serious questions were being asked, full answers were being given - names, dates, lists of who was present and what was said and decided was discussed. The fellow being interviewed was particularly candid about his converstations with Cheney and Bush and also discussed what he was reporting back to 'the home office'. No kidding, it was chilling stuff. He said what he knew, he also told exactly what he did not know and then explained why he did not know. It was on for a couple of hours, but I was nodding.

2. Yes we do and our current crop of criminals refuse to allow us to prosecute

the previous crop of criminals.

And I seem to recall another incoming administration burying all the investigation of it's previous administration(s). Didn't that work out well?

6. The current adminisration can hardly prosecute previous

crimes when they are continuing all of those same crimes themselves. :(

It will take foreign courts to somehow rein in the US for the atrocities we are committing, first under Bush and continuing under Obama.

8. And that's the really inconvenient truth, isn't it?

We are, and have been, a rogue nation.

What does it take for other nations to accept political refugees?

10. Yes indeed, the Obama Administration knows it will be charged with war crimes.

7. Mafia families will watch out for each other when it comes to the Police

Well known principle. Once someone starts singing, well there might be a choir of information that results in prison for a lot of people.

4. If we go after the war criminals,

it will consume time that could be better spent passing legislation that will benefit the health insurance companies.

Above the law - that's what we have - a segment of the population, mostly rich, who are above the law. And now we are about to get mandated insurance. The Constitution is, after all, just a god damned piece of paper.


:grr:

5. The British have publicly funded campaigns, slander laws, and a short election cycle

Amazing how their government is better than ours.

11. ALL the proof anyone needs to realize...

...that Nader was right.

Additional Evidence: The Democrats just passed a Republican Health "Care" (LOL) Bill.
