A Reputation in Tatters
George W. Bush and his gang of neocon warmongers have destroyed America’s reputation. It is likely to stay destroyed, because at this point the only way to restore America’s reputation would be to impeach and convict President Bush for intentionally deceiving Congress and the American people in order to start a war of aggression against a country that posed no threat to the United States.
America can redeem itself only by holding Bush accountable.
As intent as Republicans were to impeach President Bill Clinton for lying about a sexual affair, they have a blind eye for President Bush’s far more serious lies. Bush’s lies have caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people, injured and maimed tens of thousands more, devastated a country, destroyed America’s reputation, caused 1 billion Muslims to hate America, ruined our alliances with Europe, created a police state at home, and squandered $300 billion dollars and counting.
America’s reputation is so damaged that not even our puppets can stand the heat. Anti-American riots, which have left Afghan cities and towns in flames and hospitals overflowing with casualties, have forced Bush’s Afghan puppet, “President” Hamid Karzai, to assert his independence from his U.S. overlords. In a belated act of sovereignty, Karzai asserted authority over heavy-handed U.S. troops whose brutal and stupid ways sparked the devastating riots. Karzai demanded control of U.S. military activities in Afghanistan and called for the return of the Afghan detainees who are being held at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
Abundant evidence now exists in the public domain to convict George W. Bush of the crime of the century. The secret British government memo (dated July 23, 2002, and available here), leaked to the Sunday Times (which printed it on May 1, 2005), reports that Bush wanted “to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy. . . . But the case was thin. Saddam was not threatening his neighbors, and his WMD capability was less than that of Libya, North Korea or Iran. . . . The (United Kingdom) attorney general said that the desire for regime change was not a legal base for military action. There were three possible legal bases: self-defense, humanitarian intervention or UNSC (U.N. Security Council) authorization. The first and second could not be the base in this case. Relying on UNSCR 1205 of three years ago would be difficult.”
This memo is the mother of all smoking guns. Why isn’t Bush in the dock?
Has American democracy failed at home?

Bush is bad, Bush is stupid, blah, blah, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ......
Yes, it's all about that Barbary Pirates thing.
"As intent as Republicans were to impeach President Bill Clinton for lying about a sexual affair" ..... lying under oath!!!!
Do you think these people will ever state what the impeachment was really about?
How the mighty have fallen.
You posted what I was intending to post. You are exactly correct. It amazes me how often these facts are conveniently left out of any article regarding the impeachment of President Clinton.
What else could you expect from the Bush-hating crowd?
Well, that's a very impressive resume. I must say I always found this guy a little nutty when I've read his pieces. Then he just started to freak me out, so I stopped reading him.
Which college paper does this come from?
We already know where Nazism leads. Why can't we just pre-emptively round these guys up and ship them off to their Fatherland.

May 14, 1948: President Harry S. Truman recognizes the State of Israel within eleven minutes of her proclamation.
The only thing dumber than an old bromide is a mixed metaphor old bromide.
I'm thinkin' there's a little love-child action involved....
Nah, stop sugarcoating, the dweeb might think you like him.:^)
Sometimes the brain is overloaded I guess. He's going Ratty!
ROFLMAO!!! You bad!
You can really go back to 1949 when the UN recognized Isreal as a country. That is a key point when Arabs starting hating America, and it might even have been sooner than that.
Winston Churchill warned of the growing danger within islam.
