Today is an ominous day for the country, signifying a new low since Watergate in terms of openness and honesty in our government. This is far more than an indictment of an individual. In effect it's an indictment of the vicious and devious tactics used by the Administration to justify a war we never should have fought. It's an indictment of the lengths Administration officials were willing to go to cover up their failed intelligence, their distortion on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, and their serious blunders on the war. It is an indictment of their vindictive efforts to discredit anyone who challenge their misrepresentations.
The American people know the high cost of this misguided war -- 2,000 U.S. soldiers dead, more than 15,000 wounded, hundreds of billions of dollars spent with no end in sight, and a continuing shameful effort by the White House to silence those who try to tell the truth about the war. Dissent is the ultimate form of patriotism, and it's time we return to having an honest discourse in this country about changing direction and paying attention to the needs of the American people. The President should take this opportunity to do everything he can to heal the country by not interfering with the prosecution of this case or the continuing investigation, and by cleaning house at the White House to immunize the country against any further corruption and dishonesty. As the President promised, anyone still in the White House who had anything to do with this scandalous plot or the cover-up should be dismissed immediately, whether or not they have been indicted. Something has to give — America can't stand three more years of this failed Bush presidency.
Yeah, Aquaman has a lot of nerve, and I remember him behaving similarly during Clinton's term.
Teddy, just shut up and drink your way through it like you have every administration since your brother's.
Too quote the Late Great Dean Wormer: "Fat Drunk and Stupid is no way to go through life!"
typical
Doogle
Kennedy who?
Help me out--Did anyone lose their life during Watergate?
Quite a stretch, Fat Teddy. Now let's re-examine YOUR actions of some years ago involving a young lady named Mary Jo........shall we, you d**khead?
ROTFLMAO!
"Failed Bush presidency."
Have another drink, Swimmer.
You're in for 3 more years of Bush's presidency.
Was he freaking asleep during the 90's?
Yeh, Aquaman, do you ever have NO LEG to stand on. Why don't you just RETIRE??
And during Clinton's term, was it Clintonthat appointed the special Council, or the Senate that asks for it? I don't recall. Everything I've heard in the present case is that the President appointed the prosecutor, and even Fitz said, I've heard, that the White House has been cooperative.
Seems to me that only Ted Kennedy avoided his chance to meet with a prosecutor several decades ago...
"It was a dark and stormy night . . . ."
If I had been President, (hic) those 2,000 promising lives would have been at the bottom of a creek, or maybe in lower-level diplomatic careers that they weren't entitled to. (hic) Or at least working at Wal-Mart. Well anyway I'd be more satisfied with the outcome (hic) than this travesty of lies, lies that resulted in Qusay and Uday being dead-ay and Saddam being one-foot-in-the-grave-ay. (hic) Where's my intern?
It wasn't me...nor was it the dog...Must have been Teddy' statement being released, not flatus that made that noise...
" . . . openness and honesty . . . "
This killer has the audacity to speak about openness and honesty? Every time he opens his mouth to spew his venom, I want to throw up.
Teddy has finally lost his last marble. Must have had an extra drink last night. Nowhere in his statement is he on topic. Usually his ramblings at least have a vague reference to the subject at hand.
It's also an indictment for Bush not signing Kyoto, prisoner abuse at Abu Graib, people that leave someone to die in a car that you just drove off a bridge, bananas turning black too soon, ..............
