This is an act of war by the UN to demand prosecution of specifically targeted political adversaries.
Another straw on the collective camels backs.
Actually, at the golden moment, there is the “Bush Nuke”, which basically blasts the Obama Administration into the corner, without any hope of gathering support.
When enough has been laid out to harm the Bush appointees...then Bush simply stands up and says that he supported and approved all of the measures. As part of Executive Privelage...which apparently none of these lawyers have ever surveyed....there is this Truman moment where he suggested that he would do the same thing as a retired president...and suddenly right-wing fantatical folks....McCarthy and company....suddenly shut up on prosecuting the Truman administration.
It is believed that each president upon retirement....has some powers left to him as President...and whatever decisions were made...basically cannot be prosecuted unless you want to play the impeachment game. This was brought out in January and discussed on several forums.
So Obama can run the next three weeks of “maybe this or maybe that” but in the end...he will do nothing to prosecute any of the Bush administration. If he does...Bush nukes the entire process, and the current administration suddenly goes into war mode with the old administration...except this time...we’ll suddenly find numerous senate members who really don’t want this dragged out into 2010 election season.
