John Dean: Should Bush Be Impeached for Missing WMDs? [Scandal is Worse than Watergate]

Find Law's Legal Commentary ^ | 6/7/03 | John Dean

[Bonaparte]

Who is John Dean accusing of being "Deep Throat" now? I know he's already accused Alex Haig, Ron Zeigler, John Rose and a few others. Maybe this disbarred felon's next book will be "No One Left To Accuse."

SHOULD SENATE DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO CONFIRM ALL BUSH SUPREME COURT NOMINEES? REFLECTIONS ON PROFESSOR ACKERMAN’S PROPOSAL

By JOHN DEAN

Meanwhile, in anticipation, a distinguished constitutional scholar and Yale law professor, Bruce Ackerman, has called upon the Senate to withhold its advice and consent for any and all Supreme Court nominations by President George W. Bush. Ackerman’s proposal has created a bit of buzz in Washington, and when, a few days ago, it was editorially embraced by the Boston Globe, I starting thinking about its viability.

"The new charges, hotly denied by Dean, are intended to support what Liddy and others have been saying: The Watergate break-in had nothing to do with President Nixon but was a personal enterprise by Dean to protect his then-girlfriend Maureen by removing information that linked her to a call-girl ring run out of the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate."

Now that would be something to celebrate, if proven.

[nopardons]

It's what Liddy has said all along and what Dean has sued Liddy over and lost.

Those of us who were around back then and still have good memories, remember that this IS , in fact, just what the breakin was all about.

"Just in case anybody is wondering how badly liberals are wanting Bush's scalp"

Well-known to those of us who search out the truth. Unfortunately, there are many people who have little time or access to anything other than liberal media. I try to share what I learn on the internet with people who mostly rely on ABC, CBS, NBC for their news.

It may be worthwhile to print out and distribute the type of info much of the public doesn't get prior to the election. My mother only gets a liberal newspaper, basic tv channels and neither my brother or I have been able to convince her that the Democrats are lying.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

Anyone mind if I question Dean's patriotism? Also: A president cannot stretch, twist or distort facts and get away with it. President Lyndon Johnson's distortions of the truth about Vietnam forced him to stand down from reelection. President Richard Nixon's false statements about Watergate forced his resignation.

Dean conveniently omits recent history of President Bill Clinton lying under oath. Obviously a president can get away with flat out lying if he's brazen enough and selfish enough to put himself above the interests of the nation.

The liberals want Bush bad and will focus on anything. Unless WMD are truly found (We know they had them, either they are in another country *COUGH* IRAN AND SYRIA *COUGH* or they were destroyed). Either way, expect this to be a very very big issue next year.

I don't think Dean comparing this to Johnson was a good comparison. Johnson and company basically fabricated or blew out of proportion a lot of things so they could ramp up and get into nation building, errr defeating those pesky communists, and the press helped them without questioning any of it. Whatever Johnson and his boys said was reported as fact. Look at Reagan or either Bush in the WH, whatever they say is picked over with a fine-toothed comb and reported as "supposedly" or "reported", etc. I have to keep reminding myself that the media is not biased ;-)

[dsutah]

Oh, but then this band of poop-heads will land right on their feet; and start accusing Bush and Blair of 'planting' something there just to justify going after Saddam! I thought that there were a number of different reasons we went in there, this WMD being only one? And ironically, some liberal Dems, and Labour party people in Britain, that went along with it for reasons being that he was torturing, and killing hundreds of his people! This makes me absoulutely speechless!!

And this seemed to have started with a couple of knot-head anti-war people, who've been just itching for a chance to get him on something; even if they have to make up something! I'm appalled at the ugly hatred they have for our president! If they hate it here, and him, why don't they just leave, and start up their own empire? (good grief!)

I swear that ever since they stopped imprisoning and/or executing people for proven treason, we've had more problems with these people! The word 'treason' doesn't faze people anymore. They know nothing will happen to them, so they've become so brazen, it's frightening!

[boxerblues]

they are already trying to get him impeached

Could you point me to that data?

I am sorry, that data will not be available until the latter part of 2004.

[liberalnot]

i do not think john dean to be a credible person.

the only reason that he's ever been in the news is because the democrat media find him useful for attacking republicans.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Inspector Blix and company were only interested in guaranteeing their life long employment in their cushy, over paid positions-like CNN, it behooved them to make saddam appear as a victim. THey were too busy buttkissing their tyrannical host, to even find their own organ when they went to pee.

THe difference between the inspectors searching and searching after the war, is that our troops are really searching, and the multitude of those searching now is probably costing a tenth as much as those few pampered poodles allegedly searching before. Those dogs didn't hunt.

The only people who supported the invasion, are the same ones who still do, and we don't give a d*mn if the WMDs are ever found. We know they were there and we know that Saddam was willing to use them. WE also know that Saddam and crew, are the second wors't mass murders of innocent people on earth -right behind our own abortionists party.

SEarching is certainly not all that came of war. Saddam and his Baathless party of monsters, are much less dangerous.

Somebodies agenda was definately served and the security of America and peace loving people world wide,d*mn well was served.

Saddam is an example to all who would follow in his foot steps: Feel suicidal? Go ahead and make our day.

Not to mention that we didn't even find out about Iraq's Bio/Chem program until 1995...and we were in Iraq since 1991.

[F.J. Mitchell]

bump!

Here's an interesting WMD article, with several Bush quotes.

[RightWhale]

For some reason I printed out an AP article on 10 Oct 02, containing the text of the resolution passed by the House-- "Joint Resolution to Authorize the use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq" and read the whereases again just now. Seems clear enough that the House and the Senate wanted this.

[kevao]

Dean conveniently omits recent history of President Bill Clinton lying

If only someone would demand that Bill Clinton present the WMD evidence he cited 1) to justify his preemptive air strikes against Saddam and 2) to establish the policy of "regime change" in Iraq.

[ohioman]

The security of America was the primary agenda. If you can't see that, then I would suggest you remove your head from your ARSE.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

If only someone would demand that Bill Clinton present the WMD evidence he cited 1) to justify his preemptive air strikes against Saddam and 2) to establish the policy of "regime change" in Iraq.

Excellent point! If W's administration was wildly off on Iraq's WMD status, then The 'Toon's administration was just as wildly off. While this point has been made, it's a point that the liberal lamestream media has swept under the rug easily. However, if the question were put pointedly and just as repeatedly to The 'Toon, it would be hard to ignore and have a unifying effect on the country.

bump - Watergate
