The Daily Show: Still President Bush Admits He May Not Have Been That Clear on the Iraq War
Wow. It's easy to forget, but George Walker Bush still has seven months left in office. While Barack Obama and John McCain hog the front pages, President Bush heads to Europe to clear up a couple of misconceptions. One, he loves asparagus. Two, he doesn't regret going to war but he admits he could have explained it a little better.
There you have it. President Bush does not like war. He just likes blowing things up! So is Iran next?

Adrian-where was the "moral high ground" in the decision to invade Iraq? There was for Afghanistan. But for Iran, I'm pretty sure that he's been doing the same bloody things that he did in the lead into Iraq.
Recall that for Iraq, it was WMD's. For Iran, it's nuclear material that will be used for weapons against Israel.
"The terrorists will follow us home if we don't do something about Saddam." "Iranians are funding terrorists in Iraq and giving them weapons to kill us."
But where is the proof?
The IAEA in Iran said that they saw no evidence to convince them that Iran was developing nuclear weaponry. I remind you that WE ALSO use enriched uranium for our own nuclear power plants.
So Iran hates Israel. They aren't the only country who thinks that way. But have they actually ATTACKED Israel? No. Why not go after the countries that actually HAVE attacked Israel?
Do you see the pattern now?
Don't worry Jon, I got you! We'll go at it with the other networks! LOL!!!
Vincent Bugliosi, renound prosecutor and writer,(Helter-Skelter). Has written a book that is a boilerplate for any prosecutor with the spit to take on Bush, Rice, Cheney, and Rummy, provided they have lost one of their citizens to the Iraq war for MURDER starting as soon as they leave office.
The title, "the Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder".
I like the sound of that.
It would be highly doubtful that the US suddenly attacks Iran more or less unprovoked given its present circumstances. It would need atleast SOME form of morale highground/justification to do this. What I could possibly see happen is a staged attack on the US fleet in the persian gulf and thus giving the "All Clear" to bomb them...if no such "provocation" is at hand, the EU and Russia will be seriously pissed off and it could have detrimental and long lasting to the respective relationships on the 2 continents.
Alternately I see Israel possibly striking Iran with US backing. There is however no doubt in my mind that Iran will get attacked one way or the other. It's already being built up in the media who seem to still be blind as to what's about to happen. They're practically begging for a new more exciting war, while forgetting the mess in Iraq and Afghanistan. I just don't see how some people actually believe that fighting a "War on Terror" this way will EVER be successful. If a single civilian gets killed, then you have atleast 4 relatives who have an AK 47 handy and want to take revenge. It can't be won through military might, unless the US seriously goes "gloves off" and drop a few nukes...and even then...yay, we won....let's enjoy our nuclear waste land free of terrorists!
Just FYI, Bush needs a wake up call from Congress:
-
Open Letter to Congress: A Call for Impeachment
On Monday, June 9th 2008, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) made history on the floor of the House by reading 35 Articles of Impeachment against President George W. Bush. I highly respect his courage and integrity which has exceeded what most members of Congress have shown lately.
Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) has his own impeachment in the works against Dick Cheney and has joined with Dennis in support of the proceeding against Bush. Kudos to Rep. Wexler as well.
As more comes to light on an almost daily basis about lies, deceit and outright illegal activity on the part of the Bush administration, it is ever more apparent that Congress must take this action on behalf of all Americans and in particular, on behalf of the thousands of dead and injured soldiers who died in a war started with lies.
The million plus dead Iraqi citizens also need vindication from America's deadly blunders. The world is watching us and you, our Congress.
Now it appears the move to impeach is stalled, in part because of Speaker Pelosi's siding with the Bush administration against American's reputation and best interest.
Congress has this one chance to clear it's own name. For seven plus years Congress has aided and abetted a rogue, lawless administration by handing him bill after bill to undermine the Constitution. Each time the Supreme Court declared Bush's actions to be unconstitutional, he came to you and you handed him more unconstitutional laws.
Bush is not above the law. You cannot be so ignorant that you ( Congress ) did not know what you were doing. I will excuse the early years when Bush had a Republican Congress who let him work them like puppets to do his bidding. Democrats are now in the majority, yet I see little sign that anything has really changed at all.
While I would not expect you to impeach yourselves, though many of you do not deserve the office you hold, I would expect you to hold the present administration responsible for it's actions and to do so quickly before you throw away the only chance you have to do so.
Any member standing in the way of impeachment hearings is obstructing justice and is forgetful of their own oath of office to uphold the constitution. Some of you have the same blood on your hands as does the President, with well over a million humans dead in Iraq and hundreds in illegal detention. Bush will never wash his own hands. He is arrogant and thumbs his nose at Congress, the law, the Supreme Court and the Constitution and you have helped him do this for far too long. Time to say "enough is enough" on behalf of the We, the people.
America is watching you. America wants impeachment. Many of you are due for reelection this fall. Few of you deserve another term, however, you can start to atone for your own failures to protect our nation from the illegal actions of the administration by moving forward with impeachment, finally showing some courage of your own.
Will you stand up and say YEA! to impeachment or will you site silently by, letting the lawlessness continue hoping it will just "go away"? Will you allow bad precedents already set by this administration to remain for future presidents to follow or will you finally do YOUR DUTY? Send a clear signal into the future that no president is above the law....that NO PRESIDENT shall thumb his/her nose at Congress our Constitution and the Supreme Court as Bush and Cheney have been allowed to do for too long.
If you truly believe in your oath of office, that you are the protectors of the Constitution and of your country you cannot allow lawlessness to continue in the executive branch.
The ball is in your court, Congress. Are you going to play or sit on the bench?

I think he absolutely wants to bomb Iran. He's like a kid nagging his parents for a new toy in a toy store and he'll sulk and pout and throw tantrums until he gets his way. Of course, his way is never the right way.
I love all the food references we've been getting recently. Makes me hungry for more...
Probably. All the blogs say so!
