IMPEACH BUSH


IMPEACH CHENEY



REPREHENSIBLE BUSH


George W. Bush has no sense of shame, so maybe it's no surprise he took one of the worst moments in our history and used it for political advantage. September 11 was not a time for reflection, or sadness, for Bush. It was an excuse to lie us into a war with Iraq. It was an excuse to shred the Bill of Rights. It was an excuse to ram through tax cuts for his rich friends and dole our tax payer money to war profiteers. He has been shameless about weakening our military, about getting thousands of men and women in our military killed or wounded, and killing hundreds of thousands of civilians. He has been shameless about torture. This article is at www.lastchancedemocracycafe.com:


“American citizens must understand, clearly understand that there’s still a threat on the homeland. There’s still an enemy which would like to do us harm,” Bush said. “We’ve got to give our professionals the tools they need, to be able to figure out what the enemy is up to so we can stop it.”


“By blocking this piece of legislation, our country is more in danger of an attack,” he said.


Every word of this is a lie, of course . Delaying (or even withholding altogether) adoption of the FISA legislation won’t put America at risk. US intelligence agencies have all of the authority they need to conduct necessary surveillance without the statute. And as others have noted, even if there were some increased risk, the blame would rest squarely on Bush’s shoulders for holding the bill hostage to his demands for retroactive immunity for the telecommunications companies.
