Why does everybody keep acting as if the word “impeachment” mustn’t even be thought of, let alone be said? President Cheney would have enough sense to know when he’s really in trouble.

Today Bush sounded like a wind-up toy, mindlessly repeating the same words, even when faced with complete rejection of what he’s been selling for 3 years… We are bringing victory, success and democracy to Iraq and you must never talk to your enemies.

Mid-East Oil - Conspiracy or Required Policy Consideration?
It’s time to discuss the topic of Mid-East oil openly.
The vast majority of foreign nations opine that oil is why we occupied Iraq. Iraqi’s say we’re there for the oil.
The American press and even the blog-o-sphere avoid the subject as if “oil” means a conspiracy theory, and all conspiracy theory’s are whacky. If Iran, Iraq, Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar did not have two thirds of the earths’ oil resources and potentially need allied forces in the region we would not be there.
How and how big to plant American military resources in the mid east is a natural question. It is not remotely a conspiracy.”Keeping the straights of Hormuz open is in the US nat’l security interests,” is a Ted Kennedy quote.
Having a Texas yahoo blow up Iraq without a plan to secure the peace so that his friends and close personal allies could profit, that specific set of facts is a conspiracy. (see Cheney’s secret meeting)
However, that we’re in the mid east for oil is a fact, not a conspiracy and it should be openly discussed because decisions and policy have to acknowledge “oil.”

NOTHING,will change, this whitewash ISG committee is not bipartisan and certainly not looking out for the peoples interest. Their agenda is to cover everyones ass no matter whow many more people we lose in this futile war.You certainly can’t call Lee Hamilton a Democrat so where is the Bi-Partisonship.

Hi NZExPat @30,

So nice to hear from you. Hope all your flying and testifying is as pleasant as it can be. It was deQuincy who said, that we never knowingly see a place for the last time without feeling sad, even a place we do not like. And I don’t think you’ve quite written off the US of A. Hugs.

So glad you have the chance to say hi to your mum, it’s a gift. And thanks for helping to fix the US — as LindaR said the other day,

These Internets are our streets, and we are taking to them

LindaR, may I use this on a T-shirt?

Fresh thread, all — Swopa has a look at the ISG, Iraq and responsibility. And it’s well worth a read and then some.

I so called centrist and right of center “main-stream” Democratic politicos want to hand the WH to the Republicans in 2008, they can do this by forcing Hillary down our throats

Couldn’t agree more. How do we stop Hillary.

By unifying around an acceptable candidate. Giving money and time to this candidate. Soon! Letters to editors, emails etc. to anyone who might listen to why our candidate is the person to calm these turbulent waters. Spreading the word about why our candidate will win the WH in 2008. And there are other ways. Starting temporary blogs, for example, with the aim of highlighting the positive aspects of our position and most importantly our candidate. And presenting Hillary’s record in a thoughtful, non-demeaning manner.

Present arguments which reassure people who are frightened for their children that there is a way out.

New contest! Write your own ISG recommendations!

Examples from the link:

Implement phased withdrawal of all media access

Rapidly train Iraqi security forces in use of butterfly knives

Try to meet insurgents halfway by burning own effigies of Bush

In simple terms, The ISG was written for adults.
Bush is a child, therefore, he will pick up his toys and rudely do what he wants…

All I have to say about it (Amend. XXV):

Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Now how can we do the same for madman Cheney as well?

Oh, and many thanks to Teddy for providing this linky yesterday.
