5. I don't think Bush bought the Paraguayan pig farm for any other reason
He has to have somewhere to hide.

Democratic leaders don't seem to have the spine for it... So, as stated I wouldn't be holding my breath unless we see a Dennis Kucinich Presidency.

18. As soon as the depression hits, there will be a race to prosecute
The people who don't, will go down with the perpetrators.

It's what always happen -- as soon as you swing to one extreme, the whole system swings to the other. That's what makes it dangerous.

4. Why not? Saddam got a fair trial. They can try Bush and Cheney in Iraq.

11. That's right. We'll need a board, some ropes, a rag,
some cellophane, and a bucket of water. Not going to torture, mind you...just waterboard. :sarcasm:

(No, Agent Mike, I'm against the use of torture, even against criminals like Bush and Cheney)

7. You mean just because they're
not fair and are certainly unbalanced that they should have "fair trails"?

I agree..of course, they should. We're not them. ;)

10. They've had a 7-year 'trial' and a jury of billions worldwide.
That's far better than they've given hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, Gitmo detainees, and the troops killed or missing limbs.

I'd be overjoyed to provide the feathers. Somebody bring the hot tar. Please!

14. Keep 'em away!
They won't get a fair trial here. We'll just shoot them.

I have secret fantasies about the day Bush and Cheney will be delivered at the ICC. We're are all going to stand there and throw even less eggs then at his inauguration. And we'll make sure we'll put him and Cheney in the same cell as Milosovic was, it's haunted, you know.
And the food... I'll bet they're no big fans of Brussels sprouts, but we've got veggies here that will keep the Germans at bay for years. And each year they're in, we'll chop off half a limb and not replace it. That way they get to keep the illusion that they're not going to get the full sentence.
Just dreaming about better days to come.

19. You'd not be any better than your pResident...
Besides, many have tried to get a shot at our legislation (concerning the hookers, drugs and such) but all have failed. It's like marching on Moskow; don't.

What would you do to them? Expose the suckers to hours and hours of kids whining about Hannah Montana?

17. The assertion has been that we shouldn't impeach because
we don't have the votes. Well, we damned sure won't have the votes unless we impeach.
