Remove Bush over war lies
http://www.newsday.com/news/columnists/ny-nybres0826,0,6942248.column

Jimmy Breslin
August 26, 2007

There had been the sound of many feet on a Brooklyn street at the first funeral, of firefighter Joseph Graffa-gnino, and at the second funeral, of firefighter Robert Beddia, a fire engine sounded in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth Avenue. In my office about an hour later, slips of paper came silently out of a machine, the slips coming from the Department of Defense and carrying the names and ages of the 14 soldiers who were killed in Iraq when their helicopter crashed. Four were under 21 and nine 25 or under. Of course the first thought was how the city at this time could handle such calamity if the 14 dead were New York firefighters or police officers. This gives a good view of the catastrophe that happens in Iraq, day after day.

But as the soldiers die at a time of national Alzheimer's, there was virtually no reaction to the 14.

2. I will never understand how we could have been lied into this war...
...or forgive my fellow Americans for allowing it to continue.

Never.

4. I don't care if they remove Bush because of his lies,
his stupidity,

his cronyism,

his irresponsibility,

his alcoholism,

his arrogance,

his abuse of the english language,

his drunk driving,

his hypocrisy,

his bigotry,

his homophobia,

his phony Christian pretense,

his signing statements,

or any one of many other reasons...

...as long as they remove him. Just get him the hell out of the White House now, and let him take Cheney and Rice with him.
