will cheney be allowed to slink out of washington untouched by any hint of scandal or crime??

[spanone]

after all, this man orchestrated a trumped up war responsible for purportedly nearly a million deaths

1. They'll just unplug him.

[spanone]

2. cheney going unpunished will send a clear message to future elected criminals

no accountability

[madokie]

5. That would be a problem for Obama's legacy if these folks go free

so I don't think that is going to happen. If they have done all these things I've been reading these last few year that they have done then the day of reckoning will come. My worry is living long enough to see it happen not if it will ever happen.

[madokie]

3. I know most here have to be getting tired of reading that I think none of them will walk freely

away from all this but thats what I feel. Maybe momentarily they/he will but I trust that we will remain through all this a government of laws and not of men. Thats tells me that dick and w and all the rest will be giving their day in court. I believe that with all my being.

[spanone]

4. i hope you're right....right now it's hard to share your optimism.....

[madokie]

6. I see that here and elsewhere too

Obama is here to make changes and turning his back on all this criminality is not change. I say we all need to get behind this new chance and embrace it like our lives depended on it. We have to work to help not just to question his every move.

11. I like the ripple of hope that you cast.... Keep it up.

[madokie]

16. As long as I'm alive and until I've been beaten completely down I will continue with hope

I love my country and I don't think a band of crooks are stronger that we are. We will either bring these crooks to task for all this or we will have lost our country, simple as that. There is simply no two ways about it. Thats my read anyway

7. I'm sure he will, he's gotten away with it so far

[madokie]

8. except'n we have a new sheriff in town

and he doesn't seem to me to be the kind to turn his back on us the people. Of which he would be doing if these criminals walk away from all this as free people.

[spanone]

9. where are the world courts? do they exist? if so, what do you have to do to qualify as a criminal?

[madokie]

13. I would think that the strategy right now is to cool heals

until we get them out of any semplence of control. Them being the war criminals etc.

[Mari333]

10. agreed. n/t

[MsLeopard]

15. I really want to believe

that PE Obama is waiting until he's sworn in to immediately say, maybe in his inauguration speech, that accountability is on the table. That investigations and prosecutions will take place, if warranted. I really want to believe it. Can you imagine the collective sigh of relief in this nation if we have a leader that works for us, and our country's good name (what's left of it)? After the past 8 years, it's hard to keep the faith. Your sincere conviction helps a lot, though. :hi:

[madokie]

17. Thanks for the encouragement

He just had a very reasuring interview with brokejaw on meet the press this morning. If you haven't seen it yet please make the effort to watch it. I believe you will like what you hear.

[MsLeopard]

18. I'll be sure to catch it - thanks! n/t

12. As soon as Cheney loses access to the military and the bombs, all bets are off.

[madokie]

14. Thats what I think too

Cheney is the dangerous one, hes the ghoul with the plan, bushie is dangerous in the fact he is easy and will do anything asked of him in this fight for the heart of our democracy. This whole mess is soon to be exposed for what it is. I just hope I manage to stay here and to keep my senses so I can relish in the bringing down of very dangerous cabal.

19. He won't slink - he'll just stroll... & of course there will be hints of scandal and crime

because there already has been hints (and ever so much more) of scandals and crimes over the last 8 years...but he'll still stroll on out of office
