Prosecuting bush, Cheney, Rummy & Condi: Little People Who Had Big Titles

[stopbush]

There's a reluctance to prosecute people who held lofty titles like President of the United States of America. We're going to hear a lot from the RW and even some Ds that to prosecute a former president and his cabinet and staff for what they did while in office is an attack against the office.

But the fact is that the bush cabal was made up of a bunch of little people, little people who stole their way into office with the help of a RW SCOTUS. They were unsuited for office from Day One, and things never improved. They were never up to the job because they could never be up to the job. They were incapable of doing the job.

And so, like most people who are in over their heads, they made up their own rules, broke the existing rules and hoped that nobody would ever find out. Unfortunately, doing such things on the world stage from the most powerful political office in the world has consequences that don't attend to pulling the same routine at Mc Ds the day they you're put in the position of running the deep fat fryer when you've only been trained to mop the floors and take out the trash.

If we look at bushco as a bunch of pretenders, a bunch of fakes, a bunch of little people who willingly stole their way into positions for which they were absolutely unqualified for and which they sought to retain through lies and law breaking, then we realize that prosecuting them does not constitute an attack on the offices they held..because those offices were never legally theirs to hold, and their holding them for eight years served to demean those offices and to bring disgrace on our country.

2. Fix "...for which they were absolutely unqualified for..." and I'm right there with you. K&R n/t

3. Under the Bush Administration the US betrayed the global

commitment to preserve human rights. We have one opportunity to right that wrong. There is no turning back. To prosecute or not prosecute should
no longer be an option. We are either a humane people or we are third world thugs.

7. doctrine

The Nixon doctrine of "If the President does it, it's not illegal" has to be crushed and obliterated so that it never harms America again.

I think prosecution of all Bush War Criminals would go along way in to burying this doctrine so that it doesn't screw up America again in the future.

If these monarch like powers are not vaporized, then, in the future America may not have a White House that was as nice as GWB was, that could end up doing some real damage!

8. Yup, they're "little people" all right

Imagine it's March of 2000.

Could you have imagined a government that's staffed with a self-appointed megalomaniac, a few former Nixon officials, a token black woman with no government experience, various vicious party hacks (OK, that was predictable) and headed up by a failed businessman who distinguished himself by his father's former glory?

You'd have called anyone who predicted that crazy. You would have said it would lead to disaster.

And you'd be right.
