Our President is a Criminal
Daniel Patrick Welch

It's well past time to say it. Despite the weaseling and finger-pointing--in fact, because of it--the Forged Niger letter is indeed the smoking gun, and the chips have yet to stop falling. Who wrote the damn thing, and on whose orders? Who cares whether Tenet, his job on the line, acquiesced to including a literal truth that actually amounts to one of the great frauds of the century? The sheer audacity and cynicism of this coterie of hacks and hustlers is simply astounding. As a teacher, I won't let six-year-olds get away with such transparent sophistry. The bottom line is that Bush knew the information was bogus, and used it anyway to convince millions to go along with his phony war.

For that alone, for the memory of the thousands of dead Iraqis and Americans, he deserves the il Duce treatment (figuratively speaking, Mr. Ashcroft-no need to start tapping my phone or putting me on no-fly lists). The criminal enterprise called the Bush administration is (Helen Thomas was right) the worst ever. Their campaign in furtherance of the conspiracy to defraud the public into buying the Iraq war is one of the the most cynical abuses of power in U.S. history. It deserves to be treated as such.

Alarmist? You bet. This guy already thinks (and occasionally tells foreign leaders) that he gets his orders from God. If these radical extremists can get away with this, then the dumbing down of America will be complete, and the stage will be set for the next wave of the nascent fascism. La Cosa Bush (apologies to the mafia) is, like all crime families, violent, arrogant, and beyond the reach of the law--so far. Bush's handlers no longer even have the decency, courage or self-restraint to prevent his criminally stupid comments from wreaking havoc around the globe. Was last week's pseudo-macho invitation to "Bring 'em on" even a mistake? Or was it another calculated ploy to make him look "tough" to the American people, playing to the ugliest side of the American psyche while once again enraging thinking people the world over. No matter--he must be stopped. This cabal has been lying, cheating, and manipulating national tragedy to force their right wing agenda down our throats long enough.

1. He's NOT MY PRESIDENT

other than that, it's a good article.

2. good rant

Future historians, unless they're an outgrowth of neocon propaganda, will likely judge this regime as the most criminal ever to befall our great nation.

My problem is, I can't wait that long for the truth to out.

3. Not just any criminal...

4. Thanks, this was a good article

As was the one on the 9/11 investigation, or lack of it. I have read some good articles in that particular publication before.

I agree with everything this guy is saying, though most of us have posted similar rants on DU. What I just cannot understand is how he is continuing to get away with all this. There has been a near-blackout in the mainstream press, but today you cannot turn on the television or pick up a newspaper without being greeted with some sound bite about the Niger forgeries. I'm glad that this story finally has legs, but it is old news.

The other question that I have is how Bush* can get away with saying that God told him to attack Iraq?! Anybody else who made such a claim would be locked up and put on anti-psychotic medication!:crazy:
