How far will the Republicans go to protect Bush, Cheney, and Rummy?

[keithyboy]

If Saddam is resonsible for Iraq atocities under his regime, Bush is responsible for atocities under US occupation.

Saddam had 30 years to be responsible for thousands of deaths so it is charaged. At the rate the US has killed Iraqis in the 3 years of Bush's administration, how many will the total be in 30 years?

1. They believe they are untouchable

Therefore they will circle the horses until the cows come home

[Mountainman]

2. Repubs rarely use their logic on themselves.

Saddam is responsible for the tortures in pre war Iraq. Bad apples are responsible for torture in war torn Iraq. Saddam never had any bad apples. All orders came from on high. Bush, on the other hand, as a few bad apples under his command. Bush is not responsible for torture.

3. Party Power control over Representation of Democracy

[Oddman]

6. They will never accept responsibility for all the bad

that has happened. They haven't so far and they never will . . .


As President Bush put it, they are an exceptional "few bad apples"
whose actions "do not reflect the nature of our country."

[Norquist Nemesis]

9. Bullseye! n/t

[JETS]

4. ALL THE WAY TO HELL! n/t

[AlCzervik]

5. They will support and spin

until it affects their own personal poll numbers in what ever state they hail from. Once it touches them all bets ore off.

7. Unknown, perhaps as far as the Nazis or Commies

We shall see. I offer no opinions on which I think is most likely.

From here, it could get better and it could get MUCH worse.

Only time will tell...

[Texican]

8. Use the Military?

I have been wondering for a couple of years now if Bush is not mad enough to use the military to stop the November elections. Just a thought.

10. At This Point

At this point in time, I would not put anything pass these criminals.
Let's face facts, the military would jump at the snap of their fingers
we've already seen that in the Abu Ghraib situation.

If we choose to believe the soldiers who are being court martialed, the rest of the military will follow orders without question. Some brave souls might refuse, and even fight back, but the majority will do what they are told to do.

11. I think they'll stage...

...a "terra-ist" attack on Washington DC while congress is in session and Bush/Cheney/Rove/Rumsfeld are conveniently admiring the horses in Crawford. Sometime within a week before the election.

Without any members of congress, a State of National Emergency, Martial Law and Rectum Searching will be declared. The elections will be postponed until all the new Diebold machines have conveniently been installed.

At that point, you might as well be pushing the buttons on your phone to order an extra large pepperoni as push the buttons on the Diebold machine to vote.

Hopefully, I'll be old enough to retire and vacate to some semi-tropical paradise before every registered Democrat is declared an "enemy combatant" and shipped off to a Forced Labor Re-education Camp in Montana or Idaho.

12. As far as disgracing the USA....

then wrapping themelves in jesus and the flag.

[trof]

13. How far do you have?

Because they will go just as far as they can go.
There is no limit, except voting them out.

[maggrwaggr]

14. I don't think you'd find much support for that outside of DU

I don't think Bush used to be an assassin. I don't think Bush has ever taken one of his cabinet members outside and shot him in the head (this was Joseph Wilson who said this).

It's a silly comparison. Saddam personally killed and abused people, Bush (probably) has not. Bush is too much of a pansy, he'd rather do it from the comfort of his bunker, by others, so he can listen to God talk to him and tell him who else he should have killed.
