Why isn't Bush's patriotism being questioned?

[noise]

Pro torture stance. UnAmerican, no proof it worked as claimed, helps terrorist recruiting, puts US soldiers at risk.

Claimed taking out Saddam was the right thing to do. No mention of the campaign of lies which deceived the public into going along with the invasion. No mention of the corrupt occupation agenda which helped create the insurgency.

This is really sick. What sort of society pretends this is ok?

[Bluebear]

1. Society can but follow our President's instruction to "move forward"

and not prosecute torture.

[noise]

2. The President is not a king

Nobody should pretend that betrayal of the public is ok because the current President wants to move on.

[Bluebear]

3. You asked. You want to revile Bush's pro-torture stance but forgive who doesn't want to prosecute.

It doesn't work both ways.

[noise]

4. I think we are in agreement

President Obama is out of line. He pretends he is looking out for the public good by avoiding divisiveness but that is not true. Pretending everything is ok is actually a betrayal of the public.

[avaistheone1]

5. Agreed.

Why have a judicial system if the best thing to do is "move on"?

[JI7]

7. even if the president prosecuted Bush's patriotism would not be questioned

in fact the president and anyone else who support prosecution would have their patriotism questioned.

[Echo In Light]

12. And that's precisely how one facet of the larger conspiracy works: Institutional Collusion

[Bluebear]

21. indeed

[avaistheone1]

6. Why is Bush not tried for his crimes?

[noise]

9. Evidently he gets a pass

because corruption and public betrayal are sold to the public as acts of patriotism.

[JI7]

8. because what many view as patriotism in this country has turned into supporting

right wing crap like torture.

don't most in america support torture ?

[Hubert Flottz]

10. What Patriotism?

[Turbineguy]

11. Fucking over the country

it's the New Patriotism.

[political_Dem]

13. Because he is white and republican.

Might as well tell the truth.

[Angry Dragon]

14. I believe there is a law that states

Any person that has money and power as their god, is white, republican, and has no soul, can not be tried for any crimes against humanity.

[spanone]

15. he just admitted to torturing and the world yawned...nobody seems to give a shit

[Bitwit1234]

16. The same bunch of people who

call Obama every name in the book. Who make pictures of him as criminal etc. Who think that is OK, but mess their pants when someone says something negative about Bush, and all his suspected criminal actions as president.

[lunatica]

17. With a little luck time will see Bush end the same way Saddam did

For now he's escaping unscathed. But life has a way of hounding criminals. Karmic adjustments happen all the time. Sometimes they happen right away and sometimes they take years to happen.

[lpbk2713]

18. Because he carries an (R) behind his name.

They have always been held to a different standard and probably always will be.

[Bluebear]

20. that too

[Mari333]

19. even better why isnt he being investigated or tried for war crimes?

says a lot about the current admin.

[kctim]

22. Thank Pelosi

wasn't she the one who said there was no evidence?
