George W. Bush, President of the United States
1) given documents he thought were true
2) failed to thoroughly investigate the facts
3) reported documents to the American people as true to make his case
4) when confronted with the facts: continued to report untruth and stonewalled an investigation
5) number of Americans dead: 1100
6) remedy: should be given four more years as President of the United States

How's that, again?

Of course, the whole WMD imminent-threat-to-the-US foofooraw was just a rationale to publicly justify what Shrub wanted to do anyway. It didn't, and doesn't, MATTER to the Bush administration that the documents they used to justify the invasion were false, because the whole justification was already a bold-faced lie in the first place.

clay, i don't want you to take offense, but I'm taking you off my friend's list. I can't read this Pro Bush stuff.

PRO Bush?

Uh, no. Not quite, babe. Misfire!

I don't think he should be fired. If he does it again, then they should throw his ass out so fast that there are grossly measurable relativistic effects. Now he's been burned once, and he'll be more careful.

As for President Bush? "NO! MORE! YEARS!"

Y'kno what would make the whole process a shitload more honest and make the fuckburgers who run a helluvsa lot more careful once they get into office?

6 year term, NO Re-elections! One-shot deal. And if you fuck up, there should also be a tribunal at the end of each presidency to determine if the president should be lauded or prosecuted.

I'm sick-to-tits with the whole process as it is... I think we should have a "Clean-slate" election, nation wide, No Incumbents allowed!
