we have met the enemy

President Bush has betrayed his office and the trust of the American people. Congress is finally beginning to act like they realize he’s only human and should be called to account for his misdeeds. What’s really interesting is that the herd is beginning to turn; the American people are slowly waking up, to smell the longhorn stew that’s been simmering in the crock up on Pennsylvania Ave.

Check out this post at the Post.

The overall results were written up in Tuesday’s story by Richard Morin and Claudia Deane: 45 percent of respondents said Bush should be censured or reprimanded for the warrantless wiretapping program while 53 percent said he should not. The response was more decisive on impeachment, with just one in three voters supporting such a move.

See? One third of Americans polled believe Bush should be impeached. That’s Amazing. Fewer people said Clinton should be impeached when his illicit affair was first revealed. [Link]

If Congress actually had the balls to hold hearings, this president would go down. And lest we forget, his crimes are far from victimless.

It’s not easy to find photos of Iraqi children that look like normal children. Mostly, they’re standing around corpses, climbing on disabled tanks, or lying in hospital beds, bleeding or with their skin burned off. Don’t believe me? Google away!

The war on Iraq never made any sense. It was not necessary. And now we’re facing far more real concerns, and our defenses are weakened, stretched thin. Our treasury has been drained of untold billions, for nothing but to get revenge on Saddam Hussein for trying to kill Bush’s dad. Isn’t this basically what ended the empire of Rome?

We have met the enemy, and we have elected him.
