A Reputation in Tatters

 

George W. Bush and his gang of neocon warmongers have destroyed

America's reputation. It is likely to stay destroyed, because at this

point the only way to restore America's reputation would be to impeach

and convict President Bush for intentionally deceiving Congress and the

American people in order to start a war of aggression against a country

that posed no threat to the United States.

 

America can redeem itself only by holding Bush accountable.

 

As intent as Republicans were to impeach President Bill Clinton for

lying about a sexual affair, they have a blind eye for President Bush's

far more serious lies. Bush's lies have caused the deaths of tens of

thousands of people, injured and maimed tens of thousands more,

devastated a country, destroyed America's reputation, caused 1 billion

Muslims to hate America, ruined our alliances with Europe, created a

police state at home, and squandered $300 billion dollars and counting.

 

America's reputation is so damaged that not even our puppets can stand

the heat. Anti-American riots, which have left Afghan cities and towns

in flames and hospitals overflowing with casualties, have forced Bush's

Afghan puppet, " President " Hamid Karzai, to assert his independence

from

his U.S. overlords. In a belated act of sovereignty, Karzai asserted

authority over heavy-handed U.S. troops whose brutal and stupid ways

sparked the devastating riots. Karzai demanded control of U.S. military

activities in Afghanistan and called for the return of the Afghan

detainees who are being held at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay in

Cuba.

 

Abundant evidence now exists in the public domain to convict George W.

Bush of the crime of the century. The secret British government memo

(dated July 23, 2002, and available here), leaked to the Sunday Times

(which printed it on May 1, 2005), reports that Bush wanted " to remove

Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of

terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed

around the policy. . . . But the case was thin. Saddam was not

threatening his neighbors, and his WMD capability was less than that of

Libya, North Korea or Iran. . . . The (United Kingdom) attorney general

said that the desire for regime change was not a legal base for

military

action. There were three possible legal bases: self-defense,

humanitarian intervention or UNSC (U.N. Security Council)

authorization.

The first and second could not be the base in this case. Relying on

UNSCR 1205 of three years ago would be difficult. "

 

This memo is the mother of all smoking guns. Why isn't Bush in the

dock?

 

Has American democracy failed at home?
