America failed to impeach Bush/Cheney as lying war criminals, I only hope we dont fail to prosecute them after they leave office for war crimes.

No they don't. The socialist/liberal media as well as those same politicians, especially in Europe, hates Bush. "The world hates Bush" is a bunch of nonsense, put forth by the media.

On what charges would they be impeached? Protecting the US from another attack? Killing the terrorists wherever and whenever they are found? Listening in to terrorists talking to each other?

In Vancouver, Lawyers Against the War filed torture charges against George W. Bush under the Canadian Criminal Code.

The charges concern the well known abuses of prisoners held by US Armed Forces in the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and the Guantánamo Bay prison in Cuba. The charges were accepted by the Justice of the Peace and referred for a hearing to decide whether Bush should be required to appear for trial.

Japanese lawyers have also filed a war crimes ‘indictment’ against Bush.
President Bush is being “indicted” for war crimes allegedly committed against the Afghan people since the U.S.-led coalition began its antiterrorism campaign in October 2001, a group of Japanese lawyers announced.

“We believe that attacks on Afghanistan led by the U.S. forces, such as aerial bombings and killings, were a violation of international law,” said Haruhisa Takase, secretary general of the Tokyo-based International Criminal Tribunal for Afghanistan.

A citizens’ tribunal Saturday in Tokyo found U.S. President George W. Bush guilty of war crimes for attacking civilians with indiscriminate weapons and other arms during the U.S.-led antiterrorism operations in Afghanistan in 2001.

Belgium’s justice ministry said legal authorities had received lawsuits against Bush, Blair and a host of senior U.S. officials for crimes against humanity in Iraq and Afghanistan.

This small list which displays just how much Bush is admired by the rest of the world is just the tip of the iceberg.

sickofnyc, I would suggest linking the source for your post, else you will get hit with a copyright violation, as I am 99% sure you didn't just pull that out of your hard drive (of course, if the source isn't credible I wouldn't worry about the afore mentioned copyright issue, but in that case it would invalidate your argument ).

Also, I feel the need to address these two;

The most recent hurricane predicted to be a Katrina v2 was not dangerous at all. This shows that despite the best technological advances in meteorology, hurricanes are still largely unpredictable. Last time they evacuated the city, it turned out to be a blunder and ultimately more criticism for Bush attempting to do the right thing.

I was a volunteer fireman for quite some time, and the first thing that any emergency personal learns is that sometimes you have to put your life on the line for others, I'm sorry if that offends you.


I could ramble on some of your other complaints, but I don't want to come across as a Bush supporter (which I am not). However, logic tramples anger and incompetence every time.

They are terrorists, go to Iraq and ask an Iraqi. They have suffered from terrorism since another nation invaded their country on the orders of these terrorists, George W. Bush and Richard Cheney.

It is clear that you do not understand that what happens on the floor of the Senate is documented for public knowledge.

Interesting. So, if all these statements were truly carried out by Bush himself, why is he still in office?

And still, copy and pasting from another website without giving credit is stealing. I don't care what congressman has it posted.
