ummm...There is. It's in "My Settings." It's really easy to find with a little digging.

You cannot educate or reason with the unwilling, so New Yorkers discovered post 911 trying to send their wishes to washington DC. NY knew they couldn't afford the dubious agendas afoot, and said so resoundingly with their vote (across the ENTIRE political spectrum).

I agree. There are a few people with enough integrity to be disgusted by what they see in the current administration. Two that come to mind are Ray McGovern and Scott Ritter.
But many more are like those largely represented on these boards, who are, as you stated, 'incapable' or unwilling. This clip is a reminder to people of how to stand up for the truth, instead of being force fed the pablum.

Well I noticed you decided to sit here and call me (or others) incapable or unwilling, while you seem to be uncapable or unwilling to answer questions asked directly to you.. Here, lets recap..

So much easier for you to just accuse without any facts, and then ignore those that question you.

Ibginnie- THANK YOU! As much as I hate to do it, I've learned that some 'gifts' people offer, you'd best not consider. Like STD's, intimate moments with sociopaths... and another episode of FOX news.

gorgeet- last post was preaching to the choir, I'm on the same page. I did learn what pablum meant though lol.
What no one has been able to explain to my satisfaction is why the check and balance of the judicial arm of our government has been hibernating for 7 + yrs now. Bush is answerable to no one? Have you heard a legit answer to that question?

International law, by our own standards (geneva convention is an agreement we made), Bush & company have been eligible to stand trial for war crimes. Shouldn't he be at the Hague by now?

subset grave breaches,
-depriving a prisoner of war a fair trial
-unlawful deportation/confinement/transfer
-torture (waterboarding)

Not really relevant since Congress issued a declaration of war against Iraq in October 2002.

I think you need to study international law. Bush and Cheney are protected by Functional Immunity until such time as they leave office.

It is relevant because the Cease-Fire agreement was still in effect and the fact that it was still in effect disproves the "illegal war" claim.
