Steven Green and Uday Hussein both committed the same crime, so why is the media's treatment of them so different?

you will find that there is no credible evidence supporting the government's account of what happened that day, either.

None, as in ZERO.

Almost seven years have passed and still no real investigation has been conducted, why?

It's time to call the charade what it is, brothers and sisters, and take our country back from the sociopaths that hijacked it long ago.

The truth shall set us free.

Love is the only way forward.

This needs to be criminally prosecuted. These criminals need to be in prison.

If you go to the MSNBC website and watch Countdown with Keith Olbermann from last night, he interviewed Ron Suskind. He also interviewed John Dean on this subject. (Sorry, I don't have the link)

This is the proof needed to prosecute.

Impeachable and Criminal offense under 18 USC sec. 371 if not Murder..!

Technically as explained last night by John Dean if this is true and can be substantiated they would be guilty of a criminal violation under 18 USC sec. 371 which brought down most of those caught up in Watergate...

This would be undeniably an Impeachable offense..and criminal offense, and also arguably as Bugliosi contends potentially murder charges as well...!

It is rather encouraging to see the truth coming out albeit too late for the 1.2 million dead Iraqis and thousands of dead Afghanis.

It took nearly a century for the AmeriKKKan ruling elite to fess up the blowing up of USS Maine.

I'm sure brunowe and other brownshirt trolls will soon go into overdrive to spin this story.

And yet little is really being said about this.
Certainly proof of this should be the fall of this administration but it is as though we are numb to one more story of Bush and Cheney lying to us. "Oh, yeah, add it to the list." This is the big one folks!

The smoking guns are everywhere.

Enough for a firing squad.

Now there's an idea.

More reason to impeach
Posted by: Grandma Crabby on Aug 7, 2008 9:42 AM

I think Al Capone was a more moral, law abiding citizen that George W.

They should have been impeached a long time ago, now it's really too late.

But being the procrastinator that I am, I just yesterday posted my masterpiece video, "Impeachment, it's not just for blow jobs anymore!"

If I do say so myself, it's pretty durn funny. Go give yourself a laugh so you won't cry!

Luv,
Granny

One Way for Change

This administration has been given carte blanche by this Congress to do whatever they want! Their lack of actions (i.e impeachment, criminal charges, etc.) against this President and this administration is a slap in the face to all the American people. No matter how many crimes pile up, this Congress does nothing. Don't these Democrats that we elected into the majority of both houses get it?! We, the American people, are tired of this administration trampling on the Constitution and their other egregious acts and wanted them to do something about it.

There is one thing that we can do to send a message to this Congress and that one thing is for the people that reside in Nancy Pelosi's district not to re-elect her! REMOVE NANCY PELOSI AS SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE BY NOT RE-ELECTING HER! SEND THE MESSAGE! I believe Cindy Sheehan is running against her in that district. I suggest people vote for her.

An internal explosion sank the Maine. The explosives of the day ignited easily especially under hot conditions and without airconditioning. The plates of the wreck showed clearly an internal detonation since they were bent away from the hull. Lieing is nothing new in politics, except that the Bushit built up a record of lies and deceit with help of his Dick and the other neocons. They should face Saddams fate.

How many "smoking guns" any one of which should've toppled the bush crime family, have been unearthed to no consequence? It's time for an end to bullshit politics, and a beginning of charges, prosecutions, guilty verdicts, and jail time for the sorry lot.

I will be really surprised if this gets more than just another "ho hum".

There is already more than enough documented lawlessness by this administration to put them away for several life times, or even put to death (especially given that George W. is so found of capital punishment, and believes it should be used at every opportunity).

Isn't this treason?

Isn't treason defined as undermining of ones government? If not treason at least sedition....both are crimes and treason is punishable by death. Why do we have to impeach Bush and Cheney first??? We never had to impeach anyone else we fried for treasonous acts against our country.
