You guys really are a pair of small nutballs.

Here is the actual quote which you and Sawz are so merrily taking out of context.

September 4, 2008

"George W. Bush has abused the authority that we, the people, entrusted to him as commander-in-chief of our military forces.

Bush has expressed his desire to keep our military forces in Iraq. Consider what has happened to our economy, plus all of the American casualties in this "Bush conflict," which has cut off our crude oil imports from the big oil-producing nations, which has caused the totally unreasonable oil prices to get out of hand.

The Iraqi government and the Iraqi people don't want America in their nation, just as the people from Georgia do not want Russia in their nation. Bush is squealing like a stuck pig at Russia for doing the same thing he did to Iraq.

We American citizens do not want Russia to control Georgia, and we certainly do not want our armed forces or our tax money wasted in Iraq.

The "Bush government" is totally un-American. In my 81 years, Bush is the only president who promoted torture of prisoners. Our economy has gone to pot during this Bush watch.

I would be in favor of having Bush impeached before he leads us into World War III."

— Gordon Lukkasson, Salem, MA

Mister Lukasson's opinio0n about Bush's impact on oil supply -- as you will plainly see above -- is one aspect of his view of the Bush administration. It may be an inaccurate part, and I haven't researched the impact of Bush's war to assess the degree of negative impact it may have had on oil imports. For example, providing guard-free munitions dumps to all comers at the start of the Iraq invasion may in fact have cost us in oil supply. Point is, I do not have any data with which to speculate about the grounds on which Mister Lukasson is basing his assertion. My own view, since you ask, is that he is probably mistaken about that particular point.

But far more important, I believe, is that the truest part of that post--one out of some 1196, I believe--is that Lukasson believes, for reasons which are much less debatable than this one, that Bush should, by rights, be impeached from office for good and sufficient reason. Economic ebbs and flows are not part of that equation, obviously, since they are not part of the actionable charges listed in the Constitution. THe other serious derelictions of duty Mister Lukasson mentions, however, are.

So perhaps you jolly 'bots could shake your heads really hard and start to focus on the relevant, the important, the consequential and the actual for a change, instead of chattering about ragtag bits and shards like a bunch of doolallies dancing in your cutty sarks.
