Now 2000+ are dead, $200 billion is spent, 15,000+ wounded and maimed, with no end in sight. Pretty expensive mistake. Don't we pay the president to get it right? Isn't this mistake alone enough to condemn him? Other people and countries — including the oft-maligned French — were telling him he was wrong. He ignored them all. He was determined to go to war, no matter what the real threats were. He did not use war as a last resort, as he said he would. I think that ignoring the truth, along with sending men into battle with faulty intelligence ought to be a punishable offense. "I know that if I cost our country 2000 lives and $200 billion I would be in big trouble. The president should be in big trouble. Getting it wrong ought to matter and it ought to have consequences. Getting it wrong certainly has had consequences for the 2000+ dead and the 15,000+ wounded and maimed. It certainly has consequences for all our citizens and for our economy. President Bush seems to be trying to pass the buck. Where does the buck stop? Don't we need to get people in there who don't make the kinds of mistakes that George W. Bush makes? Hmmm? "They got it wrong on pre-war intelligence, wrong on Katrina, wrong on tax cuts for the rich, wrong on cuts in benefits for the poor, wrong on burgeoning deficits. How much else are they wrong about? How long are we going to take it? George W. Bush and the Republicans are just Wrong for America. " |

Called 'Curious George' and written by a local man, here is the refrain: "Let's give more food to the overfed so they can feed the hungry More cash to the filthy rich so they can help the poor Let's give more power to the president to keep us safe and free Let's send more guns and bombs all around the world to plant the seeds of democracy" Curt Terrall Juneau, Alaska |

He aint got the savvy to make decisions for himself. Those same advisors (or more just like them) will be there for the next president/prime-minister/chancellor/idiot-in-charge. If it were otherwise, it would be a dictatorship, right? |
