Releasing these damning truths, tossing them out almost as a gauntlet, an apologia; depending on ones readiness to forgive and ones ability to control a lake of bile; to turn truths into lies, now in an attempt to regain our floundering soul. An act that may at best mitigate the pain and damage caused our collective, severely cachectic soul. This severe guilt, forced on us by the blatant crimes of the Cheney cabal were never prosecuted for their obvious criminally insane and sadistic war crimes; that many of us who lived through the 2nd world war and the following trials at Nuremberg; and many younger on this site, saw as a deadly boulder steamrolling at our collective sanity; as shortly after Obama was sworn in; he immediately broke his bluster and electioneering promises to put the criminals on trial; for which I and many of us voted for; an original sin and a thing that has ruined his legacy no matter what good works he miraculously performs.
Long will we live under this dangerous storm cloud, ready and willing to dump savage rage on us at every international endeavor.
There is only one way to cleanse our collective soul; it is to prosecute the guilty; and all of us know who many of these folks are as they claim little knowledge of this soul rending criminal affair.
The missed opportunity of prosecuting these criminals would point out to the world that a rogue agency and a stolen presidency, fraudulently went against the laws of this country and the world to force a war under false pretence and a fog of war in which to fleece this and other countries of great wealth.
I and I suspect many others have long suffered under the furious anger that these sadistic criminals fraudulently perpetrated under our names; with no conscience or consequence, still damaging this country at every attempt to set it right, with the most blatant lies, seeping into every action this country now takes.
The proposed pardoning of these murderous and torturous criminals and their crimes with sick twisted sexual undertones, is at best a poor palliative with dubious intent for our collective, endangered soul and will not only be a major footnote on Obamas legacy, it will be his legacy, just as it is Fords; while Fords pardon was an internal affair over a break in, Obamas proposed pardon for fraudulent and murderous war crimes that were an international world changing action; or non action on Obamas part to not clean up the mess left from a murderous and world changing and history changing actions with somewhat the same import in the end, as history will record, as the Nuremberg trials; PROPOSED TO BE PARDONED!
