When one thinks about it, all of America's departed servicemen during his reign died in acts of terror. That's usually what we'd call unprovoked attacks on sovereign nations propped up with either cooked evidence or no reason at all. Why are we absolved from that equation? Because we're "the good guys"??

Seriously, why isn't he in The Hague?

They have zero jurisdiction in the United States of America. It will never happen because it would be against international law. The only thing to be done is congress bring charges.

bastard was.
I hated living through his presidency. Cheney made it that much worse.
I avoided watching news and reading papers when I knew the "demonic-duo" would be headlining.
They are horrible beings.

The night of 9-11-2011 I lived in Pasadena, California; I remember lying in bed that night and hearing...nothing.
It was so silent. There were no planes in the skies. But from time to time a military jet would blast overhead.
I pictured Bush and Cheney wringing their hands and then going to bed with smiles on their faces.
Even though some of my friends said, "He's the president, you have to support him at times like these."
I just couldn't. He stole a U.S. election, and I couldn't trust him.

Looking back on it now, I liken that night to the Night of the Knives.

The unmitigated gall that it takes to say that shrub "kept us safe" is mind boggling!

I've heard two.

The first is to talk as if terrorism began on 9-11-01.

The second is to claim that this was Clinton's fault, because Bush had only been in office for nine months, as if that's a short amount of time. But they'll also blame Clinton for the other attack on the WTC back in '91, when he'd been president for... one month.
