Chafee says Bush must offer facts to Americans on Iraq

To regain credibility they not only have to be factually accurate with future discussion regarding the war, but they need to COME CLEAN about past discussions of the war. Unfortunately for BushCo, ANY discussion about the run up to war will completely destroy any and all credibility they have ever had, and lead to impeachment proceedings.

Therefore, this administation has LOST all credibility, and no amount of truth-telling now can get it back. The only way to restore credibility to the WH is for the Rethuglicans in power now to leave. That's the only way! Period!

I've been observing Chaffee, and notice that he has consistently denounced Bush's imperialist and military "adventures". He's even denounced the saber rattling and anti-Venezuelan rhetoric from Condi Rice and her boss.

Spoke out against the CIA assisted coup to oust Chavez three years ago, denounced policy's that preach democracy out of one side of this administrations mouth while saber rattling and demonizing elected leaders in South America and elsewhere, (including Haiti)just because we don't like those administration's policies.

I don't like the way he votes on some domestic policies, (some Dems vote conservative for that matter) but i really appreciate his common sense, rational thinking regarding foreign policy, it is definitely not about trying to build an Amerikan Empire.

Granted i don't think his statement goes far enough, but coming from a Republican, it's a rare breath of fresh air.

but still, even Republican's (at least those living in reality) should be willing to admit that Bush has almost ZERO credibility at this point. Can you think of any other president who has had his VP chief of staff indicted for perjury and still maintained a shred of credibility? In fact, can you think of a president in a similar scenario that was able to remain in office?

Neither can I...

He did say "canyon-sized cracks" in regard to the Administration's credibility. That's a lot closer than you'll get with any other Republicans I know of.

Sen. Chuck Hagel (Nebraska):

"They are more honest than we are."

the president needs to offer honest and factual specifics about the war...

There's NOTHING honest or factual about these treasonous rat bastards!:grr:

Peace.

but I promised to spend the money in responsible ways, would it matter to the judge? Would it matter to those whose money I stole?

Look, this was the biggest heist in the history of mankind.

is worth framing. If only every American could read this, they'd throw the thugs out.

I'd like some answers regarding this stuff: http://www.freedomunderground.org/memoryhole/pentagon.php. Also: Have any of you gone to the inplanesite website? I really think there is something to this, and if anyone is wondering where the real planes went, etc... maybe they were the ones taking all the Bin Ladens out of the country. Those planes would not necessarily have to return to the States, right? Just some food for thought.

You have some very valid questions. There is a forum just for this topic where you will find lots of information and interest in this topic. Check it out:

Again, welcome, and thanks for chiming in.

I'd never heard anything like that.

Welcome to DU

I also think some guy a few months back did a documentary on 911 and they questioned the authenticity of the Pentagon crash being what it was that they told us at the time, didn't jive.

It would have been nice if one could have control the footage on that documentary, it was to fast to even read.

and impeach him, too.

Bush always knew this war would be unpopular. That's why his campaign for it was always based on a) Joe Citizen won't be asked to contribute a dime and it will be fought by volunteers b) it'll be over in a glorious victory quickly and c) we're all gonna die if we don't do it.

Telling us that it's not going to be over quickly is the kiss of death. Telling us that it isn't making us safer is the kiss of death. Lies are all Bush has to get backing for his war. So it was in the beginning, so it is now.

Example: when they leaked the truth that Valerie Plame was a CIA operative--

But how often do they tell the truth?
