If Kerry Wins, Bushco. Know They Are Vulnerable to Potential prison terms
A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL

As Americans are burned and desecrated by "liberated" Iraqis, revelations about the Bush administration's "slash and burn" campaign against patriot Richard Clarke continue to emerge. The Washington Post revealed that White House Legal Counsel Alberto Gonzales placed calls to some Republican members of the 9/11 Commission before they tried to discredit Clarke.

Of course, FOX News, the White House television propaganda outlet, distributed information to GOP members of the panel around the same time, aimed at undermining Clarke's veracity. Meanwhile an MSNBC online news report, since removed, quoted a White House source as indicating that the CIA would look through Clarke's 2002 testimony to cherry pick what would be declassified "with an eye toward pointing out contradictions."

Even the much-headlined retreat by the Bush Politburo to "allow" Rice to testify under oath is less than it appears. No other administration official will be called before the panel under oath, as part of the agreement to obtain Rice -- and Bush and Cheney -- like the dummy and his ventriloquist -- will appear before the commission together and in private. Of course, this is designed to prevent the two of them from contradicting each other -- and to allow Cheney to be close enough to Bush that the commission members won't see him pulling the strings when George W. talks.

But you can bet, Cheney will be doing most of the lying for the two of them.

1. There's too many people boldly ready to "Shock & Awe" the Bush..
..Whitehouse about their manipulations and profiteering agenda. Many are yet to present case after case of truths that have been censored so far.
There are too many people boldly ready to "Shock & Awe" George Bush.
This Bush mis-administration has crapped all over our long held proud beliefs, and what I see happening, is that this Bush Co. ball of crap is rolling downhill, picking up speed and size with every secret exposed.
From Clark, to O'Neil, Plame to the Air America talk team, its all making for one great big ball of Bush crap, and its heading downhill directly towards the big fan! Shock and Awe is coming back at Bush with a vengance...
There is NO stopping it..we've all been good little patriots and quietly stayed in a constant state of submission, deemed so by Bush, his media hacks and Ashcroft, whilst they profiteered, and embezzled every last cent from the American taxpayers.

I do not see that anything Bush attempts, ever again, will stop those who have waited with great patience and pain, to expose the greedy pilfering of this great United States by GW Bush and the Republican Party.

Its OVER for GWBush. He will never be able to coverup all the crimes of his administration. Too many people are talking and we're not about to be silenced again.
Not any more.
This is a Nation of, by, and for ALL the people and george bush is NOT the King.
Bush & Co. have much to answer for, and the Shock and Awe of it all is just beginning.

5. In fact, we could use...
...LBJ-era polling numbers (at the end of his second term). I hate to downplay Lyndon Baines like that (he's one of my favorite Democrats ever), but his approval ratings in 68-69, I think, were somewhere around 36-37%. That would shock the administration into submission.

8. This sounds cynical...
but it's realistic.

The same powers that be that manipulated us into selecting Kerry as the Dem Candidate are the same powers behind Bushie. They won't let Bush be prosecuted. They'll get away with it.

Do your research. Kerry is a fellow Bonesman. He won't go after The Bushies. A back room deal, or something, will let them wriggle free.

Look at Iran Contra. The Kerry Committee supposedly investigated, presented "evidence,' but much like the current 9-11 Commission, the idea is to COVER UP THE REAL STORY. Did we EVER hear the REAL story of Iran Contra? Kerry and other Dems, like Lee Hamilton, were put in charge to give the appearance of a real investigation, put it all on Ollie North, and let the others get away.

Kerry did so. Now he's getting his reward. The real secrets and crimes will never come out. They'll only be the purview, rightly or wrongly, of so-called "conspiracy theorists" and "internet wacko's" like ME.
