Can't we let Bush save face?
Edited on Sat Mar-10-07 10:05 PM by texastoast
You know, when you kick the shit out of a guy (and no one deserves getting the shit kicked out of themselves more than George W. Bush, Kurrent-King-Kon), the victorious shitkicker with a little sportsmanship will allow said shit to have a little dignity in the inevitable tailtuck.

We can tell George, "Hey! WE WON!"

You said it: "Mission Accomplished."

We kicked their asses.


NOW BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW!

On edit: This does not mean to not hold him accountable. Bush is the best candidate for impeachment I believe the country has ever had.

3. If there was a way for him to 'save face' and we'd end this travesty,
I'd be all for it. Ain't gonna happen because of him, not us.

So, no. :)

4. Not 'till his teeth are lying scattered all over the asphalt.
I mean that metaphorically, of course...

8. I'd like to see the legal system hereabouts offer a little shock'n'awe
to lil' Dubya for all his administration's lies and deceits.

Lying us into war was just one of a long list of matters we need to look at before he wobbles out of office in that fake cowboy stride of his.

And I'm encouraged by some of the reports coming out now about Mueller and Gonzales. Let's have a very scrutinous look at those two, right off the bat.

11. Donald Rumsfeld was never my favorite person, but once he was
Sec. of Defense, what teensy standing he may have had plummeted.

What a monstrous human being he is.

19. How about this: Get the troops out of Iraq NOW and we won't impeach you.
I don't like that option, but I could live with it if it means protecting our soldiers.

Peace

25. Something to get them home right away
I don't like the idea of him walking at all, but I have to wonder if it is the right thing to not give him an out if we could, like you say, protect the innocent more. I would really like to see him spend the rest of his days living in shame like Richard Nixon did. No, wait. Bush deserves far more shame than Nixon. Nixon kept his evil mostly within the political circle. Bush has spewed his to the four corners.

21. Who has won? Where?
I haven't seen anything like a victory over the Dictator's regime. He has just upped the number of troops in his big "surge" from 21,500 to 25,000 and added another billion dollars to the "surge's" price tag. He has purged the Justice Department's lawyers and thumbed his nose at the congress. Where is this "victory" you talk about?

24. HELL no. And here's why:
I would like for W to be so bereft of liberty (e.g., JAIL) and dignity that the next sorry SOB who gets elected - and thanks to the Republican noise machine another sorry SOB will get elected sometime - won't risk trying nearly so much as W has.
