If the Bush administration is not brought to justice it will set a precedent for future

administrations. And sooner or later we will have another gang of thugs in there, (I pray it is much later but we have to be realistic) and if there is no justice for Bush's crimes then they will feel free to do the same...or worse

When people say we should "look forward" yes LOOK FORWARD and set the precedent that their type of crimes are not ever let to happen again. Otherwise I am afraid what is going to happen years from now when our children are adults in this country.

Remember how they got into the White House the first time. Election fraud. And people rallied around determined that it not happen again and in this last election it didn't. Some people were thrown in jail for their part in the fraud and that is a good thing because it probably caused others who may have had the inclination to do the same thing......to step down instead.

So LOOK FORWARD President Obama and protect us against these horrible abuses when you are no longer president.



"Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it."

George Santayana

If President Obama stands in the way of any crimes that might be uncovered against the Bush Administration, then he owns them as well.

is uncovered. He will be complicit in those crimes if he choses not to, regardless of the reason.

If no one is above the law, then their crimes simply cannot be ignored, nor can they go unpunished. Period.

No American administration has ever, ever prosecuted a previous administration. Ever. And Bush is hardly the first to abuse power. There's your precedent.

going back to FDR's administration it's been the same gang of thugs and/or their descendents that get by with criminal activity because it's for "the good of the country" not to prosecute them and each time they get by with it they come back worse than ever.

If Obama does not allow them to be prosecuted any ground we regain during his administration will be loss the next time these crooks get their hands on power.

about the whole idea of looking for past abuses. I think I remember him saying he wanted to "look forward".

Either way I think this is a seriously important issue that needs more exposure.

abuses enabled Bushco. It has to stop.

And I can't think of another administration perpetrated crimes to the level the Bush administration did. He broke all the records time and again over.

:grr:

I'd trace to when Prescott Bush and his pals only got slaps on the wrist for trading with the Nazis. And ol' Prescott turns around and gets himself elected to the Senate. The Connecticut Republicans annual dinner is named for Grandpa Bush. You have wonder about a political party that would name one of its big events after a traitor.

have been collectively murdered by this filthy family so they could enrich themselves?

about Barbara Bush's health and say a prayer for her and her kin?:puke:

The Bush family really hates this country, don't they?

his administration, and our country..doesn't that give everyone warm fuzzies!

Because no one is allowed to ask the questions, let alone initiate action against the
deaths caused in military actions initiated by presidents.

because I'm so full of love n'shit. It's all about me me me!

contrary to what we claim, the U.S. is NOT "a nation of laws, and not of men," but precisely the opposite . . . how can we pretend to set an example for the rule of law elsewhere when we can't/won't even make it work here? . . .

distasteful as it may be to some, the prosecution of a former U.S. president and his cronies is not an option -- it is essential if we are to be who we claim to be as a nation . . .
