Bush Regime's Tipping Points

Investigations into Cheney's lobbying and influence on behalf of his former employer, Halliburton in obtaining several no-bid contracts in the reconstruction of Iraq and overcharging the U.S. and squandering countless billions. The Defense Contract Audit Agency found overpricing and waste in Iraq contracts amounting to $4.9 billion since 2003. They found $10 billion in overpriced contracts or undocumented costs, more than $2.7 billion attributed to Halliburton.

Investigations into the intelligence used to justify the Iraq invasion, including the use of false claims regarding Iraq’s attempts to get uranium from Niger.

Questions about the Bush administration's preparation for and response to Katrina, including waste, fraud, and abuse in the awarding of reconstruction contracts.

Questions about deleted White House e-mails, including electronic messages from Karl Rove and other administration officials in the probe of the firing of eight U.S. attorneys.

Hearings about troop readiness and whether soldiers are being deployed to Iraq without proper training and equipment and to what extent the Iraq occupation is burdening the other functions of our military defense capabilities. Hearings on the neglect in military veteran health care.

Hearings into contract oversight at the Pentagon and heavy cost overruns at Northrop Grumman, Boeing and Lockheed Martin plus controversial bonus payments made to these contractors.

Investigations into whether the Environmental Protection Agency scientists have been pressured by the administration to fix up the data regarding pollutants governed by our clean air and water laws to effectively exempt industries from complying. Politicizing and tampering with climate change science and scientists.

Investigations into the 485 lobbying contacts between Abramoff and his associates and White House officials. In one e-mail exchange revealed during the Abramoff investigation, a White House official said: "It is better to not put this stuff in writing in . . . email system because it might actually limit what they can do to help us, especially since there could be lawsuits, etc."

Other offenses ripe for congressional action are the unwarranted spying on Americans, the Executive responsibility for the Iraqi prison abuses, the renditions and secret CIA prisons, the uses of public funds for propaganda within the U.S., and violating laws behind the administration's unprecedented use of 'signing statements' attached to legislation.
