The presidency of the United States is NOT a position of power. It is a position of responsibility. Abusing the presidency by making bad decisions (invade Iraq without investing in security after the war) with conflicts of interest (saving money for Halliburton no-compete contracts) that results in death (especially American and Iraqi) is Criminal.
This is not flamebait and I am not trolling. I'm wondering if GOP astroturfers are jumping on my comments. (like this one: "Why wasn't Bush arrested?"
For the people of this country to reject a president who is a criminal is the greatest expression of a free people. Of course it is an inflammatory point of view (and using "BushCheneyCriminals" is offensive), and I am not an eloquent speaker for this point of view. But it is too important to ignore.
Bush lied about Saddam presenting a clear and present danger to the United Stats. Then he incompetently started a war with absolutely no planning for postwar security. Without security American troops and Iraqi civilians are picked off and slaughtered every day.
This at least constitues criminal negligence that has resulted in death. That makes it manslaughter. At least 1000+ counts for the American troops alone.
Who cares who wins the election - Bush/Cheney shouldn't even be eligible. They should be awaiting trail instead.
My previous post: here
was marked as troll. I hope another moderator will disagree and give my post a chance at visibility.
If congress decided for impeachment proceedings against this administration for legitimate concerns I don't think it would be considered trolling.
I just want to hear arguments for and against the ideas I put forth.
Since I am unaware of anyone else doing it, I would like to collect arguments for whether Bush and Cheney should face criminal charges for the following things:
1. The Iraq war was a distraction from the war on terror, not part of it. It only became part of the war on terror after, under Bush/Cheney leadership, the war was executed incompetently (at the leadership, not serviceperson, level). Did Bush/Cheney purposefully destabilize and Iraq and not secure the country to draw the terrorists in? What would Iraqis think of this plan? Is there evidence that this was the plan and in exactly what way is it against U.S. law?
2. Cheney pushed for the war with a clear and obvious conflict of interest, as just former CEO of Halliburton, who is profiting tremendously from the war. Since American patriot servicemen and women have died in the pursuit of profit for Cheney, what specific criminal charges should Cheney face?
3. Once the mistake to invade Iraq was decided, the war was executed incompetently and negligently by Bush. Does this constitue criminal misconduct?
I am trying to collect legal advice and evidence on this topic. Please post here or on my/. journal.
I will summarize any information collected and post to a future threads. Of course I don't know if anyone is interested in helping to pursue this. I believe it is important for citizens of the United States to recognize and reject the serious illegal actions of this administration. I believe this course should be pursued no matter what the outcome of the election next month.
Is the claim that they will donate patent profits to charities supposed to somehow justify this anticompetitive abuse of the patent system?
What Charity? They'll probably take a page from Microsoft's book and donate Sun hardware and software to schools or libraries. In other words, the money will still generate revenue for Sun!
