They did it, Why Can't We?

[Stuart G]

Isreal did it
France did it.
Why can't we?

On December 7,the past President of Isreal, Mose Katsav went to jail after being found guilty of sexual assault one year earlier.
Two Days ago, past President of France, Jacques Chiric, was found guilty of corruption.

Why can't we do the same?
Is it against our laws or something?

[REP]

1. You mean prosecute Bush admin members? Why can't we?

[sabrina 1]

2. It's not against our laws. But there is something fishy about it.

5. Stinks...I think we could do it..

Didn't we go to the moon?
Didn't we invent computers?
Didn't we invent TV?
Didn't we win WWII?

shouldn't be that difficult?...Hell...didn't they impeach Clinton..what did he do?
lie about sex..
man you gotta be kidding...really?
don't most men do that????

9. Not only did I think we could do it, I thought we were GOING to do it.

Which is what we all worked so hard for. But as I said, it seems 'fishy' to me that no one in our government seems capable of doing their job in this regard. Very fishy.

3. Because the corporatocracy won't allow it.

It's given every Bush since Prescott and Ronald Reagan, to name a few, a pass.

6. That is mostly the reason

The other is that Democrats don't have the nerve to drag the country through the ordeal of prosecuting them.

If it were a Democratic President who to the country to an illegal war and tortured people, the republicans would be all over prosecution.

4. Because too many people think of the President as "Der Führer" rather than a civil servent.

8. Maybe after the election it would be neat to see.......

George W. Bush try to tell the truth...under oath..
Don't think I recall that one.

[NorthCarolina]

7. Because Wall Street says "NO", and their politicians,

having already been bought and paid for, say "OK"?

[Stuart G]

10. I don't care about Wall Street.

If they can get Clinton to testify under oath, then they can get Bush to do the same.

Somehow.

Then they can get him charged with perjury after he lies.
It is that simple..
At least a trial would make him lie again, and again.
A jury could decide if he was telling the truth.

[NorthCarolina]

11. The GOP House led by Newt Gingrich is what

forced Clinton to testify under oath because it was in the interest of the 1% to discredit Democrats, and what better way to do so than through Clinton. You might not care about the Wall Street 1%, but those in Congress that have the power and authority to bring Bush & Co. to trial DO care what the 1% has to say, they work for them, and because of that there will be no trial, not even an inquiry, now or ever. 100% guarantee.
