I agree with you that we should have hoped to see at least a Commission ...maybe a Special Prosecutor. But, by now the MIC is so thoroughly in charge, none of that was or is possible. Even the "9/11 Commission" was so flawed that we are still living with the after effects of it which goes into the hypocrisy of his address. I know in GB there have been some pretty strong efforts to go after Tony Blair with special investigations and there was evidence that Blair and Bush colluded before the Invasion of Iraq. It got a lot of press and then sort of died away.
Obama should have found a different way to approach the Crimea situation than what he said which was so hypocritical shoving it into faces those of us on the Left who knew how wrong and illegal the Iraq Invasion was and the rest of the countries who are suffering under our drone strikes, Libyan Invasion after effects and the abomination of our paying "Insurgents & Military Contractors" with our tax dollars to destabilize the Middle East.
Anyway...thought you might have missed that insight about pardoning Nixon and what happened with Clinton. I hadn't thought about that in awhile..and that does fit into why Obama is constricted. But, it's a pattern he has that he doesn't seem to want to get involved in prosecuting the wrong doings he Could Get Involved With. Wall Street an the rest that causes us to wonder...what he is about.
Nice to see you around here.
