Suppose Bush ordered the Berg beheading
suppose this was proven, would THAT be enough to impeach him? I'm not so sure these days...

9. You are correct. W is unimpeachable.
And it looks like 35% of the American people believe just that:
the hand of W is guided by the will of god.

4. God forbid ... but it's not like this administration isn't famous for ...
shock and awe dirty tricks ... just ask Sen. McCain's family ... ugh!

Of course, it would be CIA covert and we would never find out the truth, just in case they actually stooped to these levels to regain "control of the message"

6. The Berg beheading is heartbreaking for all of us
It is NOT good for Bush. the murder is being seen as a revenge killing

21. Don't you worry, it will be spun by Rove et al
This is why we are fighting these monsters, this is why we need $500 billion dollars of your money. This is why we need to hunt down and kill every terrorist. Just like we won the war on drugs we will win the war on terror with bombs and bullets. We don't care if drug use is at an all time high after a 30 year war on drugs. We can change the ideology of a people with bombs and bullets. That is the only thing these people understand. Violence and more violence. Bombs and more bombs, bullets and more bullets. It creates employment so that makes it right. Hunt down every last terrorist and kill them. Kill, kill, kill, kill and kill some more . . .


As President Bush put it, they are an exceptional "few bad apples"
whose actions "do not reflect the nature of our country."

7. with the neocon coup firmly in control
of Congress, the Judiciary and the Executive,

and the media,

Generallisimo el Busho could sodomize littel boys on national TV while decapitating Berg himself

and he wouldn't be impeached.

8. Suppose Bush ordered Mount Pinatubo to erupt!
This is a silly post. Even in the remote chance that Dumbya did order such a thing (I REALLY doubt it) we would NEVER be able to get any proof of such an order. They would make sure of that.

This topic is SO moot.

11. It's a moot point
If they had intended to use Berg as a sacrificial lamb to get our attention away from Abu Ghraib they would have picked someone with a cleaner story. Instead what we've got is a family who claims that the breakdown of civil liberties resulted in Berg's death. And we've got an example of how lawless Iraq actually is. Berg's death clearly illustrates that the Bush's post-war plan is largely defunct.

If they were really running this story, they would have changed the circumstances considerably.

12. These kind of posts
Are making me rethink my membership.

Is Bush a bad guy? Yes.

Are his policies terribly misguided? Yes.

Is his administration a failurte? Yes.


But these threads that are attempting to somehow link Bergs killing with Bush or our own troops or intelligence personnel are simply insane.

Can't we simply apply "Achems Razor" to this event and accept that Al-Qaeda terrorists under Zaqari killed Berg?

Evrything isn't a conspiracy.

Don't base your judgement on the original post, base it on the dozens of others who have called him a crackhead.

16. the point here is ...
... not that maybe Bush ordered Berg killing ... but that things are so horrible ... that Bush is such a lying, brutal bastard, that these thoughts flash through our minds. LIHOP, MIHOP ... the fact that we don't consider anything out of the realm of possibility for this Administration just shows how far afield we've gotten.

Kerry for President. Please!

14. We should, of course, use "Achem's Razor"
Just don't tell William of Occam!

And gesundheit!

Occam as opposed to Achem.

Thank you for pointing it out.

This kind of crap is used by the other side to paint all DUers as nutcases.

15. LIHOP
has become accepted as a possibility beyond DU. It took months, but it's out there.

why such resistance to skepticism about this?

20. Even if one doesn't believe in MIHOP or LIHOP
I don't see how it CANNOT be seen that they are willing to exploit these events for political gain.

Plausible deniability.
