Poll question: Jail them or forget about it all and move on?
Edited on Sun Mar-15-09 11:51 PM by Skip Intro
I'm sorry. I'm not sorry. I can't stand that the discussion is going to turn away from justice for the bastards that lied us into war and, well fuck, there's alot of ands.

These people cannot just be able to walk away.

Build a fucking library and pretend none of this shit ever happened.

No.

That can't be the price.

Those bastards fucked this country, and killed tens of thousands.

And they just walk away?

It's just not acceptable.

1. All we can do at this point is make damn sure they don't rewrite history...
Never let anyone forget what they did.

3. I just don't accept that that's all we can do at this point.
We should be in the streets demanding justice.

4. We've been in the streets demanding justice...
We've had protests and two elections which got them out of power. IMO, that's the only justice we've got. I know it's not enough, but there's nothing else we can do, IMO.

6. It kills me to watch them waltz their way into the sunset.
A travesty has occurred.

Mind-boggling crimes.

How can we just let them walk away?

7. I saw on ABC news, I think it was, where they are attempting to rewrite history...
I think it involved Karen Hughes. I remember seeing her on the report. They are trying to rewrite history from what that report said.

All we can do, IMO, is make sure they fail. If nothing else, we can do our damndest to insure what that administration was all about.

I share your outrage on this. Trust me, I do. I honestly don't see any of them serving a single day in jail.

5. Right. We can't just let it go, let them make it all some patriotic crap,
Edited on Sun Mar-15-09 11:50 PM by Skip Intro

They did some fucked up shit. Really, they did. I watched it happen here and on tv. We attacked. We killled a lot of people. It was wrong. It was based on lies. They can't just walk away,

8. If they could impeach a president over a blow job,
surely we should be able to run those fuckers down behind some of the shit they did.

9. I think we should sit back until we get at least an 80% majority in Congress.
Then we'll make our move.

10. At 80% they'd still only send sternly-worded letters
Neither party screams unless it's in the minority.

Go figure.

11. It's an horrible thing to contemplate
and tragic for our country but I think all we got was that Bush and Cheney actually left office (for awhile there I wasn't sure they would) and of course the good news that Obama WAS elected and by a big majority --- a tremendous seachange and mature step forward for this country. I suspect that's where it ends, particularly now with the public and Obama, of necessity, focused on the imploded, disastrous Economy (another pile of steaming shit left by Bush/Cheney, all their denials to the contrary). Gutless Congress will perhaps hold a few more hearings and wag their fingers sternly but Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld, etal. will walk away. They already have.

14. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it, do we honestly want to repeat this history?
