Our founding fathers were very wise.

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." --- Benjamin Franklin

"But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." --- John Adams

"Corporations which should be carefully restrained creatures of the law of the people, are fast becoming the people's masters. Our liberty, our environmental and social health, and democracy itself are now endangered" --- Grover Cleveland

"Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write. The erosion of our sovereignty which has occured as transnational corporations have risen in power is replacing many of the functions of citizens and governments." --- John Adams

"Without privacy there is no freedom. Only tyranny and the corrupting nature of power. Be forever vigilant to stay free". --- Benjamin Franklin

"As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air however slight lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness." --- William O. Douglas, Supreme Court Justice

"History will surely judge America's decision to invade and occupy Iraq … as a decision that was not only tragic but absurd" --- Former Vice President Gore in his new book (May 2007) "The Assault On Reason"

"Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attack or al Qaeda and had no WMDs … then that means the president took us to war when he didn't have to and that over 3,500 American service members have been killed … unnecessarily." --- Former Vice President Gore

"President Bush has repeatedly violated the law for six years" --- Former Vice President Gore

What did we get for our $500 Billion Mr. President?

Bush: "I take care of my friends" Who are your friends Mr. President. The U.S. and Saudi Oil Companies and military equipment manufacturers of course. In the tune of $500 Billion. The money the US will spend in Iraq. But they only gave you $1 Billion. That's $1 Billion more than anybody else dufas. Besides they gave a lot to my Daddy, Cheney, Carlucci, Baker, and Rice just to name a few.

Never before in history has a President of the United States had such a close relationship with another foreign power as President Bush and his father have had with the Saudi Royal family, the House of Saud. There have been more than $1.4 Billion in investments and contracts that went from the House of Saud over the past 20 years to the House of Bush as well as support for their cronies at Harken Energy, Halliburton, and the Carlyle Group among them.

Bush Sr - Carlyle - Bush Senior serves on the Board of Directors of the Carlyle Group which is involved in nearly every aspect of military production, including manufacturing of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and a number of military aircraft used in Iraq. The Carlyle Group is the 5th largest DoD contractor for the Army behind Lockheed, Raytheon, General Dynamics, and Boeing. Carlyle's chairman is ex-Secretary of Defense Frank Carlucci. Its senior counselor is former Secretary of State James Baker. The senior adviser to the firm's Asian Partners is former President George H.W. Bush.

In the 1990s, the Bin Ladin's invested $2 million in the Carlyle Group. (Wall Street Journal, September 17, 2001). We've got plenty of Bradley's over here that you can buy once they blow up in Iraq. Bin Ladin blows them up, Bin Laden makes money. Bush sends them to Iraq, the Bush's make money. Both Bush and Bin Ladin would do anything to make a profit. The dollar is their only God. The thousands of dead Iraqi's, suicide bombers, and US soldiers. That's "collateral damage". The trillions in debt that our children and grandchildren will have to pay. Ahh! Somebody's got to lose for us to become millionaires. And don't forget 9-11. You want another 9-11. Enriched uranium. There are mushroom clouds out there.

And last but not least. Do you know who brokered the port deal Bush wanted so bad with Dubai. The Carlyle Group. In the tune of $102 Million they would have made if the deal went through.

Bush Jr - Harken - In 1986, Bush Junior, to date a flop as a businessman, joined Harken Energy Corporation as a Director and was awarded 212,000 shares of stock. Sheikh Abdullah Bahksh of Saudi Arabia also invested in and became a 16 percent shareholder in Harken Energy while George W. Bush served on the Board at Harken. In 1987, the inexperienced and obscure firm was awarded a prime drilling contract in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Harken’s stock price soared. In June 1990, Bush Jr sold his Harken stock for a juicy $848,000. Thank you Saudi's for getting me that job and Bahrain contract. I'll pay you back.

Harken Energy had ties to the notorious Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), a Middle Eastern banking company. In 1988, the BCCI scandal broke with the exposure of such investors as Manuel Noriega, terrorist leader Abu Nidal, and the Medellin drug cartel. BCCI also laundered money involved in Bush Sr's Iran-Contra scandal.

The Bin Laden family also helped fund Arbusto Energy, George W. Bush’s first oil venture in the 1970s. Is anybody still wondering why we haven't found bin Landen? Look in Georgie's bed. There is noone in America closer to the Bin Laden's than our President. Now you're getting a little smarter. Why do you think I disbanded the CIA team whose job it was to find Bin Laden. And when asked where is Bin Laden our illustrious President said "I don't know where he is. He's not important. I don't spend much time thinking about him". But he is the man behind 9-11. Not Iraq, Mr President. Bin Laden. Now get out of Iraq. You got your Saddam. You and your cronie contractors made enough money. The Iraq people hate us for starting a civil war. Half of the people in Iraq have lost family members because of the pre-emptive war you started for a regime change. Our country's security was not threatened. As former President Carter said: the reasons for this war "have been a radical departure from all previous Administrations". President Carter also said that you and your Administration have been "the worst in history".

Ahh! That old windbag. Tell him to keep his mouth shut and eat peanuts in his rocking chair.

Back to the war and the reasons for it. Oil! When the troops arrived in Iraq the 1st thing they secured were the oil wells and the Oil Ministry Building in Baghdad while hospitals were being looted of medicine to treat the incoming civilian casualties and the priceless museum was looted. What was the priority liberation or oil? You're not getting any of their oil Mr President. The Iraqi's will continue to fight forever to preserve it for their citizens. Well we'll see about that boy. Now shut up and get out of my office before I send you to Guantanomo.

Bush associate, British citizen Alan Quasha, a former Director of Harken living in the British Virgin Islands and owner of Lyford Investments, bought 65 million shares of Harken in May '05 and now owns 62% of Harken. On 14 May 2001 The Carlyle Group announced that John Major, the former Prime Minister of Great Britain, had agreed to join the firm as Chairman of Carlyle Europe. The British connections.

Cheney - Halliburton (the world's largest oil-service, exploration and engineering outfit) - In 2000, his last year with Halliburton, Cheney received $34 million when he cashed out from the company. Halliburton also supplies a large portion of military and oil equipment used in Iraq. The Pentagon's Defense Contract Audit Agency had questioned $263 million in costs for fuel deliveries, pipeline repairs and other tasks Halliburton was supposed to perform but paid all but 4%. Usually the Defense Department withholds 75% of what is in question.

Rice - Cheveron - Condoleezza Rice is a former longtime member of Chevron's Board of Directors which does business drilling for oil in the Saudi desert.

What are you jabbering about it's only $500 Billion? And only $50 Billion was stolen by my cronies who I gave no-bid contracts (as reported by CBS News).

The average cost of a new school in the US is $8 million. That could have paid for 62,000 new schools! The average cost of a new hospital is $100 million. That Iraq money could have paid for 5,000 new hospitals! Or could have paid the health care costs of 150 million children for two years. That's all the children in America (based on US Health and Human Services statistics). You promised to improve Social Security and Medicare but have done nothing but make huge profits for the pharmaceutical companies.

What did we get for our $500 Billion Mr. President? We got Saddam. "Afterall this is the guy who tried to kill my daddy". I had to get'em no matter what! Even if it kills us (by cutting health programs for Americans and sending all our National Guard equipment to Iraq) and bankrupts us by spending all this money (the Spend and Spend President) to build back what your war has destroyed.

Ahhh! I don't care what you say, Congress says, or the American people say. I do what I want asshole. That was my intent from day one in office. Remember he's got WMD's. You want a mushroom cloud or another 9-11. But all that were lies to the American people. He has no WMD's. He was not responsible for 9-11. But I did something my Daddy couldn't do! I'm bigger than my Daddy now. Sure you are Mr President. Calm down now. Have another drink. But is any one man worth $500 Billion to get Mr President?

Former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill said Bush was looking for an excuse to oust Saddam Hussein within the first few days of taking office.

More Evidence of this is found in the Downing Street Memo:

Months before Bush went to Congress or the UN or the public for approval of a war, Blair and Dearlove met at #10 Downing Street, and the minutes of that meeting are recorded as the Downing Street Minutes or Downing Street Memo.

The Downing Street Minutes are short, to the point, and shocking. They make clear that:

  1. Bush had already decided to go to war long before approaching Congress or the public or the UN about it, and had already started the attack with increased bombings;
  2. Bush had already decided to lie about weapons of mass destruction and ties to 9-11;
  3. The Brits were concerned by the illegality of an aggressive war, but the Bush Administration was not;
  4. Going to the UN was an attempt to justify the war, and the hope was to craft an ultimatum that Saddam Hussein would reject;
  5. The focus of the Bush and Blair administrations was on selling the war to the public, and not at all on trying to avoid it;
  6. The Bush and Blair administrations were aware that Iraq was no threat, and were willing to attack Iraq precisely because it posed no serious threat of fighting back.

When the Downing Street Minutes were first published by the Sunday London Times, shortly before the 2005 British election, the Blair Administration chose not to deny their authenticity. Shortly after the Minutes were released, sources within both the Bush and Blair Administrations confirmed their accuracy to the press. A former senior US official told Knight Ridder that the Downing Street Minutes were "an absolutely accurate description of what transpired." Two senior British officials, who asked not to be further identified, told Newsweek in separate interviews that they had no reason to question the authenticity of the Downing Street Minutes.

And as Former CIA Director George Tenet writes in his book “At the Center of the Storm” --- "There was never a serious debate that I know of within the Administration about the imminence of the Iraqi threat,” Nor, he adds, “was there ever a significant discussion” about the possibility of containing Iraq without an invasion.

Any comments on this Mr President. Yeah. But I'm not admitting it. But the first thing I did when I stepped inside the door of the White House was tell the DOD to start drawing up plans to invade Iraq and Iran. I'll worry about how get support for that. I'll put the fear of God into our people with 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, terrorist, terrorist, terrorist, WMDs, WMDs, WMDs, if we don't fight them there then we have to fight them here! I understand I can't dazzle the American people with my intelligent policy making and conversation, but I can always blind them with FEAR. I don't need no stinking facts. All I need is a few good one liners. Talking points. And keep repeating them until the American people believe them.

Retired Command Sergeant Major Eric Haney, founder of the military's elite covert counter-terrorist unit Delta Force says "Bush has fomented a third world war for personal gain. An utter debacle. But it had to be from the very first. The reasons were wrong. The reasons this Administration gave for taking this nation to war were not what they stated."

You are best friends with the Bin Laden's. Bin Laden was the key terrorist behind the 9/11 attack. Where is the link between Saddam and Bin Laden? What does Iraq have to do with 9/11? Where are Iraq's WMDs? What justification is there for an unprovoked attack on a soverign country. If WMDs were what this war was about, the war should have ended as soon as it became clear there were no WMDs.

Just five days after Sept. 11, Bush indicated to Rice that while he had to invade Afghanistan first, lets start plans to get Saddam Hussein second. And if my fear tactics don't work, and my get the evil doers doesn't work, and we need to shove Democracy and Freedom down their throats at the barrel of a gun doesn't work, then I'll tell the American people God speaks to me. According to Blair and Bush "God speaks to me and told me to attack Iraq" and Kill. That's the same thing their God told them, the suicide bombers, to do. Kill you. I guess all Gods just want to Kill. In the name of God, of course.

And on a Killing note - the US House of Representatives overwhelming approves giving India US nuclear technology proposed by Bush by a 359-68 vote on Wed 7/26/06. Lawmakers rejected amendments that would have put limits on India's nuclear weapons program. The US says build as many nuclear bombs as you want and here is the technology to do it. Our goal is WWIII and total destruction of everyone in the world except the US. We love War and Killing. Dig'em out of their holes. Wanted Dead or Alive. Preferably dead. Bring it on.

Under the India deal, it will get access to US nuclear fuel and equipment. Pakistan gets nothing from the US but Russia will oblige as they did Venezuela. It's only fair. Russia plans to deliver 30 Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets and 30 helicopters to Venezuela. It has already ordered 100,000 AK-103s and wants to set up factories to produce Kalashnikovs under licence. Smart move Venezuela because you're next after Iraq, Iran, and N Korea.

And the US plans to sell arms worth $4.6 Billion to Saudi Arabia including AH-64 Apache helicopters and UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters. While India and most of the world except the US has condemned Israel's "disproportionate and excessive use of force" in Lebanon.

Israel's response is we're following our unwritten constitutional amendment that states we kill 10 Arabs for every Jew. We did the same thing with those Gaza suicide bombers. 10 for 1. We were falling behind on the scoreboard so we had to bomb that condo and kill those 50 women and children. Sorry but you know it's your fault. Of course. But with your multi-million dollar advanced US attack jets didn't you see it was a condo? We can buy you a $50 pair of binoculars to look first if you need them. Don't be stupid. We knew exactly what the target was.

"Israel accused of war crimes". Amnesty International has accused Israel of committing war crimes by deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure in Lebanon.

UN denounces Israel's use of cluster bombs. "What's shocking and completely immoral is that 90% of the cluster bomb strikes occurred in the last 72 hours of the conflict when we knew there would be a resolution" said the UN's humanitarian Chief Jan Egeland.

Back to Bush. Yes we need to spread my vision of Democracy which is when they vote for someone else make sure to change the source code in the Diebold machines so they vote for me a little bit more than the other guy (computer scientists say a security hole recently found in Diebold Election Systems touch-screen voting machines is the ."worst ever" in a voting system) and if that doesn't work have the Supreme Court validate my election and appoint me President. Freedom. Of course, which in my Presidential view is every American's God given right to agree with me and my policies or feel my wrath. Hell Hath No Fury Like a W Scorned. And the Republican Congress has done a good job of goose stepping in line. As well as most Democrats which was a pleasant surprise. I must have everyone including the American people shaking in their boots. If I was to sum up in one word what has been the overwhelming factor in my success as President it would be "FEAR".

I don't agree with most things you say Mr President but I do agree with this.

While serving as Governor of Texas, George W. Bush met with high-level Al Qaeda leaders, hoping to get support to build an oil pipeline across Afghanistan. Four months into his presidency, Bush rewarded the Taliban by handing over $43 million in May 2001 and blocking FBI efforts to find and prosecute terrorism in Afghanistan, only six months before the 9/11 terrorist attacks. FBI's counterterror Director John O'Neill who became one of the world's top experts on Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, was determined to hunt Bin Laden and his followers down and bring them to justice. After years of investigating, O’Neill came to the conclusion that "All the answers, everything needed to dismantle Osama bin Laden's organization can be found in Saudi Arabia." The Bush administration blocked those efforts of the “most knowledgable agent it had” to investigate the Saudis and their ties to the Bin Ladens. John O'Neil subsequently quit his job because of these frustrations with the Bush administration's willingness to support the Taliban (and bin Laden) for the sake of the oil pipeline. Did the money, even unknowningly, help fund the attacks? John O'Neil was killed on 9/11 in the World Trade Center attack. What a coincidence?

Get Saddam. Is that the only reason to invade Iraq Mr. President?

We need to put Saddam on trial. He is an evil person, he advocated torture, invaded other countries without provocation, fixed elections and intimidated his own people and opponets through Fear. He has weapons of mass destuction and isn't afraid to use them, he threatened every country with regime change that didn't agree with him and thumbed his nose at the United Nations.

But Mr President who are we talking about YOU or Saddam Hussein?

Don't we a wise ass. Besides if you want the truth it's not Saddam it's Money. If you want the truth always "Follow the Money". For example, I said the US needs to be energy independent of oil. America is addicted to oil. He He He. The money I've given to all other energy alternatives (solar, wind, hydrogen cells, biofuels) is less than 1% what I give Big Oil. Why? Because once Exxon and Mobil were allowed to merge, there is no competition. The few oil companies left are now a monopoly that can set any price for gas, buy almost any politician, and control my Administration. The five top companies in America now run this country. They are mine and your masters. And after we destroy the military and oil equipment in Iraq and they destroy some of ours, both of us will buy it back from my good friends at Harken Energy, Halliburton, and the Carlyle Group making them huge profits. We'll even give them exclusive non-compete no-bid contracts to ensure it. A large portion will eventually funnel back to me. Isn't that good enough to justify my unprovoked attack on a soverign country? I don't believe so Mr. President.

Then you tell me what we got. OK Mr. President.

#1 The polls show the people in Iraq don't like us any more now then they did before. They consider us invaders and occupiers. Can you blame them? We destroyed the infrastructure of their country with our bombas. Many don't have food, water, electricity, proper sanitation, medical support, and a police force for security. When you take over a country and start a war it will kill thousands of men, woman, and children as well as soldiers. We try not to kill the civilians but that's the ugly part of war. Now many of these childless mother's and father's are thinking "You killed my baby, destroyed my home, and now I have nothing to live for so I'm going to kill you". So the 1st thing we got is the creation of thousands of more terrorists!

#2 But we're spreading Freedom, Democracy getting those evil-doers, stopping terrorism. Stopping or Promoting? What's the difference. If we promote it, Hell, more money for me and my affiliates that invests in oil and military equipment. Mark my Words. I'll be the richest President ever to leave office.

What if they set up a democratically elected government that you don't like Mr. President. I'll cut off aid like I did with Hamas or maybe bomb them again till they get it right. Isn't that hypocritical. You, You just don't know how things operate. And what if Iraq's democracy is similar to what happened in Russia when they went Democratic or what is beginning to happen in the US. What we got is government corruption and ethics scandals. Close door meetings setting agendas and fixing of elections and wars so that a handful of the rich benefit, the poor get poorer, and the national debt soars to unprecendented levels.

To finance this war that will cost $500 Billion, you did not ask the wealthiest in our country to sacrifice Mr. President. Instead you gave welfare to the rich. Under your tax cuts, US billionaires and millionaires got $242 Billion back over the past five years while the poor and middle class got poorer. But you did cut after school programs by 1.3 Billion, Medicaid by $42 Billion, Veterens benefits by $8 Billion, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families by $5 Billion and threaten to cut Social Security and Medicare by using those trust funds to finance the war.

But in all fairness you and your Administration have achieved these goals (which are all impeachable) :

  1. government corruption and ethics scandals at the highest levels of your Administration (yourself, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Abramoff, Libby, DeLay, Wolfowitz, Brown)

  2. Violating the Constitution by using "signing statements" to defy hundreds of laws passed by Congress.

  3. Violating the Constitution by illegally detaining Americans, legal residents, and non-Americans at Guantanomo, without due process, without charge, and without access to counsel.

  4. Gross negligence in failing to assist New Orleans residents after Hurricane Katrina. But But there was no way I could have known about the danger of Hurricane Katrina. You are lying again Mr President. National Hurricane Director Max Mayfield told you about the leeve danger two days before Katrina hit New Orleans.

  5. A fraudulant prescription drug program for our seniors or your "No Drug Company Left Behind" program. An AARP study showed that drug prices in 2005 rose at twice the rate of inflation and that savings realized today by seniors enrolled in Medicare Part D significantly diminished.

  6. no progress in the health care crisis that needs dramatic improvement. More than 50 million Americans are uninsured - including 8 million children - and countless others are underinsured. Employer-sponsored health care is dwindling and insurance premiums are rising.

    How much is 50 million Americans? That is equal to all the people living in Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wyoming.

  7. Violating US and international law by authorizing torture. I'm vetoing McCain's anti-torture bill. We need our torture.

  8. Lack of Homeland Security and putting the American people at risk by the Dubai port deal and not securing our borders with Canada and Mexico

  9. trashing the Constitution and Bill of Rights by illegal domestic wiretapping in the name of "the war on terror" to enhance your Power

  10. Violating the United Nations Charter by launching an illegal war against Iraq using fraud to sell the war to Congress and the public. Lying about WMDs and using 9/11 to start a $500 Billion war in Iraq with no plan or exit strategy besides "stay the course" which means setup permanent bases to stay there forever to look after the oil your "friends" want to control

  11. Violating US law by leaking classified information and exposing the identity of a covert CIA operative Valerie Plame who was working on sensitive WMD proliferation. A leak for political retribution. while Mr President you said the person that leaked that sensitive information will no longer be working for my Administration. You did Mr President

    As discussed on CBS 60 minutes When it became clear there were no weapons of mass destruction, a rift split the White House and CIA. A former ambassador named Joe Wilson wrote an article debunking the uranium claim that had slipped into the State of the Union address. The White House retaliated, leaking a story that exposed the identity of Joe Wilson’s wife, Valerie Plame, as an undercover CIA officer.

    Former CIA Director George Tenet said "She's one of my officers. That's wrong. Big time wrong, you don't get to do that," Tenet says. "And the chilling effect that you have inside my work force is, Whoa, now officers names are being thrown out the door. Hold it. Not right."

    Asked how much damage that did, Tenet says, "That's not the point. Just because there's a Washington bloodletting game going on here and just because her husband's out there saying what he's saying. The country's intelligence officers are not fair game. Period. That's all you need to know."

  12. cuts in school lunch and special education programs while giving $242 Billion back to our nation's richest 1%

But don't worry Mr President. You have mastered the concept of FEAR much like Hitler. The reason nobody in Germany would stand against Hitler and nobody in the US will stand against you.

You have killed hundreds of thousands of people needlessly in a war based on lies for your personal profit. Put the US in enormous debt and for all practical purposes destroyed the US economy. But you will not be impeached.

Even though Clinton had an impeachment trial for getting a Blow by an intern which did NOT cost the American people one penny or kill anyone. Except for the millions of dollars wasted by the Republicans pursueing this crap. But with Bush they sit idlely by while he single handedly destroys this country for everyone except himself and his friends (the richest 1%).

And Nixon was faced with impeachment and forced to resign for just one of the above #9 ie. wiretapping his political opponents at the Watergate hotel. You have done this and much much more Mr President.

Fromer Senator Bob Graham of Florida about Impeachment --- Bush’s claim in his State of the Union speech that Iraq had sought uranium from Africa to build nuclear bombs was clearly a lie (among the many other lies). Bush’s lie was on a far more serious subject than Clinton’s since it concerned reasons for going to war, $500 Billion of American taxpayers money wasted, and thousands left dead. Clinton's lie was about personal sexual conduct that did not cost us $1 or 1 dead soldier. If the standard that was set by the House of Representatives relative to Bill Clinton is the new standard for impeachment, then this clearly comes within that standard.

WASHINGTON (Thursday, June 21, 2007) -- The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday authorized Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) to issue subpoenas for documents relating to the authorization and legal justification for the Administration's warrantless wiretapping program. “This Committee has sought information about the authorization of and legal justification for this program time and again - in letters, at hearings, and in written questions,” Leahy said. This stonewalling is unacceptable and it must end. If the Administration will not carry out its responsibility to provide information to this Committee without a subpoena, we will issue one.”

Bush to Leahy, the Congress, the subpoenas, and the American people --- Go F' yourself!. Mr President that's the same thing Cheney tells the Senators and Congressman.

Look here. I'm the decider. I don't have to do what you say, the law says, or anybody says. Got it. Now F' off. I do whatever I want. Start any war I want. The hell with you and the American people. I work for the richest 1% you stupid poor bastards. That's the way America works now that I'm the dictator. Ooops! I mean if I was the dictator. HeHeHe.

You're not getting any stinking documents or testimony from anyone in my Administration.

Leahy likened Bush's action to the only U.S. president ever to resign from office, calling it "Nixonian stonewalling and more evidence of their disdain for our system of checks and balances. Increasingly, the President and Vice President feel they are above the law."


Hile Bush!

Then Congress agreeded to let you borrow another $781 Billion on Mar 16, 2006, to pay for the war and combat terrorism. The national debt ceiling was raised to $9,000,000,000,000 (trillion). The debt will represent $30,000 for every man, woman and child in the United States.

"The fact is our country is broke" said Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio. "We're spending money we don't have and passing it onto our kids, and at some point, somebody's got to say, Enough's Enough."

Of the total debt held by the public, 45% is in foreign hands. That means that approximately $92 Billion is leaving this country every year to pay off the interest to foreign entities. In my opinion the Democrats should be as fiscally irresponsible as the Republicans. Don't raise Taxes and get elected. Just put it on my bill even though I don't have the money to pay, keep the presses rolling printing money and writing checks with no money in the bank to pay. Let the country go to Hell. The President and Republican controlled Congress has now increased the debt ceiling four times by a total of $3 trillion since Bush took office five years ago.

Mr. President, because you are the "Spend and Spend" President and will not Tax to pay for it, we are asking future generations to pay for this war, and they will pay for it in the form of higher taxes or fewer Government benefits. They stand to inherit a weakened America, one so compromised by debt and economic crisis that the promise of opportunity for all has faded. And there is no end in sight.

Ahhh. The main thing like I said "I take care of my friends". The US and Saudi oil companies were my largest campaign contributers (90% of the millions went to me and the Republican Party). I promised them I would invade Iraq to create oil shortages in the short term so they could have a reason to raise their prices and make more money in profits than they ever have in history. And they have. The US and Saudi oil and military equipment manufacturing companies including ExxonMobil, BP, Harken Energy, Halliburton, and the Carlyle Group profits are at record levels steadily doubling and tripling their profits since the war started on Mar 19, 2003. ExxonMobil has soared past WalMart to the top of the 2006 Fortune 500 list Not to mention flying your Saudi friends out of the US immediately after 9-11 (Former White House counter-terrorism tsar Richard Clarke said the Bush administration sanctioned the repatriation of about 140 high-ranking Saudi Arabians, including relatives of Osama bin Laden in the immediate aftermath of September 11, even as American airspace was closed. ) and the security port contract to the Saudi's as a little bonus. If that isn't proof to the bin Laden's how much you love them then nothing is. And as the New York Times reported on July 4, 2006 I had disbanded the CIA unit that had hunted for Osama bin Laden many years ago. Why did you close the bin Laden unit Mr President? I told the CIA not to find him anyway. It was a waste of money. Window Dressing to seem like I really wanted to capture my close personal friend bin Laden.

You got that right boy. And if I wanted Osama I could have got him in July 2001. Osama bin Laden underwent surgery in an American Hospital in Dubai in July 2001. During his stay in the hospital, he met with a CIA agent While on the World's "most wanted list", no attempt was made to arrest him during his two week stay in the hospital. But the US could have ordered Osama bin Laden's arrest and extradition in Dubai in July of 2001 if Bush had wanted to. This may have stopped the attack on 9/11 but would also have made it harder for Bush to get what he wanted. A preemptive attack on Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and Venezuela. After 9/11 (or the other Pearl Harbor) it would be much easier for Bush to stage the support for attacks on these countries.

Got any more questions? Yes about 9/11, many people running from the World Trade Center buildings heard explosions in the building's basements just before the collapse. Professional demolition experts say they couldn't have done a better job of bringing down the building if they set the charges themselves. There was a crimp in the middle of these buildings just before a perfect implosion. Not what you would expect from a plane impact in which the building should fall to one side and not perfectly in the middle. Firefighters describe two events at the WTC that are consistent with a controlled demolition. Bright flashes from inside the building, and a number of crackling sounds all the way around the buildings before they collapsed.

Are you saying I planned 9/11 so I would have an excuse to invade Iraq? No Mr. President. Even though I have many issues with your programs I cannot bring myself to believe that. But I do believe that your friendship with the Bin Ladens and Saudis influenced your decision to block the CIA and FBI investigations that could have possibly stopped the attack. It seems you cared more about your "friends" (the Saudis) than the American people you swore to protect. And why when you were told of the attack in the school building did you not leave immediately. You continued for 15 more minutes talking to the children. Wasn't the 9/11 attack important enough to need your immediate attention? Or did you already know exactly what was happening but never did anything to stop it? 9/11 happened on your watch Mr President!

And now you're going to have the Saudis guard our ports Mr. President? Yeah. You got anything against that. The Saudis are my good friends and I'll veto any bill that tries to block it. The only other time Bush threatened a veto was when McCain intoduced a bill to stop the torture at Guantanamo. We need our torture.

Mr. President you are doing the same thing with the Dubai port deal that you did with 9/11. Putting the American people at risk to reward your Saudi friends.

In 2005, the Dubai Port Company, a Saudi government backed firm, invested $8 Billion in the Carlyle Group. It's payback time. You can secure our ports even though Saudia Arabia was a key transfer point for illegal shipments of nuclear components to Iran, North Korea and Lybia and Saudia Arabia was one of three countries in the world to recognize the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan among just a few things. Oh did I mention Neil Bush, W's brother, is a frequent visitor to and paid speaker in Dubai, showing up there right after 9/11 trying to get investors for his educational software company. Don't worry Neil you'll get all the support and money you need now that I gave them this port contract even if it fails. They're making billions every day on those high gas prices we created. That should be enough. And Dubai will still operate plants in GA and CT that makes precision components used in engines for military aircraft and tanks used in Iraq. Even though Dubai is doing billion dollars of business each year with Iran. Thanks Georgie they gave me the money. Guess where this "Leave No Child Behind" software will debut first. Florida! Thanks Jeb (Jeb Bush another brother of Neil's and Governor of Florida. How surprising!).

And don't forget my uncle William H.T. Bush. He collected $3 million as a result of the sale of Engineered Support Systems to DRS Technologies of New Jersey which I approved. Both businesses have extensive military contracts. Like father Like sons.

But Mr. President did you know that:

15 of the 19 hijackers that flew into the World Trade Center came from Saudia Arabia. Two of the hijackers were receiving financial support from the Saudi government.

Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden got most of their money from the Saudis.

Haifa bint Faisal, wife of Saudi ambassador Bandar bin Sultan, acknowledged that she sent nearly $150,000 that helped hijackers Khalid Almidhar and Nawaf Alhazmi find housing in San Diego, open bank accounts, get Social Security cards, pay expenses and arrange flying lessons in Florida.

Osama bin Laden’s father owns the largest construction company in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Binladen Group.

Michael Springmann, formerly chief of the visa section at the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia observed that 15 of the 19 people who flew airplanes into the World Trade Center got their visas as a special favor to the Saudi Arabia Royal family.

There is irrefutable evidence that highly-placed Saudis aided and supported the terrorists who murdered over 3,000 American citizens on September 11, 2001. You're going to award a contract to the Saudis to guard six major ports in the US (NY, Miami, Baltimore, New Orleans). Isn't that the fox guarding the hen house?

Fuwee. My grandfather Prescott Bush never apologized for trading with the Nazis. My Daddy George Bush Sr never apologized for the drug and arms deals in the illegal Iran-Contra operations that he Directed and suckering Saddam into invading Kuwait so we could have an excuse to attack Iraq in the 1st war. And I'm going to reward my good friends the Saudis with this port contract. And I'm never going to apologize for the 2nd war in Iraq even if I did have to lie about those WMDs, the Iraq-Al Qaida 9/11 connection, aluminum tubes, uranium from Niger, centrifuges, and mushroom clouds. A Bush does not apologize for anything. Remember that. We make money for ourselves and our friends. At any cost Mr President? Yes.

Bush Sr lied to start the 1st war with Iraq - On July 24, 1990 two Iraqi armoured divisions moved from their bases to take up positions on the Kuwaiti border. Later the same day the U.S. State Department spokesman Margaret Tutwiler, was asked whether the U.S. had any military plans to defend Kuwait, and replied: "We do not have any defense treaties with Kuwait, and there are no special defense or security commitments to Kuwait." The next day on July 25, 1990 Saddam Hussein summoned U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie to his office in what was to be the last official contact between Baghdad and the United States before the invasion of Kuwait. Glaspie essentially giving Saddam the green light by telling him "We have no opinion on Arab-Arab conflicts like your border disagreement with Kuwait."

Why should anyone think Bush Jr wouldn't lie to start the 2nd war with Iraq - There never were any weapons of mass destruction!

Mr. President Congress finally stood up to your support of the Saudis and will not allow the Dubai port contract. Damn those troublemakers. Why didn't they just shutup and do what I tell them to do like usual? In the aftermath of your Dubai port blunder Mr. President why in the world would you hire a Communist China conglomerate to help detect nuclear materials inside cargo passing through the Bahamas to the United States. This will allow foreign workers to have access to how the United States screens containers for nuclear material and how this technology scrutinizes the container. All of those things allowing a terrorist to thwart the screening process and bring a nuclear bomb into the US. You call that being strong on security. Protecting the American people. Didn't you learn anything from the Dubai port deal? I guess the people that said you're a little slow and have a learning deficit disorder are right. Or did the alcohol kill too many of your brain cells.

And I'm going to make sure in the long term the Saudi and US oil companies will get Iraq's oil. And Iran's and Venezuela's too. The US barrs all arms sales to Venezuela. This should make the invasion a little easier. We don't want to miss this boat like we did with N. Korea. Those sneaky Koreans got those nukes behind our NSA and CIA backs. Although a few boxcutters did it to bomb the WTC so it wouldn't be hard to fool us. But now we can't invade N. Korea. Damn. So the 2nd thing we got is the highest gas prices for consumers and highest profits for the oil companies in history. Not to mention losing our reputation among most of the countries of the world as being a benevolent and peace loving nation. A reputation the US had spent centuries to build.

#3 Now that Iraq's Armed Forces have been decimated their prime enemy Iran, whom Iraq was keeping in check, grows stronger destabilizing the region. And if we want to invade Iran too. They say go ahead. That's why their publishing the fact "We got centrifuges. We're enriching uranium". Come and get us. Spend another $500 Billion. We've hidden our main enrichment facilities underground in 500 different locations. You can bombas our main nuclear sites your satellites know about. We will continue when you're gone. Unless you want to be here forever and drain your resources further. That should just about financially destroy your country and devastate your people from within.

Do you have a comment on Iran's strategy Mr President? Yes. My Administration runs on Fear. Fear of imaginary nuclear weapons or an incident we can blame on you - whether real or imaginary - that will condition Congress, the media, and the American people for a pre-emptive attack on you. Never mind that Afghanistan has unraveled, bin Laden is still on the loose, and Iraq is in civil war. Just like I did with Iraq. Only this time we won't send troops. We'll send nuclear bombs to cut the costs.

Even if Iran had a nuclear weapon Mr President, why would this be different from Pakistan, India, and North Korea having one? Pakistan has spread nuclear technology throughout the world, and in particular to the North Koreans. Why not invade Pakistan Mr President? Because they have nukes and not much OIL. We want to control OIL. Production in Iraq is down 50%, and world oil prices have more than doubled to $60 per barrel, oil company profits are at their highest levels in US history rising 43% for 2005. A war in Iran could easily have a similar result. We could see oil over $120 a barrel, and $6 gas at the pump. More money for me and my oil buddies. But will the American people appreciate $6 gas at the pump? Ahhh.

Mr President you needlessly and foolishly threaten Iran as an "axis of evil" even though they have no nuclear weapons and not North Korea because they do have nukes but they are a greater threat? Don't you think if you were Iran you would be crazy not to try and get nukes? Then they would be safe from your takeover of their country. Only if you are small and weak will the US attack you. But Iran does thank the US for giving them their 1st nuclear reactor. We didn't give it to them. We sold it to them like we sold Iraq all its weapons. So you could later destroy them. Now you're thinking like your President. Sell them, destoy them, "regime change", sell them again. Remember who I work for. The American people Mr President. You're thinking like a child now. The oil and military equipment companies of course.

A few courageous US Senators like Barbara Boxer from California have supported this conclusion and stated “This report (from the FTC) proves that this Administration is owned and operated by Big Oil." Bush, his cronies, the richest 1%, and the oil companies are laughing all the way to the bank. While the average consumer sinks under the weight of high gas prices, high medical costs, high unemployment, and homes priced out of reach for most. The American Dream of the '50s and '60s where you could buy a home, have your wife stay home and take care of the children, and not worry about medical care is gone. Destroyed by MERGERS. Corporate corruption and greed by companies so huge now that they cannot be stopped. They own the courts. They own our government officials. Hillary has already been bought as was Kerry. The Enron officials that were convicted by a jury of average people. That will not stand upon appeal when higher "payed off" judges set them free. Just like Microsoft which was ordered by Judge Penfield Jackson to break up the monopoly but upon appeal was found Not Guilty.

Just like in Florida when that state's Supreme Court threw out a $145 Billion punitive damage award against US tobacco companies which was decided by a jury of average citizens (verdicts which mean nothing to people and corporations with money). Even though it was agreeded the companies had misled smokers living in Florida about the dangers of lighting up. Upon appeal life is good for the rich. You should know by now the little guy never wins in America and a verdict by a "jury of your peers" means nothing!

The 3rd thing we got is a stronger Iran and weaker US. Of course this was only possible with your help Mr. President.

Retired General William Odom, former head of the National Security Agency and security adviser to Ronald Reagan, wrote that the Iraq war "is serving the interests of Osama bin Laden, the Iranians, and is fomenting civil war in Iraq."

The fourth retired DOD General in less than a month today (4/13/06) called on the US defense secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, to resign. All agreeing that "he was not competent to lead our armed forces". The President probably thinking "I'm not competent to be President but that hasn't stopped me". I'm not firing him or Cheney because that will be admitting I was wrong and I don't do that. I'd rather destroy America than admit I made a mistake. Besides I don't want to be the only incompent, lying, and corrupt person in my Administration leading the country.

Odom joins four other retired Generals ie. Marine Corps Lieutenant General Gregory Newbold, who served as the operations director of the Joint Staff during in Afghanistan, Major General John Batiste, former commander of the US Army's 1st Infantry Division in Iraq from 2004 - 2005, Military Commander, Anthony Zinni, who headed the US Central Command, Army Major General Paul Eaton, Major Gen. Charles Swannack, who led the 82nd Airborne Division during its mission in Iraq. All call for Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld to be fired for incompetence.

Mr President, many insiders say Reagan was an effective President because he listened to his experts like General Odom. Reagan was an actor and not experienced in all departments of our government but the key thing is "he listened". You reward your friends by placing them in high positions but they have no experience in those departments and they fail like the FEMA Director and Rumsfeld. Bush appointed Michael Brown, an Oklahoma lawyer with NO Emergency Management experience but who had worked for the International Arabian Horse Association to head FEMA. A letter to Bush signed by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and Senators Richard Durbin of Illinois, Deborah Stabenow of Michigan and Charles Schumer of New York asked for Brown's firing because of his "failures" in the Gulf Coast region (Hurricane Katrina).

Ahhh. These Generals that want Rumsfeld fired are not being loyal to our troops or our country. They are cowards and want to run rather than fight. We need to stay the course for victory. But Mr President we’re involved in a civil war. This is not a war for us to win or to lose. There is no victory Mr President! Only money for you and your cronies to stick in your pockets. You are truely a cold hearted bastard.

What! What! That's it. One more outburst like that and you're definately going to Guantanamo. They'll water board you good. You better learn who you're talking to boy. What is our victory Mr President? Why are we in Iraq Mr President? OIL, OIL, OIL. OK. Now Shut Up. I'm tired. This is a hard job.

I have to disagree with you Mr President about your comments on those Generals. Each of these five Generals have more than 20 years of military experience. Combined they have over 100 years of combat experience in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. You, Cheney, Rumsfeld have no combat experience and your military experience Mr President is limited to the National Guard. And you call these Generals and anyone else who disagrees with you cowards and unpatriotic. These Generals say this war in Iraq was conducted in a casualness and swagger that are traits of those who have never known combat or the pain and suffering of war. And I would also like to add, I've been rich and I've been poor and unless you've walked in these shoes also you have no idea what its like. Just like combat. Mr President you've never had a hard job in your life. You're a spoiled brat, small man, uncompassionate, who looks down on the poor with disgust. And now with your power behind your desk can be the chicken hawk bully you've always wanted to be in school. Too bad it's at the expense of the American people.

But it's not all your fault Mr President. I believe you have acquired many of these traits from your parents as we all do. Your mother Barbara Bush said about the victims of Katrina evacuated to the arena huddled on blankets on the floor “And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this --- this is working very well for them.” I'd be curious what she'd think after after living there for just a week. Or you Mr President if you were in combat in Iraq for just a week.

And about the dead US soldiers Barbara Bush said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on March 18, 2003 “Why should we hear about body bags and deaths, Oh, I mean, it’s not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?”

Unfortunately Mr President that is your feelings about the poor and our military soldiers (90% of which come from poor families). You feel they are insignificant, unimportant, and don't think about them that much. It's not important in your grand scheme of things.

If you spent one week in combat or one week living on the minimum wage I know you would have a different perspective of what the poor and our soldiers have to deal with. You have no idea. Your grew up as a rich little brat and the only people you care about are the richest 1%.

Even now you don't know what hard work is. That's why you've mismanaged almost every aspect of your tenure as President. The Iraq war, Katrina, the debt, the Justice Department, wiretapping, widespread corruption in your Administration and on and on ...

How else was George W. influenced by his relatives? The litany of corruption goes back to W's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, who was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from trading with Nazi Germany during WWII. His business dealings continued until his company was shut down in 1942 under the "Trading with the Enemy Act". While there is no suggestion that Prescott Bush was sympathetic to the Nazi cause, he did sell Germany iron for gold (some of which came from the teeth of Jews who were exterminated) which help build Hitler's war machine. When there's money to be gotten that's all that matters. The money he made from these dealings helped Hitler's rise to power but also established the Bush family fortune which set up his own family's rise to power. Hile Bush! The similarities between Bush and Hitler are striking.

Even with this scandal (which was hidden) Prescott Bush was once considered a potential presidential candidate himself. Like his son, George H, and grandson, George W, he went to Yale where he was, again like his descendants, a member of the secretive and influential Skull and Bones student society.

George H Bush made millions in profits from the Carlyle Group. The group holds stocks in defense industries that armed Saddam during the Reagan years. This is the way the Bush family makes it money. Sell it, Start a War and Destroy it, then sell back what you destroyed during reconstruction. Even though America could use a few more hospitals and schools. But here it would not be under Bush's no bid contract control. Just ask Cheney. It didn’t take Dick long to learn that secret and also made millions as head of Halliburton who sold hundred of millions of dollars of equipment to Iraq before the war and then after the war. If evil doers like the Bush's and Cheney's and companies were not allowed to profit from wars, then simply, there would be no wars.

Like father and grandfather and mother, Like son. Sleeping with the Evil-Doers: Hitler, the Bin Ladens, Noriega, Hussein, Iran-Contra --- that's our beloved Bush Family.

Ahhh! Give me the money. That's the only thing I care about. That's why we come in and destoy a country and then spend Billions to build it back up. Like in Iraq. Dig a hole and then Fill it back up. Because the companies selling the shovels and getting the contracts to dig the holes and fill them supported me in my election by campaign contibutions. My father, Rice, Cheney all have a stake in these companies. Sat on the Board of Directors of these companies. Gave us millions. We owe them. Are you stupid? That's the way it works in America dumbas. Sorry Mr. President you are so astute. Do you owe the American people anything? Naaw. Let'em get their own money.

Even the latest conflict proves this point. Bush pledges $230m in Lebanon aid. Destroy it and then pay your cronies to build it back up. That's how you make money for yourself and your friends. Too bad you have to do with the lives of woman, children, and US soldiers you bastard. All you had to do was say one word to Israel and they would have stopped the massacre in Lebanon.

While in the meantime millions of Americans suffer and soldiers die. Like in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina because there's no money or soldiers or willingness of the President to help. Like in the US as a whole where millions don't have any health care. And thousands of schools are in disrepair.

When are we going to take care of America Mr. President? Gosh darn don't worry me now about that. There's too many poor people in our country the way it is. Who cares if a million or so more die. Most of our military are poor. I got them over there in Iraq making me and my friends money. I fried as many people as I could that were on death row when I was Governor of Texas. I set a record didn't I. Afterall as CBS news reported I was a member of "Skull and Bones" at Yale University. As was Kerry because the Repubs cover all bases. Even if they lose they win. Hillary is a Repub mole. If she wins the Repubs win. Skull and Bones love death just as long as it's not them or their families. Bush has said, I didn't fight in Vietnam and my girls won't fight in Iraq. That's for the stupid and poor. And look at Louisiana. We knew those levees wouldn't hold:

During a briefing President Bush received days before Hurricane Katrina struck, National Hurricane Center Director Max Mayfield told the President that the integrity of the levees was "a very very grave concern". Just days later, the President misled the American people again when he claimed that no one could anticipate a failure of the levees that flooded New Orleans.

but spent the money in Iraq instead. What about America? You smile when you promise compassionate conservative family values (which means "I got mine" and "I got yours too") and then reduce every family, education, health, and veterans program budget so you can give tax cuts to the richest 1% of Americans. The CEO of Halliburton earned about $8,300 an hour. And the CEO of ExxonMobil earned about $13,700 an HOUR. That's more than a full-time worker making the minimum wage earns in an entire YEAR - but clearly these two CEOs need a tax cut. No, No. I am concerned. This is a hard job. This is a real hard job. Then you need to show you're doing something for the other 99% of Americans that are not your millionaire and billionaire friends.

You've got it all wrong. Your just listening to that liberal media. And that racist Major of New Orleans when he said "George Bush doesn't care about black people". I don't care about poor people of any color red, brown, black, white, or rasberry. If they're poor they won't be contributing to my Repubilican's friends campaigns anyway. Who cares about them! They are only numbers to me.

When there's no profit in it for those at the highest levels of government there is no action. So what about elections. We've got that covered too. With electronic voting, our friends, and no hard copy paper trail we can change one line of code and get as many votes as we want just like we did in Florida and Ohio last time when the fix was in. If we need more votes we got plenty of dead people to vote for us and lots of blacks that won't be allowed to vote. Besides we've got so much dirt on those Demos from our illegal domestic wiretapping and spy operations they don't stand a chance.

Many people feel you are trashing the Constitution with these illegal wiretaps and consciously and intentionally violating the laws of this country. Even Republican appointed former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor who retired in Feb 2006 after 24 years on the supreme court has said the US is in danger of edging towards a dictatorship. When a person of such distinction (and others) speaks about a dictatorship the American people should listen. She is not joking. You know Mr President that Nixon was going to be impeached before he resigned for spying on political oppponents.

We're in a War on Terror. 9-11. Get'em there before they get us here. Do I have to say it a hundred more times. That's all you need to know. Get who? Win what? Terrorists. Win Freedom. Wave that flag, shut up, and get in line. And about the Constitution, it doesn't apply now. But Mr President the Constitution is the framework of America. It stands to guide us thru good and bad times. Ahhh. It's just a piece of paper. I've got a copy and use it for toilet paper in the blue room.

But spying works. Look at those spineless, weak kneed, goose stepping Demos. I've got the goods on them with my spying but won't need to use it until 2008. But Mr President the Democrats want timelines for redeployment, benchments, and accountability in the $120 Billion Iraq Supplemental Bill (H.R. 2206 May 2007). Won't you need to blackmail them with those photos. Nahhh. I'll wait till 2008. Besides most Democrats are not too different than me. They get their pockets filled by the same corporations that fill mine. They will give those contractors that $120 Billion and the contractors will funnel some back to the politicians that vote YES for this bill. So the Democrats will just bend over so you can stick it to them like you're sticking it to the American people. Exactly! The monopolies corporations now have formed (including Exxon/Mobil) are too powerful for any politician to fight. They run America. They are truely the people's and politician's masters. But I will tell those Demos that the next time they come in my office to bring some lubricant.

Every Senator with an ounce of integrity should give back the "campaign contributions" to those contractors and Vote NO on this bill. Follow the will of the majority of the American people and bring our troops home now. Otherwise everone of you should be voted OUT!

H.R. 2206 voting record The 14 Senators who were NOT bought out by US contractors operating in Iraq are listed below:

Boxer (D-CA), Burr (R-NC), Clinton (D-NY), Coburn (R-OK), Dodd (D-CT), Enzi (R-WY), Feingold (D-WI), Kennedy (D-MA), Kerry (D-MA), Leahy (D-VT), Obama (D-IL), Sanders (I-VT), Whitehouse (D-RI), Wyden (D-OR) and Former Senator J. Edwards who would have voted NO.

We salute the above 14 Senators for their integrity. The only ones that should be reelected. It's not about being intimidated by Bush, being spineless, or caving in. It's all about the money for those who voted YES to approve this bill! Don't think its only the Republicans that are getting campaign contributions from those whores making money off our dead soldier's bodies.

Senator Feingold's remarks on the passage of this supplemental. "It was bad enough to have the President again disregard the American people by escalating our involvement in Iraq. Now, too, Congress seems to be ignoring the will of the American people. Mr. President, if the American people cannot count on the leaders they elect to listen to them, and to act on their demands, then something is seriously wrong with our political institutions - or with the people who currently occupy those institutions". My sentiments exactly! Only the above 14 should retain their offices. The others - You're OUT. I hope you got enough blood money from those contractors. It's the last you'll get.

Comments on this bill by some of these Senators (who voted NO) with integrity who love this country and don't want it destroyed by debt, its citizens killed in a senseless occupation, and its reputation around the world defamed and driven in the ground:

US Senator Russ Feingold ---

“Under the President’s Iraq policies, our military has been over-burdened, our national security has been jeopardized, and thousands of Americans have been killed or injured. Despite these realities, and the support of a majority of Americans for ending the President’s open-ended mission in Iraq, congressional leaders now propose a supplemental appropriations bill that does nothing to end this disastrous war. I cannot support a bill that contains nothing more than toothless benchmarks and that allows the President to continue what may be the greatest foreign policy blunder in our nation’s history. There has been a lot of tough talk from members of Congress about wanting to end this war, but it looks like the desire for political comfort won out over real action. Congress should have stood strong, acknowledged the will of the American people, and insisted on a bill requiring a real change of course in Iraq.”

Former US Senator John Edwards ---

"Conceding to the president on full funding for the Iraq war is a serious mistake. It is time to force an end to this war, and the only way for Congress to do that is to use its funding power. Any compromise that funds the war through the end of the fiscal year isn't a compromise at all, it's a capitulation. As I have said repeatedly, Congress should send the president the same bill he vetoed again and again until he realizes he has no choice but to start bringing our troops home."

US Senator Hillary Clinton ---

"I think it's important for someone like me who's been a strong supporter of the military and has worked hard to get our troops everything they need to start saying, Look, the best thing we can do for them is to get them out of the middle of this sectarian civil war"

US Senator Kennedy ---

"The President was wrong to get us into this war, wrong to conduct it so poorly, wrong to ignore the views of the American people, and wrong to stubbornly refuse to sign legislation requiring a timetable for the orderly and responsible withdrawal of our combat troops from Iraq. It is time to end the continuing tragic loss of American lives and begin to bring our soldiers home."

US Senator Dodd ---

“I believe that the Senate tonight made a grave mistake when it voted to give this President another blank check to pay for his failed policy in Iraq. Continuing on this course in Iraq means further damaging our national security interests and our standing in the world. I will continue to fight for a firm deadline for the safe re-deployment of U.S. combat troops using the power of the Congressional purse to compel the President to abandon his failed policies, because that is the only way to responsibly bring this war to a conclusion.”

US Senator Boxer ---

"In March and in April I voted for emergency spending legislation that would have fully funded our troops in Iraq, but also changed their mission to a sound one. That mission would have taken our troops out of the middle of a civil war, and put them into a support role, training Iraqi soldiers and police, fighting al Qaeda, and protecting our troops.

The President will not agree to that. It doesn’t seem to matter how many Americans die in Iraq, how many funerals we have here at home, or what the American people think. The President won’t budge.

This new bill on Iraq keeps the status quo. With a few frills around the outside, a few reports, a few words about benchmarks. While our troops die.

I understand why this particular legislation is before us today. It’s because this President wants to continue his one man show in Iraq. The President doesn’t respect this Congress or the American people when it comes to Iraq. He wants to brush us all off like some annoying spot on his jacket."

US Senator Leahy ---

"Every Senator - for or against this military adventure - must take a stand on whether to continue the status quo or change course.

What the legislation does do is limit our aid to the Iraqi government if actions toward reconciliation are not taken, although the President may waive these limitations.

"I agree that we should tie our aid to the Iraqi government to clear benchmarks. But that alone is not sufficient. The reality is that despite spending hundreds of billions of dollars in Iraq, the violence has increased. We all know that the trends are going in the wrong direction. This piecemeal approach assures that our troops will remain in the middle of harm’s way for the foreseeable future."

"This war has been a costly disaster for our country. Our ability to fight terrorism, pursue our larger national security and foreign policy goals, and secure the welfare of every American has been diminished because of it. Thousands of our troops have lost their lives or suffered grievous, life-altering injuries. Tens of thousands - and possibly hundreds of thousands -- of innocent Iraqis have lost their lives. We have opened a gaping wound in the Middle East and severely damaged our image and our influence. This war has been a foreign policy failure of epic proportions. It is time to bring our troops home."

US Senator Bernie Sanders ---

"Americans now view the war more negatively than at any time since the war began," according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll released Thursday. "Six in Ten Americans surveyed say the United States should have stayed out of Iraq, and more than three in four say that things are going badly there - including nearly half who say things are going very badly, the poll found," the Times added.

Said Sanders, "President Bush continues to oppose the will of the American people by insisting on 'staying the course' in Iraq. Earlier this year I supported a funding bill that included a clear schedule for the redeployment. President Bush vetoed that bill and he continues to threaten to veto any bill that restricts his ability to carry out his failed Iraq policy. As a result, the bill that will be voted on tonight does not include any timeline for an end to the war in Iraq.

"As someone who voted against giving the president the authority to go to war in Iraq, I have stated consistently that I cannot and will not support giving President Bush a blank check to carry on this disastrous war."

And the Demos that say we have to fund the troops. Think about the troops. And the President won't let us. We have no choice but to do what he says. I say you sound like little whining schoolchildren. First saying No to this bill will start bringing our troops home sooner. They will not run out of anything during this redeployment. The President still has plenty of money to do this.

According to Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), "Congress appropriated $70 Billion in bridge funds on October 1, 2006 for the Iraq war. Money from this and other DOD accounts can be used to fund the troops in the field over the next few months, and to pay for the cost of the return of the troops, (which has been estimated at between $5 and $7 billion dollars)." This additional $120 Billion will do the following:
  1. Keep the war going through the end of President Bush’s term;
  2. Provide money to fuel an attack on Iran;
  3. Force the privatization of Iraqi oil;
  4. Escalate the insurgency;
  5. Increase the number of troop causalities in the middle of a civil war;
  6. Increase the number of civilian causalities;
  7. Create a demand for more troops;
  8. Enforce cutbacks of money that could be used to help America. Money that could be used for schools, healthcare, seniors, and the environment in America that would continue to be spent instead for war;
  9. Forces the destabilization of the Middle East;
  10. Erodes the public’s confidence in Congress.

The only people that won't get the money if you vote No are the Iraq contractors and corrupt politicians who the contractors give some of this money to.

The billed passed 80 YES 14 NO. Any comments Mr President. Yeah. Stupid Demos! Now it's not "my war" but it's also "your war Democrats". And don't say you didn't have the information that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, Iraq had no involvement with al-Qaeda or 9-11, and the fact Iraq had no ability to attack the United States this time suckers. He He He. Fools. We're celbrating in the White House tonight.

In the name of “the war on terror” are we to sacrifice every freedom to your demands Mr President? Will you soon be ordering warrantless house-by-house searches of neighborhoods, where you suspect a terrorist may be hiding? Will you impose new restrictions on what can be printed and broadcast. You have already traumatized the people of this nation and many in the Congress to give you whatever you want.

Is your goal to spread FEAR to gain POWER Mr President? If you don't find resistance in your "do as I say" Republican Congress you might as US citizens get a clearer picture of your "make money for me and my friends" agenda. Many US citizens will act to uphold the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that includes a renegade appointed President.

Just hold on a minute. Let me tell you something. I'm the President and if I want to do something I will. Those paper shuffling bureaucrats can say whatever they want. When I say it's legal then it's legal. You can all go to Ahhh you know.

Even though you don't welcome some checks and balances on your total power and authority to impose your will and run the country Mr. Dictator, Oh Excuse me, Mr. President Eavesdropping on Congress and spying on Americans without judicial or congressional approval is illegal. The American Bar Association opposes any future electronic surveillance inside the United States that does not comply with the provisions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, 50 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. (FISA), and urges the President, if he believes that FISA is inadequate to seek appropriate amendments or new legislation rather than breaking the law and becoming a criminal. Even Presidents must abide by the law. Dictators don't if that is what you want to be all powerful Mr. President. Then you can truely do whatever you want.

Mr President why did you say that "our Constitution is just a piece of paper". Because it didn't stop Mussolini in Italy. They had a constitution when he became their country's dictator; or Hitler, he came to power through democratic means under a German constitution. Spain had a constitution which did not prevent Franco from seizing power. Nor ought we to forget that the Soviet Union had a constitution adopted in 1936 that bore remarkable similarities to the American version. Constitutions, in other words, do not have a favorable history of limiting power and assuring individual liberty. And our US Constitution has not stopped me either.

But you did urge a gay marriage ban amendment to our Constitution. And the ban on burning the flag. Are these the most important issues facing the American people Mr. President? Less than 1% of Americans are gay or worry about burning flags. Most Americans don't talk about these issues. Why are you so concerned about them Mr. President? Because I don't have a plan for the health care crisis, rising gas prices, jobs, affordable housing, the budget deficit, immigration, or the war in Iraq. I don't want the American people to start thinking about all these other things. I need a distraction. Do you think a gay ban or flag ban amendment as your major achievements over six years will save votes for your party in November? Do you really think after the way you've screwed 99% of the American people over all these years they will reward you? Do you really think that you can "change the subject" like parents do with a child when they are crying to get them thinking about something else will work? Do you really think the American people are that stupid? Frankly Yes.

They are like children. That's why its important to have two or three key words they can remember and keep repeating them over and over. Like the Patriot Act. Being a Patriot is good so this must be good even though the majority of people don't realize how it spits on our Constitution and Bill of Rights. The next will probably be Freedom Act and you could put anything in it and it will pass also. Or 9-11 (bad) I need this to stop it. Or War on Terror. Terror is bad. I need that to stop it. Irrespective of the ramifications of your actions and how they are undermining the quality of life of most Americans. Everything you do Mr President is done for one sole purpose. To support the richest 1% and largest corporations that you take your orders from. Period.

It helped me win the 2004 election so I'll give the American people their gays and they will be happy. It's gays they want and it's gays they will get on a platter. And hopefully they won't think about the hundred other ways I'm screwing them. You know I did study history. Especially the Romans and Hitler. They were the best at getting and keeping Power and that's exactly what I plan to do. Thank you for your sincerity Mr. President.

But you sound nervous Mr. President. You haven't been drinking again have you. Hullabaloo. And don't believe those stories I passed out in the White House while drinking and watching a football game. I choked on a pretezel. That's NOT what the Landover Baptist Church Deacon and your wife say. At least you don't have to drive yourself around anymore. That should keep those DUI's off your record.

And don't believe Cheney's Secret Service agents either. They said Cheney was drunk when he almost shot his friends head off while quail shooting. It's a lie. Cheney and I don't drink. That's the last I want to hear about it. Got it! Good. And if you don't have it I'll have some people in black coats and black cars come over to your house and give you some shock and awe. No Mr. President you don't have to do that. Everything is very clear.

You spend 100x more on WMDs and War than the entire world combined. We could eliminate poverty around the world with what you spend on war. We could educate the entire planet. We could give everyone working modern running water, put a roof over everone's head, feed every starving child, give everyone in the US health care. Instead, you give no-bid contracts and Billions and Billions to your friends. Thank You Mr President.

And I understand that any disagreement with your policies makes me unloyal to our troops and unpatriotic to my country. Excuse me Mr. President for revealing your true intentions from your carefully crafted cloud of deception. And trying to save the lives of our young men in Iraq and stop your "Spend and Spend" policies that are plunging this country into a deficit that is destroying the middle-class of America. Not that you or Cheney would ever be over there to fight and die. Who is unpatriotic? You follow the instructions of your all powerful oil company masters and profit from this $500 Billion war and the $2 Billion a year in lobbying money.

You sold out the American people and its soldiers who are paying the heaviest price for this war.

#4 The last thing we got for our $500 Billion

Thousands of dead Iraqi's - Thousands of dead US soldiers

That's what we got!
