the last refuge of a scoundral
Mr. President said a lot during his interview with Tim Russert this morning, but this statement really caught my attention: " "He had the capacity to have a weapon, make a weapon. We thought he had weapons. The international community thought he had weapons. But he had the capacity to make a weapon and then let that weapon fall into the hands of a shadowy terrorist network."
He is trying to pass this off as justification for the war. That is incredible to me. What he is saying is "well, we know he could do it and we're pretty sure he wanted to do it, and since if he did it it could pass them off to people that maybe would use them against us or someone..." You know where those sorts of vaugeries would get you in a court of law? Nowhere. I don't even think a rational and objective judge would hold an accused person over for trial if that's the best that the prosecutor could come up with. But if the bogusness of the evidence came out after the trial (as it was in the case of this war), I doubt there is a single appelate court in the country that wouldn't overturn a conviction...if a conviction would have been attainable at all in the first place (I woulda been a holdout on the jury)... I guess the analogy could be questioned a bit, or at least not clear, but it comes down to this: How can the president of this country be so lax with justication when it comes to international law and the deaths of hundreds of American soldiers when it would be so easily overturned and condemned in every courtroom in this country.
How can an American president be so cold and callous, so disrespectful of the rules and laws of the international community? How can he go on national television and say that, even though all our evidence turned out to be bullshit, we are still justified? How can he not say that all those soldiers died in vain when they died protecting us from illusions, ghosts if you will.
This man, George W. Bush, has no honor at all. If he did he would take responsibility for being the total fuck-up and lousy president that he is. He would acknowledge the funerals the that he is responsible for making necessary by perhaps attending one or two, he would apologize for having jumped the gun "a bit" on the whole reversal of 200 years of American foriegn policy and invasion of a soveriegn nation with guns blazing cowboy shit under the guise of heroic savior of the free world. I already believe him to be the single worst president in American history and my disdain for the man grows even more every day.
My blood-pressure goes up just thinking about the guy.
