War Crimes

Post by lazarus »

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, a military lawyer by training, said in his opening statement that "bizarre" legal reasoning was used to justify the harsh techniques. The South Carolina lawmaker predicted the opinions supporting the techniques would go down in history "as some of the most irresponsible, shortsighted legal advice" ever offered.

Joe is a warmonger

Post by lazarus »

Senior lawyers inside and outside the Bush administration repeatedly warned the White House that it was risking judicial scrutiny of its detention policies in Guantanamo Bay if it did not pursue a more pragmatic legal strategy that considered the likely reaction of the Supreme Court. But such advice, issued periodically over the past six years, was ignored or discounted, according to current and former administration officials familiar with the debates.

Of Course Bush ignored the law...
he's a lawless, shit for brains warmonger, with no respect for humanity.


Only an absolute fool would defend or support the transgressions of the Bush administration.

You fucking idiots should be ashamed of yourselves, and I'm referring to Don , Joe and Knun.

You fucking idiots belong in hell.

i read an article last week...about the torture at the prisons run by the military..this guy was the senior investigating general...now retired...of the inquire into torture at abu and gitmo...he said war crimes charges should be brought against "senior political" persons...those who ordered the crime.

the standard was set at the war crimes trials after WWII..."we were just following orders" ...doesn't fly when it is an illegal order.

now the bush admin is pushing oil drilling in best left alone ecosystems...who bets the same companies now making profits that soar above 'war profiteering' standards, get the contracts?

Bush the Criminal

(AP) President Bush asserted executive privilege Friday to withhold documents from a congressional investigation into whether he pressured the Environmental Protection Agency to weaken decisions on smog and greenhouse gases.


Bush is the worst president in the history of this formerly great country of ours.

T. Boone Pickens Loses Swift Vote Bet, Refuses To Pay Up

Post by lazarus »

T. Boone Pickens refuses to honor bet with John Kerry.

A Vegas gambling expert counts himself among those questioning Texas billionaire T. Boone Pickens' refusal to pay $1 million to Swift boat veterans who claim they won Pickens' challenge to disprove political claims he made in 2004.

Some Vietnam veterans are claiming that Texan businessman T. Boone Pickens is going back on his word to pay $1 million to anyone who can find inaccuracies in claims made by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth during the 2004 presidential election.

Agreeing with the veterans, oddsmaker Ben Eckstein says that failing to deliver on a bet is "sacrilegious." "In the world of betting and gambling, your word is your bond," said Eckstein, president of America's Line, a sports and entertainment oddsmaking business. "Whether it's a $7 bet or a $500,000 bet, once it's made and once you shake on it, it should be done."

There you have it, Joe…
Another dishonest republican scumbag get’s caught dicking the dog.
Boone is a typical shitbag warmonger with no respect for the truth. He lost the bet, now he refuses to pay up. This story reminds me so much of scumbag Joe and shitbag Knun that I just couldn’t let it go un-noticed.

Bad Leadership

Post by lazarus »

WASHINGTON - A new Army history of the Iraq conflict faults the invasion's top U.S. commander for his sudden decision to overhaul the Baghdad-based military command, The New York Times said in its Sunday edition.

The 696-page report, set for release on Monday, focuses on the 18 months after President Bush announced in May 2003 that major combat operations in Iraq were over, the Times said.

Yep,
bad planning by bad leadership. Only an absolute fool would defend or support the transgressions of the Bush administration.

Bush supporters are the shit of the Earth.

More Shit From Joe's Heroes

Post by lazarus »

WASHINGTON - The Defense Department, the nation's biggest polluter, is resisting orders from the Environmental Protection Agency to clean up Fort Meade and two other military bases where the EPA says dumped chemicals pose "imminent and substantial" dangers to public health and the environment.

The Pentagon has also declined to sign agreements required by law that cover 12 other military sites on the Superfund list of the most polluted places in the country.


Only an absolute fool would defend or support the transgressions of the Bush administration.

The Truth About Warmongers

Post by lazarus »

AP) The number of civilians killed in fighting between insurgents and security forces in Afghanistan has soared by nearly two-thirds in the first half of this year, to almost 700 people, a senior U.N. official said Sunday.

The figures are a grim reminder of how the nearly seven-year war has failed to stabilize the country and suggest that ordinary civilians are bearing a heavy toll, particularly from stepped-up military attacks.

More Bush Nonsense

Post by lazarus »

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A federal appeals court has slammed the reliability of U.S. government intelligence documents, saying just because officials keep repeating their assertions does not make them true.

A three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington likened the Bush administration's case to a line in an 1876 nonsense poem by Lewis Carroll: "I have said it thrice: What I tell you three times is true."

So very true. This is the problem we have been having with the Bush administration from the beginning. Unfortunately, it has cost thousands of innocent lives.

Sadly, it is the same pathetic rhetoric we've been getting from the likes of Joe and Knun, neither whom have EVER been able to back up their paranoid, delusional bullshit. They are cowards by birthright.

By Adam Nagourney

updated 9:00 p.m. MT, Wed., July. 2, 2008
WASHINGTON - Senator John McCain ’s presidential campaign has gone through its second shake-up in a year. Responding to Republican concerns that his candidacy was faltering, Mr. McCain put a veteran of President Bush’s 2004 campaign in charge of day-to-day operations, and stepped away from a plan to have the campaign run by 11 regional managers, Mr. McCain’s aides said Wednesday.

The elevation of Steve Schmidt — who worked closely with Karl Rove — at Mr. McCain’s headquarters represented a sharp diminishment of the responsibilities of Rick Davis, who has been Mr. McCain’s campaign manager since the last shake-up nearly a year ago.

The shift was approved by Mr. McCain after several of his aides, including Mr. Schmidt, went to him about 10 days ago and warned him that he was in danger of losing the presidential election unless he revamped his campaign

ANYONE who would seek advice from karl rove, or his cohorts is a criminal.

Yellow Journalisim.......

pip,

"ANYONE who would seek advice from karl rove, or his cohorts is a criminal."

Would it be safe to assume that you neglected to separate the comment above from the body of the article? As there are no opening or closing quotation marks, it's difficult to tell where the comments of Mr. Adam Nagourney end, and your personal opinion begins.

If all of your post was in the article, would that qualify as "yellow journalisim"? :)

Thanks in advance,

Opinions.......

Post by Joe Ribaudo »

pip,

There are people, like you, who expect every statement of "fact" they present to be accepted as the final word. Asking for a clarification, when your assertions are open to interpretation, is not an attack on you.

If you are unable to say where the bias/yellow journalism is in the article you posted, it's because you can't find it. It was a simple question.
Your answer should have been that you don't have a clue, which seems obvious.

Posting on a public forum, such as this, opens us all up to questions on the "facts" we present. An intelligent response to back up what we have presented, only makes our position stronger. You have seldom been able to do that, and resort to personal attacks instead. Your reply to my request for a clarification on what you found to be yellow journalism/bias in the article, was to post a sight about what yellow journalism was.

The question is: What did you find in the article that would qualify it as yellow journalism? If there is nothing, just say I made a mistake and we will all understand. Right now, we are left with the impression that you used the appellation and when questioned, you Googled it and pasted, what you thought, answered the question.

As a school-boy, there are no real life consequences when you are wrong........it's no big deal. When you leave school and enter the real world, your decisions, comments and conclusions will affect your life to a great degree. Many people these days, want to blame everyone else for their poor decisions in life. George Bush, or the government, are always the reason they lost their job, home, wife, dog........whatever. It's never a results of their own poor planning and decisions.

Your perceived attacks on you, by me, are nothing more than an excuse for having nothing of substance to back up your posts. Random Internet sites are your stock in trade, and statements from anonymous sources your proof. That may be fine for your college classmates and professors but people living in the real world may find it all a bit flimsy.

You still have a great deal to offer these forums, considering your historical background, but you need to take yourself a little less seriously.

Just my opinions, but that's what forums are for...........personal opinions.

Take care,

Joe Ribaudo

just because someone does not answer your inane questions, does not mean they do not have the answer....
it is sad that all you have are insults for people who's knowledge base extend far beyond the simple got you pegged mentality.

interesting that not one of the people you have insulted and harassed have ever opened a conversation with you, yet you continually interrupt and pretend you have some intellectual or moral superiority...

Constitutional Authority

Post by lazarus »

(CBS/AP) A federal judge said that President Bush does not have the constitutional authority to overstep the law establishing the government's ability to conduct warrantless wiretaps on American citizens.

U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker on Wednesday said that when Congress passed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in 1978 it established the "exclusive" means for engaging in wiretaps, and that the president in his capacity as commander in chief could not evade that law.

Again, Bush was in clear violation of the law. Again, Joe will either skirt the truth, or ignore it entirely.

Denial Changes Nothing

Post by lazarus »

WASHINGTON - A federal judge overseeing Guantanamo Bay lawsuits ordered the Justice Department to put other cases aside and make it clear throughout the Bush administration that, after nearly seven years of detention, the detainees must have their day in court.

"The time has come to move these forward," Judge Thomas F. Hogan said Tuesday during the first hearing over whether the detainees are being held lawfully. "Set aside every other case that's pending in the division and address this case first."

The Bush administration hoped it would never come to this. The Justice Department has fought for years to keep civilian judges from reviewing evidence against terrorism suspects. But a Supreme Court ruling last month opened the courthouse doors to the detainees.

Another example of the blatant disregard for the US Constitution and the rule of law by George W. Bush and his criminal administration.

Wait till we hear the piss poor evidence presented against the majority of these so called "Enemy Combatants" . Bush didn't want a real court to hear these cases because there is no real evidence. Most of these guys were caught in a round-up. Less than a handful are actually believed to be dangerous or involved with terror organizations.

corruption

Post by lazarus »

Former White House adviser Karl Rove defied a congressional subpoena and refused to testify Thursday about allegations of political pressure at the Justice Department, including whether he influenced the prosecution of a former Democratic governor of Alabama.

Rep. Linda Sanchez, chairman of a House subcommittee, ruled with backing from fellow Democrats on the panel that Rove was breaking the law by refusing to cooperate — perhaps the first step toward holding him in contempt of Congress.

Afghan civilians have suffered from a rash of bombings this month. Around 55 civilians were killed in a massive bomb attack on the Indian Embassy in Kabul on Monday, while a government commission said this week that U.S. airstrikes killed 47 civilians in Nangarhar on July 6.
