The Crimes of George W. Bush

Hi, this is Pearl posting an off-topic note to my blog.
As I was doing research for a new post and listening to NPR on the radio, I heard a young woman serving in Iraq (I think she was a doctor or nurse) say "there is a lot of death".
I just had to stop and write this note.

    I am so angry and disgusted with George W. Bush and his illegal war. Why has he not been impeached? Why have the Democrats in Congress not supported Senator Feingold's resolution to at least have President Bush (that incompetent crusader) censured?

The Crimes of George W. Bush

1. Starting this damn, stupid war.
   Invading Iraq against the advice of Colin Powell, ignoring the intelligence that showed that the reasons he gave to the UN before the invasion were bogus.
   
2. The abuse and torture of prisoners in Abu Ghraib.
   
3. The abuse and torture of prisoners at Gitmo (Guantanamo Bay).
   The abduction of innocent people who were subsequently sent to Gitmo, many of whom still languish there with no proper or effective legal representation.
   
4. Allowing systematic looting and lawlessness after the invasion of Iraq.
   American military commanders did not impose curfews, halt looting or order Iraqis back to work after Saddam Hussein's regime fell because U.S. policymakers were reluctant to declare U.S. troops an occupying force, says an internal Army review examined by The Associated Press.
   
5. Pursuing the war based on economic reasons and repeatedly denying that oil or economics had anything to do with his decision to go to war.
   See: Looting Iraq by Executive Order by Stephen Kerr and Halliburton; Dick Cheney, and Wartime Spoils by Lee Drutman and Charlie Cray.
   
6. Bush ignored the FISA court, ordering warrantless wiretaps of US citizens' telephones.
   

There is a lot of death in Iraq; and a lot of anger, confusion, and stupidity over here!
