America Needs Justice

Recently, Charlie Gibson of ABC News asked President Bush if he had any regrets now that his second and final term is coming to an end. Bush was quoted as saying he regrets not having better intelligence. While most of us would readily agree with this statement, Bush was speaking within the context of the Iraq war. You see, President Bush took the opportunity to once again throw the hard working, federal intelligence agents under the bus. While Bush certainly is lacking in intelligence, it is not the type provided to him by the intelligence community. No, Bush and Cheney cherry picked the intelligence, forming their own false justification for taking us to war in Iraq. (Do you remember Joe Wilson......Valerie Plame's husband....the same Joe Wilson that provided intell to the Bush Admin. regarding the non-existence of enriched uranium in some African country (ask Sarah Palin...I'm sure she nows which one....I believe it was Niger)and because they couldnt rectify it within the scope of their cherry picked intelligence, instead chose to go after the man personally by questioning his patriotism and exposing the identity of his CIA operative wife) Now that thousands of lives have been lost, tens of thousands horribly injured, millions displaced and billions in federal funds gone forever, Bush has the audacity to place the blame for his incompetence, his corrupt and evil nature, squarely at the doorstep of the unidentifiable federal intelligence agencies. This man knows no shame. Lets hope that Obama directs his new Attorney General, Eric Holder, to launch an independent investigation into the illegal, immoral and corrupt activities of the Bush administration. Lets bring these criminals to justice!!!!
