Now that I've set the tone I'll get on with my post. I have been out of the loop for about a week but I've kept up with what's going on and I am, not surprisingly, more than a little concerned. Actually I'm bloody furious as usual!
I would like for you to consider a couple of things and to facilitate that process I'm going to start out by making a simple statement that isn't as off the wall as it may sound. It really isn't off the wall, trust me....... not off the wall. Here goes; George W. Bush is a raving megalomaniac and is leading, no not possible, is shoving, no pushing, no coercing, no bamboozling, no lying, no........ all of the afore mentioned, this nation into an abysmal pit from which I doubt it will ever return. Please understand that this is just the world according to the Sergeant Major and is strictly from my perspective. Now I'm going to keep this simple. Very simple and based on information that is common knowledge straight out of main stream media. That is the "so called liberal" main stream media. And please feel free to Google any one of my statements below to find a reasonable source to corroborate my statements. Believe me you'll get a hit or two for each one.
Here it is.
- First George W. Bush came into office with the intention of invading Iraq.
- Then using the tragedy of 9/11 and made up weapons of mass destruction, and fake documents alleging attempts to buy "yellow cake" from Niger, and bad intelligence about an "alleged" meeting of an al Qaeda agent with an Iraqi agent in Prague he took the country to war.
- He allowed members of his staff to divulge classified information causing irreparable damage to national security.
- He declared, with the support of Congress "war" in perpetuity on an ideology thereby insuring war powers for his entire presidency.
- He then used that declaration, through purposeful misinterpretation, as an excuse to spy on Americans in violation of the fourth amendment to the constitution.
- Prior to invading Iraq he fired his senior military staff for not agreeing with him on the invasion of Iraq. Specifically they said he needed more troops and more money and more equipment.
- He then ordered the invasion of Iraq without, or at least with extremely poor, prior planning and without sufficient troops to accomplish the mission and subsequent obvious required occupation.
- He ordered and executed a war and occupation without properly equipping the soldiers with the required armored vehicles, body armor, and weapons.
- He ordered the incarceration of American citizens ("enemy combatants") without due process.
- He ordered the rendition of prisoners of war for the purposes of torture.
- He created a situation as Commander in Chief that allowed and condoned the torture of prisoners.
- He outsourced the "reconstruction" of Iraq in a no bid contract with the corporation which his vice president had headed and with whom he still had financial dealings. Here: http://www.truthout.org/...
- He allowed that contractor to misappropriate (steal) billions of taxpayer dollars.
- He allowed the same contractor to provide contaminated water to his soldiers due to lack of oversight and failed to take corrective action after the act was revealed.
- He has allowed the military to deteriorate to the point of being ineffective and incapable of accomplishing the defense of the nation. Here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/...
- He has failed to properly care for the wounded soldiers and veterans.
- And while he was at it he managed to anger the Muslim world to the point that the radical or potentially hostile elements of Iraq, Iran, Palestine and a few other Middle Eastern countries are now gaining more control.
George W. Bush is still president and Congress has not begun the process of impeachment. Are the laws different for a president than they are for a soldier or any other American citizen? Are the legal standards different for a president than they are for a soldier or any other American citizen? Are presidents above the law? Is dereliction of duty as Commander in Chief and violation of the fourth amendment to the constitution as president not a criminal act for the president but are for soldiers and citizens? Why has the Congress not done its job? There is ample evidence. It's really that simple. There is ample evidence and Congress is not acting. I ask again, why has Congress not begun the process of impeachment? Are these crimes so much less heinous and vile as perjury or fornication in the oval office?
I for one am sickened by this president and his disdain and out right dislike for the American solider, the American people, and the Constitution of the United States. George W. Bush does not care what happens to American soldiers. That is the only conclusion a rational thinking person can come to. I am one soldier that thinks it's time for impeachment.
Let me close with another quote that most appropriately fits our Commander in Chief.
"A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned to walk forward." - Franklin D. Roosevelt
Nuff said.
Those Are The Sergeant Majors Thoughts On That
