Kanada Kev Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Mind-boggling! Check out what Move On just distributed. If Bush is pulling this shit again HOW can they NOT impeach the bastard.Dear MoveOn member,Wow. All year President Bush has been moving America closer to war with Iran. But yesterday we learned stunning news: Iran shut down its nuclear weapons program in 20031—and President Bush has known for months.2But Bush is undeterred. This morning, he held a news conference where he actually tried to portray the news that Iran isn't building a bomb as yet another reason to confront Iran! 3 He also said he hadn't known about the new evidence—a fact contradicted by his own National Security Adviser.4It's Iraq all over again. Bush is willing to ignore intelligence and lie to move us towards another war.We can't let him get away with it again. Will you write a letter to the editor of your local paper reminding folks that we've heard this story before, that Bush is misleading America on Iran just as he did on Iraq? Click here:http://pol.moveon.org/lte?campaign_id=87&id=11746-4598929-7ZpSYZ&t=2'>http://pol.moveon.org/lte?campaign_id=87&id=11746-4598929-7ZpSYZ&t=2The letters-to-the-editor section is one of the most widely read parts of the newspaper—a flood of letters can influence politicians, reporters, and the public. There are a couple key points we have to highlight in this critical moment: * Bush has been actively misleading us on Iran. Bush said today that he "only learned of the new intelligence assessment last week."5 But according to the Washington Post, National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley "said Bush was first told in August or September about intelligence indicating Iran had halted its weapons program, but was advised it would take time to evaluate." Here's the Post: President Bush got the world's attention this fall when he warned that a nuclear-armed Iran might lead to World War III. But his stark warning came at least a month or two after he had first been told about fresh indications that Iran had actually halted its nuclear weapons program.6 * Just like he did with Iraq, Bush is ignoring the intelligence and recklessly pushing towards war. We can't afford to let Bush and Cheney start another disastrous war. * Congress must act now and make it clear that President Bush has no authority to strike Iran. * The new National Intelligence Estimate shows that Iran is not the threat Bush says it is.7The public is very nervous about the prospect of another war, but the President's bully pulpit is powerful and he uses it to great effect. We need to raise our voices now.

Kanada Kev Posted December 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 The worst thing about the Hollywood writers' strike is that Colbert and Stewart are off the air THey'd be having a field day with all this shit. When are we going to see more marching in the streets in the US? It's absolutely crazy that people aren't rising up and DEMANDING their leader be impeached.

Biggest Fan Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 pt great post. We can also add to that list 'wonder bread' -sliced white bread where would we be without it. It will be very interesting to see how history judges him. As far as the Iran thing it is pretty disturbing how similar the two are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
