"This Advice Mr , Bush Shut The Hell Up"
Special Comment
By Keith Olbermann
Anchor, 'Countdown' - MSNBC
The war in Iraq, your war, Mr. Bush, is about how you accomplished the derangement of two nations, and how you helped funnel billions of taxpayer dollars to lascivious and perennially thirsty corporations like Halliburton and Blackwater, and how you sent 4,000 Americans to their deaths for nothing.

What Keith Olberman says has about as much value to me as a nickle made out of rotten wood.
Keith Olberman is a left wing hatchet man. He should not even be on television trying to represent himself as a journalist. The man is disgraceful.

I hear your comments about Olberman Rick, and to some extent I agree. He is certainly passionate though.
What do you have to say about this disastrous interview by Bush though? Some of Bush's comments I found downright insulting.

monkeysmama21 39 daysHmmm.....yes, he really is passionate. I am curious as to what everybody thinks that Bush should have done after 911? I used to think that I knew the answer to this, but I'm not so sure now and so I am honestly curious to hear what you all think would have been the right thing?? Also, what do you think he should have done regarding Hussein? I say that, because I already know that people are going to argue that Iraq had nothing to do with 911, so we will make them two separate topics for the sake of argument. Do you think that Hussein should have been left alone? Even though most everyone has agreed that at one time they thought there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq (just took it back afterward), do you think it was wrong to ever go in there? If so, what should he have done?

Ahhh. Then you have absolutely no idea what he is referring to. Olberman is actually commenting on an interview that President Bush gave Politico and Yahoo, where he answered questions from the public, admitted that the evidence that there were WMDs in Iraq was flawed and incorrect, and fluffed his way through a few more awkward questions, whilst trying to get everyone to vote Republican because Democrats would bring in another 9/11. So far, so much of the usual to be honest - nothing really to write home about.
However, I think that President Bush saying he gave up golf as a gesture of solidarity to the troops may have been a little patronising and indeed insulting to the families of those killed. Especially when it took him a little while to make this grand gesture, and the fact that the decision to give up golf conveniently coincided with a knee injury that prevented him from walking around a golf course all day...

Are people trying to convince others that only President Bush makes speaking and thought errors? I know its fun to poke fun for the left to poke fun at Republican Presidents. This is nothing new. But are you all under some illusion that Democrats don't make just as many bone-headed statements?
To me this is all meaningless. More of the same.
I am sure if Clinton or Obama get elected they will NEVER make a speaking or thought error. Yes indeedy.

Yes, but Rick...so many of them? Continuously? Every time they open their mouths?
Do you agree with what he said? Can you understand why people were shocked by the 'rediculous' comments made by your commander in chief? How do you think the statement made by him (and repeated by the world press) made the families of your dead soldiers feel?
I am not poking fun at your president Rick, I am disgusted by him. I do not find his comments funny or amusing, I find them repulsive.

As for skirting the issue...I deliberately chose not to address it, since it's a dead issue.
We must concentrate our efforts now on the presidency, and clearly, the only sane choice is Sen. McCain.

I don't know Ari, I'd say Bush has far surpassed the Clintons in in the number of innocent people's needless deaths that he's contributed to so far. I already know how you'll say he's not responsible for the deaths of innocent Iraqi civilians, he had no choice about Iraq after 9-11, etc., blah, blah, your usual talking points, so don't bother addressing me. As Bruce would say, I'm just putting the rebuttal out there for those who can see the contradiction and choose to be intellectually honest.
As a side note, I can only hope that Bush, as Jon Stewart recently pointed out on The Daily Show when he interviewed John McCain-your man Ari- that since McCain has supported Bush on so many policies in the last two years in order to woo the Repub voter base, Bush may end up being McCain's "Rev. Wright" for McCain, the mentor/supporter that frightens and turns off voters. Wouldn't that be ironic?

Arizonagal http://www.singsnap.com/snap/forum/topic/a9203d3I'm not part of the 10% of the American population who identify themselves as "9-11 conspiracy theorists". Any intelligent, thinking person understands that Bush was not responsible for the terrorist attack on 9-11. He acted responsibly in the defense of our country and our people.
And I think it's great that McCain supports Bush on many of his policies...including not surrendering to the enemy.

I'll clarify, Eileen. Stewart was saying that McCain being an ally of Bush and, more importantly, having been endorsed by Bush, may hurt him with independent voters this fall. Why would that be so different than voters, mainly white ones, being turned off on Obama because he was/has been associated with Wright?
It's no accident that McCain has been very careful lately what he sides with Bush on and that you can bet Bush will not be campaigning for McCain this fall in any of the swing states.

I am not and will not put down president Bush. The only mistake he made with the war was by not forcing both of the Clinton's to be on the front line of combat. Perhaps that would of given them a chance to earn an ounce of respect..something they managed to totally lose after holding office.
I do not agree with every decision Bush has made..but I much rather have him in office than any Clinton. And regarding two topics up above
1. the war... i have to wonder...how many of you had fathers, grandfathers, husbands or any loved ones that went to war for this country? How many of you are able to sit there in your chairs and curse our president..because some point in time in this country's history....a soldier went to war to protect your freedom. My dad, my grandad both were US Veterans,..and they were damn proud ..I would never dishonor them or any soldier by not supporting their efforts now.
2. the gas prices...I want to know why is it that the consumer is paying the highest ever for gasoline..yet the oil companies reported record breaking "profits"..not earnings ..but yes record breaking "profits". This was on the national news about 3 weeks ago..and a legal team was suppose to be investigating...did any one hear the outcome?

Demand Immediate Action on a Bill of Impeachment of President Bush,
Vice President Cheney and other civil Officers of the United States
Demand that your congressional representative
pressure John Conyers and the House Judiciary Committee
A message from Ramsey Clark
Dear Rudy,
George Bush has brought the American People in eight months short of eight years:
Take action now!
You can take action right now to keep the impeachment movement going strong.
Click this link to send your letter to pressure the House Judiciary Committee
Make a donation!
Click this link to make an urgently needed donation to the impeachment movement. Building the momentum of this historic movement requires help from people like you. Millions demand impeachment, and with Congress stalling, only our popular pressure can carry out the critical tasks before us.-- wars he initiated and accelerated in Afghanistan and Iraq that have cost hundreds of thousands of lives, including thousands of U.S. soldiers killed and tens of thousands disabled for life with no intention and little prospect of ending direct U.S. military involvement half a world away in the next eight years;
-- vast increases in military expenditures, erosion of the planets environment, greater global warming, and a staggering National Debt;
-- pervasive violations of the Bill or Rights, civil rights and civil liberties of U.S. citizens and human rights of foreigners including summary executions, torture, kidnapping, prolonged secret detention, and massive invasions of privacy;
-- corruption of justice by pursuing political and selective prosecutions, false charges and national, ethnic, racial and religious persecution and profiling;
-- tax cuts for the rich, neglect of the poor, $4 a gallon gasoline, high prices for food and other necessities, mortgage foreclosures on the homes of tens of thousands of American families, a pattern of policies intended to enrich the rich and impoverish the poor in the U.S. and abroad.
President Bush has concealed, misrepresented and falsified facts essential to governance in a free society to mislead the Congress, the Judiciary and the people.
In his remaining eight months, President Bush will continue to threaten other nations in violation of international law and clearly intends to commit new aggressions in his belligerent presidency. If not stopped by impeachment he may strike Iran’s nuclear projects and immerse the United States in avoidable war for a generation far more exhausting than any we have known.
Seeking to prevent anyone from daring to even talk with empires, or peoples he proclaims “evil”, Bush invokes “appeasement” of the Nazis, as he condemns “...the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history” to prevent any communication with enemies he selects. Yet he knows that not only Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter have proposed meetings with Iran, Syria, North Korea, Hamas, Hezbollah and others to resolve conflicts, but that his own Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice, and Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, Admiral William J. Fallon, immediate past commander of all U.S. forces in the Middle East and his predecessor General John P. Abizaid, among many other U.S. leaders, have urged dialogue with Bush defined evil empires, as a means of reducing tension and avoiding war.
George Bush knows only force. When he speaks of freedom as his purpose, he intends force as his means. Freedom from the barrel of the gun. He believes torture, kidnaping, secret detention are the way to freedom.
Above all he uses deliberate deception, concealment of facts and outright lies to the American people and the world as the way to start the wars he begins, but fails to end.
Completely arrogant, he built a $700 million dollar U.S. Embassy, the largest and most expensive in history, in the heart of Baghdad in the midst of a half decade bloody occupation of all Iraq, his Imperial Capitol in the Emerald City, exposed to daily mortar attacks. And a major new $60 million dollar U.S. prison away from home just north of Kabul, an Afghan Guantanamo, surely good for the recruitment of 25,000 Muslims from around the world who cannot bear to see a new alien torture factory on Muslim soil.

In the final eight months of his presidency George Bush has made it clear he will be the decider of the next eight years and more. What else can he mean when he lectures the Israeli Knesset telling it “...Israel’s population may be just over 7 million. But when you confront terror and evil you are 307 million strong because America stands with you.”, and in the same breath proclaims that letting Iran acquire nuclear weapons would be an “unforgivable betrayal of future generations ... America stands firmly with you in opposing Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions.” And that immediately after both Israeli Prime Minister Olmert and major opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu, whose address immediately preceded Bush’s, called for harsh action to be taken against Iran’s nuclear development.
Of course, Iran like the rest of the world knows both the U.S. and Israel have nuclear warheads capable of obliterating whole nations and major new nuclear arms programs, all in violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Threatened nations may believe possession of nuclear weapons is the only deterrent to U.S. aggression.
While President Bush continues his quest for a “peace” agreement between Israel and Palestine, he arms and incites Palestine to civil war, condones ever expanding Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank and proclaims the U.S. as “proud to be Israel’s closest ally and best friend” in a rare moment of truthfulness, hardly reassuring Palestinians that he can be an honest broker and enraging Arab peoples who have suffered with Palestine for sixty years.
After praising Israel, which has brought Palestine to tenuous conditions of impoverishment and sudden death, Bush, who has reduced the population of Iraq to the most miserable and endangered on earth with one in five in internal, or external exile, lectures “nations across the Middle East” to “...treat their people with the dignity and respect they deserve.”
There has been no greater failure in the history of the Congress and the American people than our present failure to proceed with impeachment proceedings against George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and others for these long near eight years of high crimes and misdemeanors, trashing our most precious principles by torture, aggression, and lies, making America the enemy of humanity in many eyes. Our failure to act now may expose America and the world to years of war, impoverishment, environmental degradation and suffering.
The Constitution is far more explicit about the importance and procedure for impeachment than any other power vested in the Congress.
It provides in Article II, Section 4, that “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors” and in Article I, Section 2, that “The House of Representatives ... shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.”
A Bill of Impeachment filed in the House of Representatives is referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The Judiciary Committee has the primary responsibility for initiating and receiving all Bills of Impeachment, investigating, conducting hearings, voting on and sending those Bills of Impeachment to the House of Representatives for final determination. Its faithful performance of this awesome duty is essential to the integrity, honor and survival itself of Constitutional government in the United States.
The Judiciary Committee and its Chairman have failed to act in the face of overwhelming evidence of the most grievous high Crimes and Misdemeanors ever to imperil our nation and its place among nations.
It is imperative that We, the People of the United States, demand of the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives and its Chairman John Conyers that they immediately commence consideration of the many allegations of impeachable offenses by President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and other civil Officers of the Untied States and present a comprehensive Bill of Impeachment for Committee consideration by July 4, 2008.

Iran is a menace to the free world. Once they get nukes there leaders have proclaimed and exclaimed that they will use them. Why should we believe otherwise, Iran has been talked to in the past and never lived up to there promises, the only thing that seems to work is force with them. to go politically correct on this issue and hand all a nuke would be a very tragic mistake rudy. Political correctness and misdirected blame do more to ruin this great nation than the acts to defend and protect it. Many philosophers who live in an imaginary ideal world would suffer there death if left to deal with the lions that would devour them when all they see is beauty and harmony with nature.. People talk the talk but im not willing to make that walk with them. Use real sense and keep America strong and take the war to those who support those that strive to do us harm.
Some believe that america deserved what it go on 911, I for one do not buy into this way of thinking what are your thoughts on this?
Side note---In the beginning of the war protesters vowed no war for oil, making Iraqi oil tabu to use to help defray the cost of this war to oust a brutal dictator and protect us interest, yet now some of these same people scream use Iraqi oil and lower our gas prices ironically these people have fought to achieve what they have received and now they don't want it! Being so partisan that you can't remember where you stood before and you keep finding reasons to blame others for something you helped create really is disgraceful and cowardice. Enviromentalist and extreme left wingers fought to keep us from drilling in Alaska and other places around our own nation in international waters now we have the chinese off our coast doing the same thing and many of the then enviromentalist are screaming why don't we drill our own oil. People remember where you stood on the issues and remember you cannot have it both ways.

I am from a family of veterans, including my husband who is a Vet Nam war vet. Lest we forget that Clinton evaded the draft.
In regard to the "oil shortage", perhaps Clinton is responsible, since he vetoed the oil drilling bill.
Incidentally, why the attack on Bush at this late date...since he's leaving office in several months? Is this motive due to the fact that Obama supporters wish to align McCain with Bush?
