Bush and the Geneva Convention

[Tchocky]

The "terrorists don't respect GC" argument is wearing thin..

1) This isnt really about whoever you're fighting against, it's about your country's respect and self-image. I've used the slippery-slope argument so often in the last few years I'm not bothered anymore.

1a) How the hell can you fight "terror"? It's a bleedin' tactic, not a country.

2) Is this really about "clarifying" the GC? There would not be this kind of fuss if this was over a legal term-switching. W wants to be able to do things he cant legally do/has just been found out doing.

You right Wing Republicans...are...arrrrg!
A unfriendly bunch of war-for-profit people who think Europeans are Stupid fools. I know a Friend from America, he's now here in Austria. And Hell, he finally did Realise how much USA *Add Insult Here*.

Maybe you all should come over here and try it out!

Time for a Song Parody.

This is the USA, Mister Jones
No free health insurance or prepaid telephones
You had your Money in wallet before
But you won't have it there any more (Credit Cards)

This is the USA, Mister Green
We like the Guns nice and clean
You had a Policman to kill your Criminals before
But he won't help you out any more

Do what the Employer command
They're in the Republican Party and not in a band

This is the USA, Mister Brown
You and your Gun went to town
The Mugger had you worried about this Street
And he won't worry you anymore *Gunshot Sound*

Haha you people are going to be so mad when you see who we elect as our next president.

[Ishmael]

How do you know there will be an election after this one? Bush thinks he's called by God to lead this country until the job is done. How do you know he will leave office?

Maybe. If you AGAIN "Elect" (If you can call it that) a Republican Cowboy like Bush for President, there will be a Very angry Post here. And after this President (Wich will be Controlled by the Bush's, thier Money and Companys), there will be again: Right, a Bush!

Nostradamus was right.

But in the end it's all a Conspirancy by the three stooges.

Well, i'd be willing to bet you anything that he will, seeing as how there's this llittle thing called the 22nd Amendment to the US Consitution.

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term."

So says the guy whose country gave us Bush, secret CIA prisons and an Iraq invasion that none of us have figured out why exactly was necessary in the first place.

So what? That's just a part of the Constitution. The thing that Bush referred to as"just a piece of paper."

In wartime, his idea of the unitary executive gives him the power to suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Why do you think Kellogg, Brown & Root are building concentration camps in this country for Homeland Security? He can declare anyone a terrorist anytime for any reason at all with no legal recourse to the victim. So when they round all of us evil, traitorous, liberal democrats will you come visit us in the camps? I'm sure I'll be there. Just ask for Ivan Denisovitch.

You left out Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, the wiretapping at the UN, the withdrawl and undermining of every International Treaty from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty to the Geneva Conventions to Kyoto, and $75/barrel oil prices that we all have to pay now (which was $25/barrel in 2000)... and we're still not even scratching the damage done to the world by this halfwitted jackass of a "President" (the complete refusal to even acknowledge, let alone address, Climate Change could ultimately be the most disasterous for us all, since the US contribution to this problem is 25% of all fossil fuel emissions even though the US has less than 3% of the world's population... which about sums up the arrogance and malignant indifference of the Bush regime).

You all can Conter Anti-Bush way better than me.

I have to get a patch for my Brain.

[Immacolata]

Erm, whoa. I just wanted to make sure that everybody knows, that when you point your finger at someone else, three are pointing straight back at you. Wasn't about to launch into a complete red faced, mouth foaming anti-bush tirade...

[scandium]

*shrug* he's hovered near Nixonian approval levels at home since his "re-election" for good reason... Hitler probably had higher approval levels even while Berlin was being bombed

I love Bush. Bush rocks. I want to vote for Bush again. Let's elect Bush our King. Bush for Pope. Bush is my idol. Long live Bush.
