Cheney remains as Rove departs....

Thanks, once again, to Scott Ritter at Truthdig for another clarifying article;

"The vice president is the single greatest threat to American and international security in the world today. Not Osama Bin Laden. Not the ghost of Saddam Hussein. Not Ahmadinejad or Kim Jung Il. Not al-Qaida, the Taliban, or Jose Padilla himself.

Not even George W. Bush can lay claim to this title. It is Dick Cheney’s alone.

Operating in a never-never land of constitutional ambiguity which exists between the office of the president and the Congress of the United States, Cheney’s office has made its impact felt on the policies of the United States of America as had no vice president’s office before him. Granted unprecedented oversight over national security and foreign policy by executive order in early 2001,
many months prior to the terror attacks of 9/11,
Cheney has single-handedly steered America away from being a nation among nations (albeit superior), operating (roughly) in accordance with the rule of law, and toward its present manifestation as the new Rome, a decadent imperial power bent on global domination whatever the cost. The absolute worst of the rot that has infected America because of the policies and actions of the Bush administration has originated from the office of the vice president. The nonsensical response to the terror attacks of 9/11, seeking a “global war” versus defending the rule of law at home and abroad, taking the lead in spreading the lies that got us involved in Iraq, legitimizing torture as a tool of American jurisprudence, advocating for warrantless wiretappings of U.S.-based communications (regardless of what the Fourth Amendment says against illegal search and seizure), and pushing for an expansion of America’s global conflict into Iran—

...all can be traced back to the person of Cheney as the point of origin."

No More Excuses!!!!

BRING THEM HOME!

TROOPS COULD LEAVE ANY TIME,
AND IT WOULD ONLY TAKE A FEW WEEKS!

"US General Says Pullout Plan "Ready To Go"
NBC Nightly News says that while military planners "say it could take two years for a complete withdrawal from Iraq," a "top US commander here in Kuwait says, from a logistics standpoint, he's already got the plan and he's ready to go. All he needs is the President's order." The Washington Post reports Lt. Gen. R. Steven Whitcomb said facilities in Kuwait "have handled as many as 240,000 troops moving into and out of Iraq in as little as a three-month period during the war's major rotations. " http://www.usnews.com/usnews/politics/bulletin/bulletin_070802.htm

CLEARLY, LOGISTICS AREN'T THE PROBLEM, IT IS SIMPLY GREED. THOSE NO-BID BOOK-COOKING CORPORATIONS WITH TIES TO THE BUSH AND CHENEY CABAL ARE THE ONLY REASON WE ARE STILL THERE!

BRING THEM HOME NOW!!!
