The Course is Set for Impeachment - Grace Reid, Daily Kos

[BigBearJohn]

What people are really asking is why these stories haven't been big in the American media? This is the problem with Americanism (or Empirism) forgetting that it's a big, big world out there... America is not, I'm afraid, the center of the universe. This story is HUGE in Britain, India, Italy, Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Holland, South Africa ... and some other countries I can't remember right now. And it is HUGE in Occupied Iraq.

When asking, "Where's the Media?" I think its important to remember that you, the reader ARE the media. Whether or not you "seize the day,".... YOU ARE THE MEDIA.... Your opinion matters, you MAKE the news. The media is nothing more than giving the people what they want. And that sells newspapers, and that gets ratings.... but you already know this, right? "Who controls the media, controls the fates." Well, that means YOU!! If you can find the news and report on it, if you can think things through for yourself and write a letter to the editor, if you can decide on these issues and write to your Representatives... YOU ARE THE MEDIA. And as Congressman Conyers has pointed out, your letters make more of a difference than you'll ever know.

Everyone knows that this war is stinking and criminal , and has known for years... so why is this newsworthy? Because it's the first material evidence that diplomacy was NEVER an option. That Bush lied to Congress, that intelligence was fabricated to fit the policy, that the deal between the US and the UK to go to war was struck in April 2002, and there was going to be nothing to stop it.

I guarantee you, there is no one more angry and insulted by the revelations in these leaked documents than Congress and the House of Representatives, and that goes for BOTH Democrats and Republicans.

5. NO one is without vunerability...

It may take more work or time, but everyone can be caught. Why admit defeat before the battles over? The GOP will run for the hills if there is enough to establish guilt. In the end they need to protect there own ass

6. Exactly....there will be no "impeachment." Maybe a "restraint" but how

do you restrain the hundreds of RW Think Tanks/PNAC'ers/Religious Fundies/Corporations/Contolled Media and other factions who have supported and are still supporting the Evil Empire?

That anyone thinks this guy is going to be impeached means they really haven't thought about the ludicrousness of a Bush being impeached. Bushies just don't have that kind of "bad luck." They work for those who own it all...

2. "Yeah, but we got rid of Saddam and he gassed his own people!"

That's enough for 99% of the sheeple in this country.

3. My letter to Tx Congressman Kevin Brady

Dear.......etc

"Conspicuous by its absence is your signature from 88 other congress members asking for an explanation from the White House over the minutes from the British Security meeting. Probably not the correct description of the letter but I’m sure you are aware of it

While I don’t expect you to agree with the allegations of the letter I do expect you to be interested in seeking the truth of the matter as a representative of all the people of this district. Yourinterest in this matter should be above party politics.

If there is no substance to the allegations, then it should be easy enough to prove. I just don’t understand the disinterest in light of the seriousness of the issue, at the very least. We’ve lost over 1600 people in Iraq now and there should be no doubt about “why”."

Sincerely
Splat!


He never answers me and I think is quite tired of my letters and emails - Splat

4. Mine always responds with some BS form letter

essentially painting "how complex" the issues facing our society are BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

The impression it leaves is that it's too involved for me to possible understand.

Actually it pisses me off!

7. the sane way NPR handles weighty issues these days...

specially the economy.

now i know these topics are complex but to use that as a justification to deal with these topics by ignoring them or worse treating them like reading tea leaves SUCKS.

i guess us Americans are just to dumb to even have something explained to us.

8. It sure would be nice if the next country these criminals wanted

to visit said "No thanks, we're all set." Our media would have to report about it & KKKarl might have a hard time spinning it. That would be fun to watch.

"....there is no one more angry and insulted by the revelations in these leaked documents than Congress and the House of Representatives, and that goes for BOTH Democrats and Republicans." Some Repubs may be embarrassed, but not too many of them. Outside of a few Dems, nobody seems to care.
