3. I think things will be a little different from that
I am loosing hope that our own congress critters will do anything but I still have hope that others in the world will.

6. Not to mention a pension, franking privileges, free "everything"
forever. Oh yes, there is the staff needed to continue the "important" **** activities, like oiling the bike, stocking the kitchen with pretzels, elocution lessons, dog walking. You know, all those important things.

I suppose on the scale of things, it is a cheap way to get rid of him and his minions.

The library??? That would be the supreme joke on him and on the rest of us. Since everything he did while is office is "sealed", what would be there? My Pet Goat plus a lot of meaningless photo's.

5. Retirement to a huge ranch in Paraquay?
Honorary rank of "UberGruppenFuhrer" in the Nazi Party of South America?

7. What punishment was meted out to
Edited on Fri Aug-08-08 06:54 AM by Thothmes
Lyndon B. Johnson for getting 38,000 Americans killed. I thank that punishment should be sufficient.

11. I disagree that Bush sent 4000 GIs to their graves for money
I feel that he sent them to their graves because he wanted to show up his father and also because he thought that being a "war president" would leave him a great legacy.

I believe that Cheney, however, sent the GIs to their graves for money.

12. Good points.
Of course showing up your father is the stupidest reason ever for sending 4000 soldiers to their deaths.

14. I didn't say it was a good reason. In fact, I think it's a far more heinous reason to
start a war. I can't think of anything a country's leader can do that is more reprehensible than starting a war for personal reasons. At least Cheney had the decency to want world domination.

15. I have been thinking of an appropriate punishment for some time
and the best I can come up with would be to have Bush and Cheney spend the rest of their lives living along the interstate highway systems picking up trash. All day each day motorists would have the chance to give them their own piece of mind, the humiliation would be close to adequate, and the country would be cleaner.
