Most were on board because they were lied to. I dont expect Bush to be the focus of this by the way..

Maybe nothing will happen and that is fine, but it would be nice to see Justice prevail over greed and profiteering.

OK they were lied to......is it their fault because they were misinformed?? Bush was misinformed. Regardless Hussein was running around over in Iraq doing "Hitler" like things and people like him need to be dealt with.......and I am glad for that. Bush Sr. should have finished the job when he was in office and I blame him for coming up short on that! Now we need to focus on getting out of there and I do not think we need to force feed Democracy to a country that does not want it, respect it or will be keeping it. This is a losing battle. Our objectives were met.....sweep up and get out!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Is that a "Democratically" fueled website with a one sided view? I am betting it is and with a heavy slant on the truth and facts. I was there and I remember how it went down.......we are all great "second guessers".......I would not want to be President I can tell you that!

I just spent 20 seconds and saw the "red flags we should have seen" line! Well we didn't......hindsight is 20/20. People do things they think are right.......maybe not everyone agrees with them....but they believe it to be right. Maybe it is our fault for missing those red flags? Red flags only appear after things go bad.

By the way....did I mention I am glad Obama won? I did not care who won......I do not hold any party line. I think Obama will do as good a job as he can......just as Bush did.

Many if not all of those on board said they had thier people check out the info before they voted to back Bush. So how do you back away from that. You can't legitimately, but you can try.

Nice smokescreen by Biden, Congers, Waxman et.al, sooz not to appoint a special prosecuter to see who in Congress was responsible for the Freddy, Fannie meltdown that has us headed for a "29" depression.

Enuff of and investigating steroids in baseball.

I was thinking the same thing. You want some bang for your prosecutorial buck, go after Frank and Dodd. Two individuals who are neck deep in the worst financial crisis since the great depression. Make the tax payers and those who were directly affected and fleeced feel like they can at least get some closure. Put a face to those who are guilty. I do not care what party they are from. Although I think we all know.


The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

How about because it isn't true?

Prove it.
