BUSH: in the middle east brokering a peace deal

[goliath]

but making billion-dollar weapons deals with both sides. am i the only one who believes the two goals to be fundamentally opposite!? he's supposed to be talking 'peace' (which could be a great punch line considering the regions history) yet he's selling smart bombs!?? wtf!? i mean really. i also find it funny that israel starts shooting at the palestinians again before bush has even left the area...lost cause?

[goliath]

and another thing - selling weapons to the saudi's!!????!! have people forgotten that the majority of the hijackers of 9/11 were from SAUDI ARABIA!!??

[THE BOUNCER]

agreed on both points and hoping he doesn't start world war 3 before he is out of office next year.

Yeah what the fuck was he thinking? we all know for a fact that saudis are harboring most of the terorists and he goes and sells them all the latest weapons. What the fuck?

[goliath]

i am completely dumbfounded by the fact that he hasn't been impeached for crimes against *insert charge of choice here as there is a long list to choose from*.

[goliath]

here is a partial list his party and administration have offered up so far...and this is only a small part of the list!

Dick Cheney's secretive Energy Task Force was investigated by the GAO and the case is currently pending at the Supreme Court.

The Homeland and Lilly Protection Act

The Plame Game is under investigation by the Justice Department.

Bush's Medicare scam and the circumstances that led the administration to lie to Congress about the cost of the legislation is under investigation by the HHS inspector general's office.

The massive intelligence failure that led Bush to lie to the world about the Iraqi threat is under investigation by a congressionally-authorized independent commission (which Bush fought the creation of).

Bribes offered on the House floor to Rep. Nick Smith (R-Mich.) in exchange for his vote on Bush's Medicare plan are under investigation by the House Ethics Committee and the Justice Department.

Attorney General John Ashcroft was under investigation by the Federal Election Commission for violating campaign finance laws in 2000, and the FEC concluded that Ashcroft accepted $110,000 in illegal contributions.

An investigation into House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's criminal fundraising schemes in Texas -- which allegedly used corporate funds to help state GOP lawmakers -- is already before a Texas grand jury.

Republican staffers on the Senate Judiciary Committee were investigated for stealing thousands of confidential memos from Dem computers, a matter that has now been referred to the Justice Department for a possible criminal probe.

Republican Connecticut Gov. John Rowland is under a criminal investigation (and an impeachment investigation) after he lied about prominent state contractors and several government aides paying for refurbishments to his lake-front cottage.

Former Rep. Bill Janklow (R-S.D.) was under investigation for vehicular manslaughter, a crime for which he was later convicted.

The Pentagon launched a formal investigation into well-armed evangelist and three-star General William G. Boykin, Bush's pick for deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence, and his record of extreme religious rhetoric.

The circumstances that led to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 are under investigation by a congressionally-authorized independent commission (which, again, Bush fought the creation of and then later resisted cooperating with); and subsequently the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States

And honorable mentions should go, of course, to investigations into Halliburton (Dick Cheney's former company) and Enron (George Bush's biggest corporate supporter).

I wonder if they promised lower oil prices in exchange? I just heard on the radio oil prices went down a couple box per barrel.
