  • inactive, on 12/06/2007, -1/+141I saw this in the comments - Pat Buchanan said this morning on MSNBC that Biden should call Rice and Mike McConnell before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to ask them POINT BLANK — did they tell Bush about the NIE Report?
    What the world coming to when I agree with Pat Buchanan?
  • DeadElephantORG, on 12/06/2007, -5/+130Folks, this is a "tipping point". You can feel it. The lapdog press is FINALLY pressing in, and their tone is UGLY. Big name politicians are joining in. Most important, this lie could never have been exposed unless the cabal in power has come apart at the seams.
  • aman78, on 12/06/2007, -5/+128This lying sack of ***** has done nothing but lie during his entire time in office. And it is just amazing that no one else except Kucinich is talking about impeaching this bastard. Where are you Ron Paul. Everything else you say is right, how about impeaching the bastard.
  • spoiled1, on 12/06/2007, -4/+68Looks like the puppet masters are pulling out their hand from him.
    So, even he is impeached, the real puppet masters will escape unscathed. The real criminals are, but not limited to, Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz.
    I'd rather have a president who gets a BJ from an intern, than to have a president who lies about every thing that affects our lives in so many ways.
  • Bing11, on 12/06/2007, -1/+50Call your Representatives. He still has 13 months left to commit more treason unless we IMPEACH. Short of representatives, we march on the White House.
  • Enochyang, on 12/06/2007, -0/+45Seriously, what the ***** is it going to take to impeach Bush? And how does he have an approval rating of anything higher than 0%?
  • 4twenty, on 12/06/2007, -4/+44Thanks be to all the US citizens who gave this bozo (and his circus) a second term. Rest assured, you are roundly despised the world over.
  • pcpimpster, on 12/06/2007, -0/+37"I'd rather have a president who gets a BJ from an intern, than to have a president who lies about every thing that affects our lives in so many ways."
    I cant even count how many time ive sad that to myself over the past 7 years.


  • MattB123, on 12/06/2007, -1/+35Yeah, only a "leftist" would dislike a lying administration bent on seemingly pointless war.
  • m4lomb, on 12/06/2007, -3/+30Impeach now before it's too late. Also, put him on trial for treason.
  • mrdeathgod, on 12/06/2007, -2/+29Congress needs to grow a pair and throw this stupid ***** sonofabitch out on the street.
  • RedHerringHack, on 12/06/2007, -0/+27You resort to base insults. You fail.
  • Alkali, on 12/06/2007, -0/+24Actually, he said we have to invade Iraq for the good of our people and theirs. The logic holds!!!
  • CanadianGuy, on 12/06/2007, -2/+25I can't believe there are still Americans who support Bush, right Bill O'Reilly.
  • evil-doer, on 12/06/2007, -0/+23altho im liberal as all get out, pat buchanan is one of the real republicans. not a neocon, and tells it like it is, often.
    and yes ive agreed with quite a bit he has said lately
  • Tyr7BE, on 12/06/2007, -0/+22And people were on Clinton like a hungry man on a cheeseburger because he said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman". Something not even related to the well-being of the country!
  • radink360, on 12/06/2007, -1/+23You know clinton got impeached for lying about getting a BJ. This guy is lying about things to help bring on WWIII. Time for him to go.
  • TheSwashbuckler, on 12/06/2007, -0/+21"Here in the United States, we think..."

    You damn sure don't speak for everyone in the U.S.
  • akula89, on 12/06/2007, -3/+24when will he be impeached? what is wrong with the United Sates?
    what a disgrace.
  • cvelusc, on 12/06/2007, -0/+20Good point about the unraveling of power. I really hope you're right and something significant happens because of this situation.
  • drdepoy, on 12/06/2007, -3/+21New law: anything any public official says in a speech or any other form of public communications shall herein be treated as if it was said under oath.
  • RearNakedChoke, on 12/06/2007, -1/+19Yep. Its actually quite nice - you can know EXACTLY what he really intends or thinks about something by simply negating everything he says. Its a very black and white negation.
  • blackmage439, on 12/06/2007, -0/+17She'll just claim "I don't recall what I said..." It worked for Gonzalas...
  • Spytap, on 12/06/2007, -0/+16Here's a nice exercise: prove that no matter what country he or she is from, that they should absolutely be grateful to the United States. This should be fun.
  • Bing11, on 12/06/2007, -0/+15It's 13 months, not 27 minutes. In 13 months Bush has mis-managed some incredible feats. It took him only 18 months from 9-11 to invade Iraq. We can't afford 13 months more.
  • revjustin2, on 12/06/2007, -2/+17You keep making inane comments.
  • wolvyne, on 12/06/2007, -2/+16Son of a bitch
  • Gillfactor, on 12/06/2007, -1/+15The picture they used in the article is perfect. Classic "Oh *****" look.
  • Elranzer, on 12/06/2007, -1/+15Apparently 73% of this nation are "leftists" so Fermi I guess you're in the minority there, rightard.
  • Tangeuray, on 12/06/2007, -4/+18Paul is for Impeachment...but He wanted it done the right way(consitutional). He got Kucinich to go the the proper route.
  • toddcat, on 12/06/2007, -1/+15Bush lied? I pretty much assume he lies every time he talks.
  • iiftmlis, on 12/06/2007, -0/+14What he says he knew to be untrue. Iran was NOT close to nuclear weapons having suspended it's program in 2003.

    That's how it is that Bush lied.
  • iiftmlis, on 12/06/2007, -0/+14Bush voters don't even have the honor to apologize.
  • GoneFishing, on 12/06/2007, -0/+13I still naively believe so, and I will continue to vote on what I believe. Bush needs to go, either follow the footsteps of Nixon, or be impeached.
  • inactive, on 12/06/2007, -0/+13Screw impeached. Bush should be imprisoned. Before his term ends too. He is guilty of so many crimes. He's also guilty of attempting to incite war with Iran. Thats terrorism by anyones definition.

    He should be immediately dismissed as not being fit to perform Presidential duties and then locked up.

    Also, with all this new evidence; any and all other countries should feel free to arrest and deport him the moment he sets foot on their soil.
  • JasonCox, on 12/06/2007, -2/+15"I saw this in the comments - Pat Buchanan said this morning on MSNBC that Biden should call Rice and Mike McConnell before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to ask them POINT BLANK — did they tell Bush about the NIE Report?"
    Anyone else seeing the 'Gonzales Defense' coming back again?
  • ninjaface, on 12/06/2007, -3/+15IMPEACHMENT??? or wait.... ready, set, go.....DO NOTHING!!! Gotta love how america caves for these rich, privledged, thief, murderers. Thanks media. Tell me more about Paris and Brittiney. Ahhhh, there we go. They've lulled me back into my false sense of security.
  • JetWolf, on 12/06/2007, -0/+11Bush voters don't realize they have anything to apologize FOR, that's the tragedy.
  • aman78, on 12/06/2007, -0/+11I have never ever heard Ron Paul speak of impeachment. If you have a source, please cite it, I'd like to hear him say that.
  • Coven, on 12/06/2007, -0/+11Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we have our first "But but but...Kennedy!" and "But but but...Truman!"
  • iiftmlis, on 12/06/2007, -0/+11She will simply refuse to appear. That's the more recent tactic to deceive us.
  • aliengoods, on 12/06/2007, -1/+12I disagree. He proved he's a moron quite successfully.
  • Delphium226, on 12/06/2007, -2/+13Not much of an argument to make eh? Admit it, you have ended up on the wrong side of history and all you can do is make stupid meaningless comments.
  • Spytap, on 12/06/2007, -1/+12Your lack of perspective is the problem. Under oath or not, "to lead us into multiple wars" and "to get off with an intern" are two completely different planets of lying. To grip so tightly to one while ignoring the other shows a severe lack of integrity on your part.
  • imnojezus, on 12/06/2007, -1/+11Yes, Thinkprogress must be making this up. Obviously quoting President Bush and the White House DIRECTLY qualifies as total B.S. I can't believe I've wasted all this time not thinking for myself. Thanks Mr. jeep066!
  • Elranzer, on 12/06/2007, -0/+10If Bill Clinton could be forced to answer about his BJ under oath, why can't GW Bush be forced to answer about Iran under oath?
  • rspeed, on 12/06/2007, -3/+13I don't know... He said he wanted to invade Iraq. I wouldn't doubt that.
  • iiftmlis, on 12/06/2007, -0/+9The choice wasn't just between them. There were numerous people running. You voted for the worst president of our times and you're proud.

    Kerry's positions were all on his web site. You don't know because you didn't want to know.

    Your ignorance of the opponents position is not justification.

    It's time for you to apologize for your failure.
  • PATSCRU, on 12/06/2007, -9/+18To scared to break party rank and do it himself? Remember people, he is a republican.
