Why Is George W. Bush Above the Law?
Once again, a massive failure of leaderships has been
displayed in Washington. And, once again, George Bush has escaped an
independent inquiry into his irresponsible actions. For the fourth time in
less than five years, the President of the United States and his cohorts
been placed above the law. That, in itself, is a major American disaster.
When, if ever, could this have happened before? When else could one
administration have pulled off four major scandals; four devastating,
potentially impeachable screw-ups, and never have to answer for them? When
else, in the United States of America, could so many crimes of an elected
president and his cadre remain unexplained, unchallenged, and unpunished?
When? Probably never. When in history have the media sat silent through
criminal scandal at highest levels of government?
We’re not talking mistakes, here. We’re not talking poor judgment or failed
policies. We’re not talking politics as usual, with its underhanded array of
pork and perks. But we are talking about very serious violations of the
public trust, and very possibly the law, perpetrated by the elected leader
of this nation and his handlers.
Even more amazingly, we are talking about the shameful reality that not a
single one of these offenses has been investigated by a truly independent,
non-political, neutral commission, armed with subpoena powers and adequate
funding, and answerable ONLY to the people of the United States of America.
Not a single one…
George W. Bush was the man at the helm when each of the following occurred.
For that reason alone he is fully accountable to the people of the United
States for a clear and rational explanation of the role of his
administration in each of the outrages below:
1. The devastating attacks against the United States on September 11,
2001.
2. The WMD hoax designed to gain public support for an unprovoked,
illegal and ineptly planned invasion and occupation of Iraq.
3. The criminal outing of a CIA operative Valerie Plame by a person or
persons in the Bush White House.
4. The profound failure of the US government, FEMA and the Department
of Homeland Security in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Every one of these actions resulted in real or potential death and other
harm to uncalculated numbers of people. Each action, therefore, raises
valid questions of criminal culpability and/or negligence by the President
himself or people closely connected to the White House…
George Bush has had a free pass to do as he pleased for nearly five years
now. He and his henchmen have not been held accountable for any crime
against the people of this country or the world. He is above the law…
