Oh, and by the way, there are statutes for war crimes that do not involve death (8 years and five years for the conspiracies to commit them), and they are expiring every day. Your offhand assertion of the case of Demjanjuk is completely inapposite.

AND have you never taken over a job and tried to figure out just what went on before? It’s not like Obama put Pannetta there for NO reason… gah. Let’s also not forget dick cheney’s continued insistance that he has some “inside” information and/or contacts in his continued book sale tour. I think we’d want to be finding out just who those people are. Do you think they’re going to step out and say “Yes, I pass all the classified info on to Dick, after all he’s the VP”? We’ll they’re not.

The thing is you seem to want Obama to act just exactly like the republicans acted and go off all half cocked over every little thing. He’s NOT them if you haven’t noticed. I, for one, want to keep on with HIS agenda no matter who is calling for hims to alter it.

I’m saying America cannot do both. You want to forget the house is on fire to determine just who tattled on whom for playing with matches. And you want the Fire Chief to listen to your squabble instead of putting out the freaking fire! No, I’m sorry but you’re out of time here. Putting Dick Cheney’s agenda ahead of what NEEDS to be done right now is not on my radar.

Rule of Law… sure. Constitution…. sure. Right NOW…. NO. Right now we need to be making damn sure the republicans cannot manage to drive the news cycle and cannot create a divide and conquer tactic.

I always knew there were people who just can’t think things through, in the larger sense, I just didn’t think they were “on my side”. IF you’ve never been in a tactical war with politics, yes even office politics, then you really should just take my word for it. Now is not the time.

Oh, and dick cheney wants his high horse back when you’re done riding it.

Of course, as I suspect through most of Shrub’s life, the lawyers (probably judges too) appear to have been bought & paid for.

I don’t see the problem with what Pelosi said. Graham backs her up on that basicially though they may have been at different meetings. Of course the CIA didn’t come out and tell Congress a damn thing in any straing forward way at all. And of course Congress, including Pelosi, didn’t call anyone on anything at the time. Didn’t ask for clarification if there was any doubt what their less than plain talk was inferring. Of course they didn’t. And why would they? And what does it matter now anyway? It doesn’t.

For cryin’ out loud we’re talking about Nancy “impeachment is off the table” Pelosi here!!!!! Even IF she KNEW, regardless of when or how she knew, she would have done nothing. I mean what could she or would she have done? It was all “perfectly LEGAL” at the time after all. So what.

If you all don’t see ALL of this as Dick Cheney crawling out from under the bus and trying to grab ahold of the steering wheel, then I think you might want to get a wide angle lens on this thing. Divide and conquer is what they’re up to here. Already the pubs, the old guard because the new ones are truely too stupid, have found a way to pit the dems against each other and against Obama. Way to go!! Gah.

Yes, I think there should be an investigation, and there probably IS one going on right now and all the hub bub is surely hampering that effort. I ALSO think the public should let that investigation go on and stop being driven by Dick Cheney!! We elected a man who KNOWS what he is doing and he is trying to DO HEALTH CARE right now and fix our economy as well. There is a time for this BUT this is not it. Dammit you all want Obama to act all kneejerky the way the pubs used to do. Why should he? There’s NO time limit on this.

Now, Pannetta came out to protect his people and they work they are doing TODAY. He could gave a hoot what Pelosi knew and when…… however, the republicans now have toe hold to climb back in this thing. Cheney is driving the news cycle. I don’t think this is PROGRESS at all.

Seems we asked for CHANGE and yet, we’re not willing to change our own ways to make sure we’re changing the things we CAN. We can’t CHANGE what bushco did, We CAN change how health care will go though. Focus.

Yes, I want some frog marching. You BET I do. BUT I don’t want to be so distracted by Cheney’s attempt to steer us off course at THIS moment that we miss what is going on NOW. I think the summer of 2012 might be a better time for hearings and indictments and such. But that’s just me.
