Illegal NSA spying, lies to justify war, and now Bush is implicated
in the Libby case of disclosure of classified intelligence
information. And why is there no move in Congress to impeach?
Libby’s testimony yesterday that Bush authorized the use of
classified intelligence to justify the war on Iraq (with the
possibility that he was behind the leak of CIA operative Valerie
Plame’s name to the media) is only adds to the long list of illegal
acts committed by this regime. And besides the illegality of its
actions, anyone with any sense of morality (no, not the hateful
fundamentalist kind of Bush and his theocratic supporters) would look
at the torture, the thousands left to die in New Orleans, its moves
towards a theocracy, and more, and say enough already.
Yet no one in government has the ability and/or desire to oust this
criminal regime. Feingold’s resolution didn’t get support in his
own party. And impeachment has been deemed beyond the pale of
reasonable political discourse in the halls of power, while millions of
people clamor for it. So how’s this regime gonna go? As the
Call to drive out the Bush regime puts it:
There is not going to be some savior from the
Democratic Party. This whole idea of putting our hopes and energies
into “leaders” who tell us to seek common ground with fascists and
religious fanatics is proving every day to be a disaster, and actually
serves to demobilize people.
But silence and paralysis are NOT acceptable.
That which you will not resist and mobilize to stop, you will learn (
or be forced ( to accept. There is no escaping it: the whole disastrous
course of this Bush regime must be STOPPED. And we must take the
responsibility to do it.
