Why Bush Should be Punished for His Acts in Office

Bush didn't lie about weapons of mass destruction. Saddam had them at one time or another; even used them on his own people and Iran. Saddam invaded both Iran and Kuwait and was an incredibly destabilizing force in the region. Deny as you will but that is a simple fact.
Bush did not lie. He went on the best intelligence available. Had Saddam upheld his end of the agreement and allowed the weapons inspectors in the story would have played out differently but then again, I understand that the term "personal responsibility" is a foreign concept to most liberals. Also, keep in mind that Bush only chose to act ofter the UN utterly failed too.
Now, as for Clinton. The man was an utter and complete joke. From using the Oval Office as his personal sexual romper room to obstruction of justice to not protecting US interests world wide to treating the first WTC bombing as an internal criminal act and not an attack from a foreign power the man was as far removed from being a good President as one could possibly imagine.
As for you Bonnie, you utter and complete lies and distortion of truth make a final mockery of the title journalist. You are no more a journalist than I am a brain surgeon.

"Then Go After Clinton Too"
Riiight.
Because Clinton was responsible for INVADING A WRONG COUNTRY needlessly?
Because Clinton was responsible for THOUSANDS of American deaths, and God knows how many Iraq fatalities?
HARDLY a comparison, now, is it?
Pathetic.

"Clinton allowed water boarding and other torture techniques."
Uh huh.
Again...easy to claim...giver me some proof, or keep your whiny 'well, HE DID IT TOO!' 'justifications' to yourself.
"Clinton believe Iraq had WMDs (as did every intelligence agency in the world)"
Uh huh.
AGAIN...SO WHAT???
Iraq HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 9-11.
Why must you GOP idiots keep trying to legitamize this incredible LIE of an invasion??
"Clinton fired many more federal prosecutors (who serve at the pleasure of the President) than did Bush."
Doncha just LOVE these idiots that always throw Clinton into the mix whenever BUSH is being pummeled?
They just can't address the topic at hand, being that Bush is the poorest excuse for a president and a MAN we have ever had in the White House...to 'rectify' the arguement, they immediately bring up Clinton, as if this somehow 'equates' the situation.
How pathetic.
The discussion is about how crappy BUSH WAS...can't you whiners address it without trying to make some idiotic 'balance'?
I didn't think so.

I've lived through quite a few of them and, it just seems to me, that it is better to have one (or two) that do what they say than the rest of the multitude that spew dreams and promises, and do absolutely nothing.

Clinton allowed water boarding and other torture techniques. Clinton believe Iraq had WMDs (as did every intelligence agency in the world); Clinton fired many more federal prosecutors (who serve at the pleasure of the President) than did Bush. Clinton did more "Pay For Play" than likely any president in history. Clinton abused his supervisory position over a subordinate (Monica) - Bush never did. Iraq not only supported terrorists (paying $25K bonuses for human bombing), but repeatedly shot at US aircraft defending teh UN no-fly zone.
Go after Bush, and open up the investigation and prosecuation of Clinton.

...how 90% of the 'responses' here are against Bonnie, stating how 'stupid, uninformed and ANNOYING' her opinions are...and yet, you idiots are HERE, reading them and making immature, loud comments about them...'Bonnie, you suck! Bonnie, you are an embarassment! Bonnie, you know NOTHING and NPR SUCKS!'...Uh huh.
Why do you morons keep RETURNING to read her writing if you loathe her so much?
Oh, thats right...you are ATTENTION STARVED IDIOTS.
Seriously...consider getting a LIFE.

"Bonnie, name one way in which he destroyed the country."
Why stop at just ONE?
-Raped our Constitution, REPEATEDLY.
-Lied about WMDs and reasons to invade a country that HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 9-11.
-Has RUINED our worldwide rep, via thust thumping, gung-ho 'cowboy' politics, behaving in a stubborn, ignorant fashion that has branded us all as arrogant, loud mouthed BULLIES.
-IGNORED anything to do with Katrina.
-IGNORED reports that 'Bin Laden Determined to Strike' pre 9-11.
-...Seriously? You NEED MORE?
Wake up, ignorant, blind 'Bushies'...this guy was an F-ING JOKE, and you seriously need to stop attempting to make anyone see DIFFERENTLY. WE can see just fine...YOU might wanna remove those GOP blinders and take a look around you.

Bush and his evil f-in' cronies should all be prosecuted and thrown in prison for the lies and damages...not to mention, needless DEATHS they have caused...but dont hold your breath for that to happen anytime soon.
I suppose just getting rid of the a-holes will have to suffice, yes?...;)
