Don't forget that the alleged perp of 9-11, Bin Laden, was an old family friend of the Bush family, who's other family members got a quick private flight out of the country at taxpayers expense, and at the order of the Bush administration, before the dust even settled in NYNY.
OK BigRob, let's look at your angle. In time of war, the President may act as legislator...you may even argue to the extreme of turning the very foundation of our country, the US Constitution on its head.
But...if the President's inner circle and he LIED about circumstances leading to our establishing said war, to coerce Congress into approving that war, then a very good argument could be made that any subsequent "laws" enacted, or even the very status of "war" itself could be nullified and the President et al can in fact be tried as not just lying to Congress, but also of High Treason, having illegally rewritten the Constitution for nefarious and selfish agendas.
I sincerely hope your buddies have their tracks covered with respect to that because if they don't, we CAN try them criminally. All it will take is testimony to convince Congress that the reasons supplied by Bushco, being the deciding factors compelling them to approve war were false, Bushco is going to have to invest in some more antiperspirant in the months to come.
The US owes the world at the very least an exhaustive investigation into the matter of lying to Congress to justify war. If lying is known to have happened, Congress is compelled by the description of their duties to try the case. And they are compelled for the matter of protecting US citizens from angry retaliation, to cooperate with the World Court in investigating whether or not Bushco lied to justify war in the first place. If this one fact can be proven, Bushco's other crimes will mandate proceedings for High Treason.
Their actions were treasonous because they lied in order to forward a political agenda of an elite group of wealthy oil barons, one of which is the Bush family friends, the Bin Laden family, Haliburton etc. And these agendas via an expensive and illegal war did cripple our economy so badly as to render it vunerable to our enemies. That is treason. And we have more than two witnesses to that I'll wager..
I've read US history books and I cannot help but wonder...what with Bush Sr. working the CIA back in the Kennedy days..Johnson...W.Bush and all that if Texas really didn't mean what it intended when it said it was going to get even with being forced to comply with statehood instead of succession. "The Lone Star State" has really put some dark characters very near our governing hub. All that oil and whatnot...I sometimes get the feeling like the Lone Star State might be making good on its promise?
