Senate report shows Bush guilty of giving 'aid and comfort' to the enemy. But impeachment not likely.

RULE: If the Republicans claim something is wrong, you can bet they're doing it themselves. From illicit sex to being on the take, they do it all behind closed doors. (The Dems do it too, but they seldom pose as champions of virtue.)

That said, the Bush family tradition continues...

We now know why the Bush administration became silent on its harsh criticisms of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan being implicated in the Iraqi oil-for-food scandal. The reasons? One, Dem senators have discovered that Bush KNEW about it long ago and turned a blind eye to it. (If it was so evil, doesn't that make Bush evil too for letting it continue?)

But second, over HALF of the kickbacks paid to Saddam were by US--that's right, US--corporations! That's more than the rest of the world combined.

From the Senate report: "The United States was not only aware of Iraqi oil sales which violated UN sanctions and provided the bulk of the illicit money Saddam Hussein obtained from circumventing UN sanctions," the report said. "On occasion, the United States actually facilitated the illicit oil sales."

Now, doesn't that make these corporations and the Bush administration TRAITORS to America--since the war was justified because Saddam was an enemy and threat to the U.S.???

It wouldn't be new ground for the Bush family, considering Bush's grandfather Prescott Bush happily profited from illegal trading with Nazi Germany DURING the second World War. (This was ended by FDR in 1942 because it, obviously, violated the Trading With The Enemy Act. Grandson, just like grandpa, will likely never be jailed for this treason.)

At the very least, this scandal makes Bush a money-grubbing hypocrite. But we already knew that. Still, how could this NOT be treason since it is CLEARLY giving aid and comfort to an enemy, an enemy that posed such an imminent threat to America that we had to invade them and replace their government.

Has there EVER been a president more deserving of impeachment and removal?

(Now let's see if this even gets the same TV news coverage as when Kofi Annan, a foreigner, was implicated. You'd think it would merit more. But I doubt it. The media's just too liberal to say bad things about Republicans...)
