Incompetence and arrogance; the Bush/Cheney legacy.

You've heard this slogan probably 100 times over the past few years. "We'll stand down when the Iraqis stand up!" Sound familiar? Well here's the latest information on that front and I quote, "Last week, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Peter Pace, said the number of combat-ready Iraqi battalions able to fight independently has dropped from 10 to six in recent months despite an increase in U.S. training efforts."

Now can you see there was never any intention of us leaving Iraq. I like what I heard from Senator Biden which I will paraphrase here. He said if the Administration is so bent on staying in Iraq, have them pack up their sons and daughters and join their parents and fight the war themselves.

Is your frustration with this President and Vice President and their minions as exasperating to you as it is for me? In all my years on this planet having remembered Presidents from Eisenhower to this President, I could never have imagined the level of stubbornness and arrogance and disregard for the rule of law, not only internationally but also the Constitution and the laws to protect us. We must act as a nation and impeach both of them so that no president in the future will ever get us into a war with lies again.

We still have a year and a half to prove we deserve our freedoms. These 2 so called leaders deserve to be impeached. Aren't there any courageous members of Congress willing to advance Articles of Impeachment?!

Oh, and while I'm at it, why does the President pass an Executive order 5 years after the war in Iraq to order not to use cruel and unusual treatment of prisoners? Isn't that like closing the barn door after the horses have left? To me, this is confirmation that they encouraged and condoned torture all these years in violation of our laws and also the Geneva Convention. Anyone have the courage to turn these 2 over to the World Court for prosecution on War Crimes?

So let it be written, so let it be done!
