Bush's Supreme (Court) Hypocrisy

Bush's Supreme (Court) Hypocrisy: "Slander[ing] America"

Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, Rendition? "Of course if you want to slander America, you can look at it one way." Abu Ghraib? "This is [just] the action of some soldiers."

From Crooks and Liars:
During an interview with Sky News, Bush accused British journalist Adam Boulton of "slander[ing] America."

Boulton: "And yet there are those who would say, look, let's take Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib and rendition and all those things, and to them that is the, you know, the complete opposite of freedom."

Bush: "Of course if you want to slander America, you can look at it one way. But you go down — what you need to do — I think I suggested you do this at a press conference — if you go down to Guantanamo and take a look at how these prisoners are treated — and they're working it through our court systems. We are a land of law."

The Supreme Court Overruled Bush (a 3rd Time), Saving Habeas Corpus: "The justices, voting 5-4, said a 2006 law unconstitutionally stripped Guantanamo prisoners of the right to file so-called Habeas Corpus petitions. The majority rejected arguments that a system of limited judicial review...was adequate to protect inmate rights."

Bush's Response: Threatened (more) possible legislation (forgetting that their Majority was lost in Nov. 2006). The Military Commissions Act was an override of the Supreme Court, and a retroactive cover for War Crimes. Who has slandered America, and everything it once stood for?

Bush: "Bypassing the Constitution means that we did something outside the bounds of the Constitution." Yes, that's exactly what it means.

Supreme Hypocrisy.
Supreme "Tortured" Logic.
A Different Supreme Court Awaits.

Torture By Music: "According to US military authorities, it was God himself who first wrote the strategy of "Torture By Music" into the field manual.... Joshua's army used horns to strike fear into the hearts of the people of Jericho."

Truth and Dissent: Voices of Conscience
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VaYMld1f80

On Bush War Crimes:
(1) If widespread acts of Torture are found to have been Institutionalized (by your direction), the sickening violations at Abu Ghraib (etc.) were not, as you claim, "just the action of some soldiers." They would also be considered torturous culminations which originated from a "Call To Action" - a War Crime since the Nuremberg Trials.

(2) Assembling a team of sycophantic (neocon) lunatics to purposely redefine the term/word Torture so that you could claim all the following torturous actions were "Legal" (according to secret opinions) did not (actually) make the crimes "Legal." Certainly, this was an intended cover - for the public, as well as the Supreme Court (if necessary). Yet, as some court will eventually say: "The Truth is clearly proclaimed (though some tried in vein to rewrite it)."

It was interesting to see in this election the behavior of the wives. Why is Laura Bush present at all in this interview? But there she is, sitting silently.

Cindy McCain was a similar presence in the McCain campaign.

[WindHarps]

No amount of marketing attempts were able to change the Truth. While certain pages revealed willing characters, the world witnessed one of the darkest chapters.

[yourrainebow]

After Mrs. Bush flashes that big smile, it looks as if her soul has left her body. She has a certain sad, far away look in her eyes. As if to say, How the hell did I end up sitting next to this Sh*tHead?

WindHarps your vids are the Best! Keep up the good work!! 5 stars n' fav'ed!!

PS. Please pass me a barf-bag, Mr.Prez makes me sick!

Peace n'Rainebows  : )

Raine~

[WindHarps]

Thanks ~ But, sorry on the barf bags; Walmart has run out of them due to increased demand over the last 7.7 years.

[augreich]

Amazingly some people still don't see "this" for what it is. Every time I watch and/or listen to GW I'm left speechless, wondering why "they" let him talk. Thoughts of puppets and strings race through my mind. SAD.

[WindHarps]

And another puppeted buffoon looms on the horizon, if the neocons, corporatized media, and Diebold have their way: McCain (with Palin at his side - assigned by God).

[stephen2152002]

ohh so the soldiers can take the fall? The people that ordered the soldiers should be to blame! And no America should not be held responsible as a whole...but the people that are in charge should be held accountable? How can you hold someone responsible, when they are the law? How can you LAW THE LAW? LOL Its simple...we're f'ed. Corruption is a BITCHALA

[yourrainebow]

ROTFL :D Good one WindHarps!!!!

Peace~

[WindHarps]

Certain revelations are on the horizon. The Truth always prevails (eventually).

[louisalit]

Sazzylil and Windharp, God bless you good people! I hope the whole world will give you their support when these criminals are put to justice in their own country, to which they have done tremendous harm. But worst of all, all the innocent people killed and tortured!
