JERRY TENUTO
What happened to Cheney for those three or four days?

You sent the absolute top of the top U.S. Forces to catch Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan, blaming him as the person behind the four airliners that were hijacked. Somehow, he was not, and has yet to be, captured.

Our Nation was given a world-class black eye by invading Iraq with unsubstantiated proof of ?weapons of mass destruction.? Even if Saddam Hussein had been in possession of such armaments, it?s laughable to think he would have a missile system capable of reaching the U.S.

You knew that was a crock; so did most of the rest of the World, whose leaders censured the illegal invasion.

Then, you tried to back-end that garbage by concocting a tale of Saddam acting in cahoots with Osama.

When that didn?t sprout wings, George, you went for the humanitarian side issue of how horrible Saddam is ? he kills his own people and denies them their rights ? and it?s our place to bring proper democracy to the Middle East.

First, it is not the responsibility of the United States to change regimes, using bombs and bullets as incentives for people to vote. Second, you?ve murdered far more Iraqis than Saddam ever did, in a mere percentage of the time.

Third, you, yourself, have been responsible for the denial of rights of numerous Americans and people on our soil, as well as the callous disregard for the laws and Constitution of our Nation ? which are your sworn duty to uphold.

Need I mention the Geneva Convention; the Military Code of Conduct; and basic attendance toward humanity?

You?re perfectly okay with the torture of prisoners, held in captivity and incommunicado for incalculable amounts of time, as outlined by Alberto Gonzales, whom you?ve promoted to Attorney General, and Brett Kavanaugh, whom you wish to promote to a lifetime appointment on the D.C. Appellate Court.

I wonder, George, WWJD?

But, you?re the one who knows better in that regard, considering God told you to invade Iraq when He visited you in the White House Rose Garden. Yeah, I know, as King of Planet Earth, ?God talks through you.?

Lies, or delusion, George?

When you faced another decorated VietNam war veteran in the 2004 presidential election, Herr Karl dredged up the Swift Boat Prevaricators to cast doubt upon his service record. Rovian strategy made it seem like the guy who went to war was less capable of protecting us from your shadow enemy than you, who hid under the bed rather than face combat.

Most folks doubt the accuracy of the vote counting in that election, too.

As a leader, your sole accomplishment has been scuttling our great Nation into an abyss of wrack and ruin. There is not one single positive accomplishment I can think of to come out of your five wasted years in office.
