Neocons facing an "up or down" vote:

 

"Bush struck a defiant note in an interview to be televised Sunday by CBS on "60 Minutes." Asked if he believes he has the authority to send additional troops to Iraq no matter what Congress wants to do, Bush said: "I think I've got in this situation, I do, yeah. And I fully understand they will … they could try to stop me from doing it, but, uh, I've made my decision and we're going forward." -- GOP, Democrats Skirmish Over Iraq Plan

 

Meanwhile, about the unfolding war-crimes situation:

 

"WASHINGTON - The House of Representatives' top lawmaker in charge of defense spending said Friday that he intends to force the closure of the scandal-plagued Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay military prisons…and that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "absolutely" supports his efforts." -- Murtha will press for closure of Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib

 

And regarding the presidency, less conspicuous in the ms news but now in the daily vernacular of Congress, impeachment itself is considered a bygone conclusion should the executive defy an expected, upcoming order from Congress directing the presidency to not embark upon any new military campaigns without explicit, new, congressional authorization. The only question to remain in the minds of the majority, should the presidency defy that law, would be the matter of how quickly to actually remove both the president and vice-president from office.

 

Now, according to 75% of the American public today, a replacement of Bush and Cheney by legal means before 2008 could be good news. Let's see, that would make Pelosi president. But speaking of that is mere digression, and what is important is the flip side of the story, the bad news: Given it's steadfast determination to escalate the war without authorization from Congress, and given the disclosure of plans that Cheney recently endorsed for nuclear strikes against Iran, and given the peskly problems of war-crimes and exposure for treason nipping at their heals, the Neocons might reasonably be expected to take things to the next level while they are still in power.

 

Now, about LBJ cf GWB, still sad?

bush,cheney,rummy,condy,rovy,wolfy,libery and the pentagon are not incompetent!!! they are just not sharing what they are actually doing! we have to be lied to, otherwise we would never go along with this imperialist/zionist agenda.why should they back down? the axis of evil is the media that brought 'w' to power.its owners?

bush is the tip of the iceberg and he'll be a scapegoat, but change? a couple small plane crashes and aneurisms and you see who rules the house.
