We get one shot at this, it must be done right. I am painfully aware of the particulars, but this Congress will not hold hearings, and testimony must be brought before Congress to get into the record. <br><br>Nothing short of a full overturn of the House, Congress, and the Executive will get this thing done.<br><br>We cannot even bring people in from the agencies or military to testify, they are fully controlled by the administration. So anyone who might testify has no guarantee their lives or their jobs are protected. We have no access to documents, (only those that are available through FOIA), and we have no access to communications between various people who may be involved. And no cooperation.<br><br> We need the full support and cooperation of the machinery, especially as sitting Senators, DOJ, FBI, State Dept, who knows who else is involved, so going too fast will result in many people getting off the hook. No, I want them all, every rotten one, but there needs to be a reckoning, and it's not coming today. <br><br>As to the election, my thoughts are this: The election was a scam. I do not think that Kerry was prepared for such ugliness that transpired, as I am sure many Americans were not. The entire campaign was a despicable below-the-belt affair. And I would not be surprised if at some point, Kerry realized, or was made to realize, that his life, or the the life of a loved one could be in jeopardy if he fought the election results. <br><br>People think this is about politics, it's not, the people who allowed three thousand people to die a horrible death and dragged us into the nightmare that is Iraq will easily do away with anyone who gets in their way.<br><br>Why are media sources shutting down their voice? Why are people hitting the high road? Why are people so reluctant to speak against this regime? FEAR. <br><br>Fear of being locked up, fear of losing jobs, fear of losing their reputation, fear of the horror that this administrations power will consume them. <br><br>But it's not just the administration, they easily shift between private sector, and the public sector, so perhaps oil industry executives were involved. <br><br> In any case, they see Democrats no longer as a political party, but as communists. (irregardless of the diversity of opinion that marks the Democratic Party.) That means if you are a registered Dem, you are an enemy of the State. They will kill people they deem Communist with ease.<br><br>So this forces us into the position to overturn, through election the current regime, then and only then will we be in a position to investigate fully and prosecute.<br><br><br>The curious thing is that even Milton Friedman has recently spoke against the Republican President, citing the Iraqi war and the ideology of "spreading Democracy" to be counter-productive. (My thought is that this is a cue for the people in real power)<br> <br><br><br><br><br> <br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
