Bush must GO 4-8-2006

8, April 2006              Bush must GO

We now have conclusive evidence that President Bush and Vice-President Cheney committed high crimes by ordering Lewis Libby to feed bogus prewar intelligence to Judith Miller of the New York Times to shore up the administration’s weak case to launch a wholly unjustified war on Iraq. This latest revelation confirms earlier evidence outlined in the ‘Downing Street’ memo and the public statement of international law, Professor Philippe Sands, who provided documents that confirmed that British Prime Minister Blair and President Bush planned the attack on Iraq regardless of the presence of WMD’s. By doing so, President Bush sent thousands of U.S. soldiers and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis to a certain death.  This egregious behavior followed the deliberate revelation of the CIA operative, Valerie Plame’s identity to Judith Miller by Lewis Libby. According to Ms. Miller’s testimony to the grand jury, President Bush and Vice-President authorized Libby to reveal this sensitive information.

The New York Times must be held accountable for allowing its former reporter, Judith Miller, to serve as an instrument of propaganda for the White House. This latest scandal makes a complete mockery of President Bush’s earlier statement that “he would fire anyone who was found guilty of leaking classified information.” It is high time Congress stops pussyfooting around the criminal behavior of George Bush and initiate impeachment proceedings. This man has disgraced his high office and brought great shame and dishonor to our great country.
