Dead For Lies
By Cindy Sheehan
27/01/08 "ICH"
-- -- Once, before I camped out in Crawford, Tx,
I was speaking at a venue in DC and I called George Bush a
"lying bastard." This was in May 2005; right after we discovered
the revelations of the Downing Street Minutes which we believed
was the smoking gun that would bring down BushCo in short order.
We held hearings in June of 2005 that Congressman John Conyers
convened (in a crowded basement room in the Capitol) that
exposed the deceit of the "yellow cake uranium from Niger" lie
and the fact that Dick Cheney and Scooter Libby made many trips
to the CIA offices to "cherry-pick" intelligence. Along with
myself, Ambassador Joe Wilson, and ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern:
Constitutional Attorney John Bonifaz wrapped up the panel to
explain how and why the criminal Bush regime should be impeached
and imprisoned.
Since then, I have been hailed or condemned for my strong
language and told that if I "framed" my language better, I could
be more effective. On the other hand, some people have told me
to not dare temper my language because what our government is
doing to people is so heinous that someone needs to strongly
speak out against it. Now something has again surfaced that
alternately angers and sorrows me.
A recent report found that BushCo told 935 lies in the two-year
run-up to the war! We all know they lied, and frankly, I am
surprised that the number is only 935, but it was an apparently
exhaustive study by two media analysis groups.
Calling the President of the USA a "lying bastard" may, on the
face of things, seem disrespectful, but there are two
definitions of the word that seem appropriate to BushCo: 1)
something of illegitimate or dubious origin (stolen elections)
or 2) someone mean or nasty.
After nearly four years of living with the horrible knowledge
that my son was killed in Iraq for the lies of the lying
bastards of the Bush regime, I still mourn him and miss him with
all my heart and soul and I don't know if I will ever be able to
go through a day without being reminded that he should be alive
and well and home with his family. Presidential daughter Jenna
Bush will be getting married soon and I can't help but feel that
Casey should have been able to have the same opportunity to get
married and have his own children and future.
We cannot place the blame solely at the foot of BushCo, though.
We have two Senators vying for their party's presidential
nomination who are nothing but spoiled Demo-Brats who snipe and
bicker at each other instead of calling for the immediate
removal of our troops from Iraq and the ouster of the liars who
are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of
people and the tragic creation of millions of broken hearts
(when we buried Casey, I discovered that the term is not just a
figure of speech).
We have a Speaker of the House who has taken impeachment "off
the table" and refuses to even consider doing her job because
impeachment would be too "divisive" when so many families have
been physically, emotionally, and politically divided by
Republican and Democratic war crimes and support of war crimes.
It is imperative that BushCo be impeached for past, present and
future high crimes and misdemeanors. They have not only lied
about the reasons for invading and occupying Iraq, but they have
used their war of terror to redefine and lie about torture and
commit unspeakable crimes against humanity.
Accountability should not be a politically partisan issue. No
one should be above the law in a democracy and this is not a
game of power plays or revenge for a past impeachment for lying
about oral sex in the oval office.
We know they lied and now we must demand hearings from our
dysfunctional employees in DC to find out why they lied so we
can prevent it from ever happening again.
What's more obscene? The word "bastard" or the travesty and
tragedy of wars based on so many lies told by so many liars?
