    GW Bush - TWICE OVER!! (correction)

    The second paragraph in my letter just posted should actually read:

    AND - these very same US citizens have not yet impeached all those impeachable in the GW Bush Gang of War Criminals, have not thrown them all out of power and into jail...

    +++

    (Sorry about that bit of dumbness on my part...)
