The buck stops where?

Our delusional president laments the "intelligence failure" that identified nonexistent WMD in Iraq and admits he was "unprepared" for war.

    no forgiveness this time

    "Time heals all wounds"

    "Don't dwell on the past"

    "I'm just a man, people make mistakes"

    We tend to be very forgiving people and in many cases I'm sure it is the best and right thing to do. But not here. The american public has been taken advantage of by its leaders since we boarded whatever boat got us here from wherever we came from. It's the case everywhere because its generally how the world works. Without going into a diatribe on how international banking has been robbing us blind since the 1820's and legally since 1913, I will focus on recent events. Not holding Bush and his administration accountable for their actions will set a precedent that we will forever regret. Although I don't see any of them really paying a sufficient price for their actions, at the very least WHAT they did and WHY needs to be brought out into the public forum as much as possible. Let the history books (and I mean objective history not a version sanitized to keep the masses in their current ignorant state)state some truths. Give all of the americans and Iraqis who sacrificed their blood, their lives or at least their family's well-being some answers. If we let this lie fester on into our country's future it will grow like a cancer and eventually kill us. Peace out!
