Amen. It is long past time to acknowledge the lies and war crimes of G.W. Bush and his administration.
If I may add, to my knowledge, every president of my lifetime has lied to the American people, often as justification for wars or military attacks. Nixon & Johnson in Vietnam are only the most obvious and well known. Carter in East Timor, Reagan in Grenada, Bush Sr in Panama, Clinton in Bosnia, Obama in Libya, Trump in Syria, and yes, Joe Biden in Ukraine. Biden, who authorized the destruction of the NordStream 2 pipeline, is currently maintaining that lie (among many others) to justify prolonging a horrible war he hopes will weaken Russia. U.S. presidents and their lies are responsible for an unfathomable amount of death and destruction around the world. Congress props up those lies and gives them credence.
"Biden, who authorized the destruction of the NordStream 2 pipeline ... "
Er, innocent until proven guilty? No? There's absolutely no doubt in your mind about all this?
Serious claims require serious evidence: Sy Hersh, at present, is a lone voice calling from the wilderness. Where is his undeniable evidence? However, if Biden is guilty, hang him high: Impeach him immediately, because that's an act of war against a nuclear power, in fact, the nation having the most nuclear weapons on Earth.
Well, it seems to me that in a recent vote in the UN Sec Council, on calling for an independent investigation of what all recognize as sabotage - only 3 nations voted Yes - Russia, China and Brazil - the rest, including the US, all abstained - now why abstain from supporting an investigation into such an enormous act of sabotage, unless, of course, you know who did it ...
"undeniable evidence" - there will always be some denial of whatever evidence - there are still some flat earthers, but i don't think it was necessary for a court of law to establish that the earth is round ..
That is interesting; and it does raise some questions, so let's try to find answers. At present, we have none, only accusations and questionable behavior. Again, if Biden is guilty, let him answer for this atrocity.
It's difficult to keep a big secret: Somebody will make mistakes, somebody will sing for money, revenge, or fame, and the facts get out (cf. the false flag of the Tonkin Gulf Incident, Watergate, Iran-Contra shenanigans, White Water, Trump's many immoral, unethical, illegal acts).
Somebody already sang, to Hersh ... but you don't believe him?
As to the others, how long did it take - the only one who "paid" in any sense was Nixon - he resigned, but was never prosecuted for anything, was in fact "pardoned" by Ford - And Bush, for his trouble, got a Medal of Freedom bestowed on him by Obama ...
Bravo!! The hubris of this nation is appalling! Statistically coupled with the innocent lives lost, and Trillions waisted on rapacious pusillanimity, leaves me groping for le mot juste!
Perhaps it's a pipe dream but I would love it if Kucinich entered the Democratic Primary again. It would make the debates far more interesting, if there is to be one between Biden and Marianne.
I would not wish upon Dennis the agony of having to be involved with the Democratic Party ever again. However, I do think he would be an outstanding candidate for the Green Party nomination for president in 2024. The Green Party platform already includes provisions from Dennis's landmark proposed monetary reform legislation, the NEED Act of 2011.
LOL! And what makes you say that - oh, a Hillary fan? That lousy candidate who blamed everyone for her lost election, everyone except herself - Sorry, Stein was the best candidate on the ballot ...
Hillary fan, hah! The Clinton Mena Arkansas connection would be reason enough, for those in the know. Stein was backed by Putin $, hoping to draw voters from Hitlery. Video of them dining available on YT…
Seriously? Don't you remember what happened the last time he ran as a D - he got kicked out of subsequent debates after he obviously got a positive response from the first one. No matter how you feel about the General Election, it is pretty clear that the DP nominating process is rigged from start to finish - even moreso now that the DNC has moved the first primary to SC ...
I am surprised, though perhaps i shouldn't be, that he stayed with the DP for so long, a Party that has time and again proved inimical to all he says he stands for ...
Please, put something else in your pipe and encourage him to run as an independent (no, not a Sanders Independent, a real one)
Of course that would be better. And I suppose there's no need to encourage any more illusions about the democratic party. I was just searching for at least one anti-war democrat to enter the debates, if there are to be any debates. I have no illusions of them winning. It would just be nice for the public exposure, for someone to have an anti-war point of view in the debates ... seriously.
Oh, I agree, it would be nice to have such a viewpoint there - but would be even nicer if we got a chance to actually vote for someone who did more than debate on a stage ...
Absolutely. I consider Marianne Williamson the pied piper this time around and I would like to undermine her efforts with a true anti-war candidate. Like a sponge, she is soaking up the more cult-like Sander's supporters, keeping them all within the democratic fold. I'd like to see her challenged with an anti-war candidate. 14 books preaching the power of love and she wants to send more tanks to Ukraine. She needs to be exposed.
Yo! I wasn't aware that she was for prolonging the war -I liked her in the debates in the last primaries, but haven't really been following her ...
What is her rationale? "The brave Ukrainians against the evil empire"? ...
So she is running again, eh? If she doesn't get excluded early on, she will be "convinced" to drop out to pave the way for the Chosen One - Biden? I wonder whom those erstwhile Sanders supporters will support - the winner of the D primaries, as he did last time? What happens if his former supporters actually form a 3rd Party and run a candidate? Will he continue to sheep herd for the DP? I suspect so - he is much too comfortable there with the platform his committee assignments give him ....
Yes, see her in the Status Coup interview. Watch the entire interview. She is completely in lockstep with Biden on Ukraine. She says Putin is an evil madman. She also got very defensive in that interview when the interviewer said that Biden was helping to privatize medicare. She said there was absolutely no indication of that. You should see it. She's also clueless on what's going on with medicare. The articles about the privatization are a year old now ..... Yes, she announced her candidacy and the great majority of my fb friends (Bernie supporters) are gung ho on the idea, and upset with me for pointing out the flaws .... About Bernie: I try not to think it was intentional, but I feel so betrayed by Bern-man that I try not to talk about it ... I apologize to people now for being so resistant to the 3rd party effort. ..... I'm afraid the solutions might be outside the electoral system by now ...

Agree with concept that D/Rs are essentially working together, the "duopoly" as it is called, to keep "we the people" from getting what we want and need in so many areas - as long as too many of us are convinced that we need to vote LOTE, it is not simply that one of the 2 Parties will lose - we will ALL lose, as we have been doing for decades ..
As far as another Party is concerned, we have also had it on the ballot for decades, but very few vote for it - until enough of the folks who vote LOTE vote for a 3rd Party, "nothing", as Biden said, "will fundamentally change"

Well good luck getting "none of the above" on a ballot as a legitimate choice - whoever gets the most votes gets elected to office - how would "none of the above" function in office - unless of course, you believe in anarchy ...
Oh, I agree, the DP primaries were rigged in various ways in various places - no news there - sorry, man, I was born at night, but not last night.
As for Wellstone, could well be - you say he would have WON, but if the elections are rigged, why bother to knock him off?
Sends a pretty clear signal. Kill one SCARE 1,000. The term "Wellstoned" in DC became a verb. They also knew he couldn't be controlled / intimidated. The politicians & media all went with the false narrative that it was weather (easily disproven) - then 2 incompetent commercial pilots (wrong- no distress signal?). But they also said WMD's were in Iraq, Ukraine wasn't a PROXY WAR, COVID was from a bat and Oswald killed Kennedy. JFK said in a speech a week before he was assassinated "There's a plot in this country to enslave every man, woman, and child. Before I leave this office I intend to expose this plot." None of the above was a lesser of two evils is always gonna be evil argument. That a choice between Pancreatic Cancer or Brain Cancer isn't real choice.

As an ACTUAL NAT SEC Whistleblower...THEY Subvert the Constitution & Weaponize the government with impunity! Who are they? "It is inconceivable that a secret arm of the government has to comply with all the overt orders of the government." (CIA) James Jesus Angleton. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? - Socialists are the ones that the FASCISTS want you to be afraid of! And I am speaking of Republican Fascists and the Democrat Fascists is sheep's clothing. - Did you see Al Franken and Lindsay Graham all buddy-buddy besties when Franken hosted the Daily Show? In what world does that make sense? James Comey said on 60 Minutes that "you can't trust people in power." The only honest thing he has ever said. -- "They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesman for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection." - VP Henry Wallace, said that then FDR fired him for being too progressive and against US involvement in WW2! / I use history to establish legitimate fact-based precedent...unlike politicians & the media. - Graham advocates publicly assassinating government leaders we don't like that of course is a War Crime and puts our entire country at risk. If you are morally opposed to one party and advocate/support/endorse the other party doing the same things... you are part of the problem. Anybody remember when Chuck Schumer warned Trump on MSNBC not to take on the Intelligence Community because "They have six ways from Sunday to take you down." That was a confession that Chucky knows who the

Thank you for sharing this. With the 2001 AUMF left on the books and not included with the repeals, I’m afraid that it will be abused again. Future presidents can declare another war on any organization or country they deem to be “terrorists”. The celebrated repeal didn’t go far enough to ensure congressional oversight. All existing AUMFs should have been repealed. What we got is Pyrrhic victory.
I agree - there is nothing new here that we haven't heard before a number of times in a number of places. OK, so we say "We're sorry!" And then what, more thoughts and prayers? more memorials with annual ceremonies? We're pretty good at that, look at all the ones for crimes in this country
Of course there is an issue of "reparations" - but, even if we agreed, what would they look like?
As for prosecution for "war crimes" - not here, that's for guys like Putin, eh? Here Obama puts the Medal of Freedom(?) around Bush's neck ...
For me, although one is critiqued for arguing for "looking ahead" - that is what we must do, not in the name of putting the past behind us, but so this stuff never happens again ...
So while we mourn the death and destruction we "visited" on Iraq, or Viet Nam, we are in the process of visiting more of the same in Ukraine - and, brazenly, offering the same rationale - to "protect democracy from an evil dictator".
What is the matter with us - and by us I don't mean the politicians who foment this, we know what is the matter with them - bought and sold by a bunch of complexes, Mil/Ind, Phrma, etc. but what is the matter with "we the people" who keep putting these *&%$# in office?
How do I contact Dennis Kucinich? I worked for him on his Presidential campaign back in 03/4 We are hosting a peace conference regarding the rigged tragic theatre that is the war in Ukraine, here in Ireland. We would like to have Dennis on board. Let me know his best contact details. Thanks 🕊️❤️🙏☘️
Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-Kissinger should have been investigated and prosecuted for war crimes; Clinton "wagged the dog" when he needed a media distraction. The late, great Christopher Hitchens repeatedly cited Kissinger as a war criminal. It was an early warning sign that things might not be what some/many of us hoped for in the plans and policies under Obama when he said that there would be no investigation of Bush-Cheney, that he would be looking forward, not backward (note that ANY investigation of anything requires looking back!) and so another administration acts criminally with impunity, and the process of revising history begins... Gerald Ford becomes a "hero" - for letting Nixon go free! Nixon is portrayed as some kind of global politics wizard. Bush becomes a "painter" - and horrifically for a time was reportedly painting images of veterans! - later reportedly switched to animal paintings, and is portrayed as a kind of fuzzy grandpa. Cheney becomes the champion of his legitimately brave for a time daughter. Bush, the Obamas, the Clintons all appear in photos and at events, e.g. funerals, and are reported to all be warm, close friends! They must all have taken the "pinkie-swear" pact to never investigate, to always "look forward, not back" and blah-blah-blah. The only decent one among 'em is Jimmy Carter, and those pretenders never invited him to any of their club-house meetings or parties. He was too busy helping others anyway, even when there weren't cameras, microphones and bright lights showing him in a noblesse oblige pose. Nope, he was being a genuinely good and decent human being.
I would add to the numbers the approximate 3,000 people that died on the morning of 9/11 along with I don't know how many people that also died and/or their health was destroyed when Bush lied about the air quality for conducting a clean up. Responders were told the air was safe when the memo from the EPA clearly stated that it wasn't. As a result many did not wear masks. The air was not safe and it destroyed peoples health and many died.
Don't you wish we could enforce The Code of Hammurabi in the US today? We could lock up the entire Congress and every single living president for war crimes. It won't bring back the dead, but at least it would show their families that we are willing to atone for our sins.
Thanks, Dennis, for sharing your insights with us.
What is it in the collective American psyche that inhibits its capacity for becoming a mature adult? Central to which is consciously owning its sins and assuming responsibility for taking such an inventory? Is it the overweighted value of individualism in relation to an emaciated, starving value of relationship to the greater whole?
'If, thirty-seven centuries later, there remains the rule of law in the United States,.. if there is an scintilla of morality left.. the Justice Department must take up the matter of the lies which were constructed to legitimize the U.S.’ war in Iraq...' There is not, and there is no sense waiting for that to happen. In fact the Judge of the whole Earth has already passed judgment against the United States. He made that clear in 2017 when the skies darkened over this nation and 40 days later. ..the Biblical number of judgment.. was the Day of Atonement.. But no attornement was made. So, God's own justice is coming. It's written in detail in Jeremiah chapter 50 and 51. We do not appear in the days of the Apocalypse because the United States will no longer exist. What to do now? Make sure You are a saved Son of God..
Amen. It is long past time to acknowledge the lies and war crimes of G.W. Bush and his administration.

Opposed AFGHAN/IRAQ MENA WARS, S.3143, DIRECTLY WARNED by Cheney to stop snooping around regarding 9-11!) Watch Doc Film www.wellstonetheykilledhim.com Peace. MJN / Ephesians 6:12
Well good luck getting "none of the above" on a ballot as a legitimate choice - whoever gets the most votes gets elected to office - how would "none of the above" function in office - unless of course, you believe in anarchy ...
Oh, I agree, the DP primaries were rigged in various ways in various places - no news there - sorry, man, I was born at night, but not last night.
As for Wellstone, could well be - you say he would have WON, but if the elections are rigged, why bother to knock him off?
Sends a pretty clear signal. Kill one SCARE 1,000. The term "Wellstoned" in DC became a verb. They also knew he couldn't be controlled / intimidated. The politicians & media all went with the false narrative that it was weather (easily disproven) - then 2 incompetent commercial pilots (wrong- no distress signal?). But they also said WMD's were in Iraq, Ukraine wasn't a PROXY WAR, COVID was from a bat and Oswald killed Kennedy. JFK said in a speech a week before he was assassinated "There's a plot in this country to enslave every man, woman, and child. Before I leave this office I intend to expose this plot." None of the above was a lesser of two evils is always gonna be evil argument. That a choice between Pancreatic Cancer or Brain Cancer isn't real choice. Sometimes they just use blackmail (Al Franken), redistrict you or cut off economic resources Kucinich & Feingold. They don't have to kill you to kill you. But sometimes they just kill you. What else you got? Dennis... although it's obviously already too late promote S. 3143 2002 Wellstone Consumer & Shareholder Protection Association Act and that actual reformation of the Church Committee / US Senate Select Committee To Investigate US Intel Community Abuses. Sey Hersh said on the record that Cheney's JSOC KILL TEAM killed Wellstone - Watch the video Peace. Mark J. Novitsky Ephesians 6:12
As an ACTUAL NAT SEC Whistleblower...THEY Subvert the Constitution & Weaponize the government with impunity! Who are they? "It is inconceivable that a secret arm of the government has to comply with all the overt orders of the government." (CIA) James Jesus Angleton. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? - Socialists are the ones that the FASCISTS want you to be afraid of! And I am speaking of Republican Fascists and the Democrat Fascists is sheep's clothing. - Did you see Al Franken and Lindsay Graham all buddy-buddy besties when Franken hosted the Daily Show? In what world does that make sense? James Comey said on 60 Minutes that "you can't trust people in power." The only honest thing he has ever said. -- "They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesman for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection." - VP Henry Wallace, said that then FDR fired him for being too progressive and against US involvement in WW2! / I use history to establish legitimate fact-based precedent...unlike politicians & the media. - Graham advocates publicly assassinating government leaders we don't like that of course is a War Crime and puts our entire country at risk. If you are morally opposed to one party and advocate/support/endorse the other party doing the same things... you are part of the problem. Anybody remember when Chuck Schumer warned Trump on MSNBC not to take on the Intelligence Community because "They have six ways from Sunday to take you down." That was a confession that Chucky knows who the
real political puppet masters are! Maybe the DOJ/FBI should ask Chucky what he knows and explain in detail how the IC can take down a sitting / ex-(p)resident! - THEY still BURY the JFK REPORT! "Protect sources & methods" from 60+ YEARS AGO? - Thoughts anyone / Dennis? - "TRUTH CANNOT BE HARMED BY AN INVESTIGATION." Know Justice Know Peace! - Mark J. Novitsky (Twitter) Ephesians 6:12
Thank you for sharing this. With the 2001 AUMF left on the books and not included with the repeals, I’m afraid that it will be abused again. Future presidents can declare another war on any organization or country they deem to be “terrorists”. The celebrated repeal didn’t go far enough to ensure congressional oversight. All existing AUMFs should have been repealed. What we got is Pyrrhic victory.
Unlike Iraq, the US Arrogance war on Russia in nUkraine won't even get your fig leaf.
I am disappointed that you managed not to mention this in your piece.
Where ya been?
I agree - there is nothing new here that we haven't heard before a number of times in a number of places. OK, so we say "We're sorry!" And then what, more thoughts and prayers? more memorials with annual ceremonies? We're pretty good at that, look at all the ones for crimes in this country
Of course there is an issue of "reparations" - but, even if we agreed, what would they look like?
As for prosecution for "war crimes" - not here, that's for guys like Putin, eh? Here Obama puts the Medal of Freedom(?) around Bush's neck ...
For me, although one is critiqued for arguing for "looking ahead" - that is what we must do, not in the name of putting the past behind us, but so this stuff never happens again ...
So while we mourn the death and destruction we "visited" on Iraq, or Viet Nam, we are in the process of visiting more of the same in Ukraine - and, brazenly, offering the same rationale - to "protect democracy from an evil dictator".
What is the matter with us - and by us I don't mean the politicians who foment this, we know what is the matter with them - bought and sold by a bunch of complexes, Mil/Ind, Phrma, etc. but what is the matter with "we the people" who keep putting these *&%$# in office?
They put me in jail in 2007
When I ran against Gavin for Mayor of SF killafornia.
I have learned helplessness.
That is my problem now.
A couple of years ago there were small occasional protests against big Harma Harmacide scamdemic injextions hacksxxxine.
Now not a peep from little bo beep
How do I contact Dennis Kucinich? I worked for him on his Presidential campaign back in 03/4 We are hosting a peace conference regarding the rigged tragic theatre that is the war in Ukraine, here in Ireland. We would like to have Dennis on board. Let me know his best contact details. Thanks 🕊️❤️🙏☘️
Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-Kissinger should have been investigated and prosecuted for war crimes; Clinton "wagged the dog" when he needed a media distraction. The late, great Christopher Hitchens repeatedly cited Kissinger as a war criminal. It was an early warning sign that things might not be what some/many of us hoped for in the plans and policies under Obama when he said that there would be no investigation of Bush-Cheney, that he would be looking forward, not backward (note that ANY investigation of anything requires looking back!) and so another administration acts criminally with impunity, and the process of revising history begins... Gerald Ford becomes a "hero" - for letting Nixon go free! Nixon is portrayed as some kind of global politics wizard. Bush becomes a "painter" - and horrifically for a time was reportedly painting images of veterans! - later reportedly switched to animal paintings, and is portrayed as a kind of fuzzy grandpa. Cheney becomes the champion of his legitimately brave for a time daughter. Bush, the Obamas, the Clintons all appear in photos and at events, e.g. funerals, and are reported to all be warm, close friends! They must all have taken the "pinkie-swear" pact to never investigate, to always "look forward, not back" and blah-blah-blah. The only decent one among 'em is Jimmy Carter, and those pretenders never invited him to any of their club-house meetings or parties. He was too busy helping others anyway, even when there weren't cameras, microphones and bright lights showing him in a noblesse oblige pose. Nope, he was being a genuinely good and decent human being.
I would add to the numbers the approximate 3,000 people that died on the morning of 9/11 along with I don't know how many people that also died and/or their health was destroyed when Bush lied about the air quality for conducting a clean up. Responders were told the air was safe when the memo from the EPA clearly stated that it wasn't. As a result many did not wear masks. The air was not safe and it destroyed peoples health and many died.
Don't you wish we could enforce The Code of Hammurabi in the US today? We could lock up the entire Congress and every single living president for war crimes. It won't bring back the dead, but at least it would show their families that we are willing to atone for our sins.
Thanks, Dennis, for sharing your insights with us.
What is it in the collective American psyche that inhibits its capacity for becoming a mature adult? Central to which is consciously owning its sins and assuming responsibility for taking such an inventory? Is it the overweighted value of individualism in relation to an emaciated, starving value of relationship to the greater whole?
'If, thirty-seven centuries later, there remains the rule of law in the United States,.. if there is an scintilla of morality left.. the Justice Department must take up the matter of the lies which were constructed to legitimize the U.S.’ war in Iraq...' There is not, and there is no sense waiting for that to happen. In fact the Judge of the whole Earth has already passed judgment against the United States. He made that clear in 2017 when the skies darkened over this nation and 40 days later. ..the Biblical number of judgment.. was the Day of Atonement.. But no attornement was made. So, God's own justice is coming. It's written in detail in Jeremiah chapter 50 and 51. We do not appear in the days of the Apocalypse because the United States will no longer exist. What to do now? Make sure You are a saved Son of God..
