Just amazing:
MONTPELIER, Vermont (AP) — President Bush may soon have a new reason to avoid left-leaning Vermont: In one town, activists want him subject to arrest for war crimes.
A group in Brattleboro is petitioning to put an item on a town meeting agenda in March that would make Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney subject to arrest and indictment if they visit the southeastern Vermont community.
“This petition is as radical as the Declaration of Independence, and it draws on that tradition in claiming a universal jurisdiction when governments fail to do what they’re supposed to do,” said Kurt Daims, 54, a retired machinist leading the drive.
As president, Bush has visited every state except Vermont.
The town meeting, an annual exercise in which residents gather to vote on everything from fire department budgets to municipal policy, requires about 1,000 signatures to place a binding item on the agenda.
The measure asks: “Shall the Selectboard instruct the Town Attorney to draft indictments against President Bush and Vice President Cheney for crimes against our Constitution, and publish said indictment for consideration by other municipalities?”
You know what I would do, if I were President Bush? On January 21st, 2009, I’d head up there to answer the charges. He can’t do it while he’s in office for a variety of reasons, but once he’s out of office, it would be a great opportunity to show what a bunch of world-class fruitcakes his critics are. President Bush couldn’t get a fair trial in Vermont, so he’d have to argue for a change of venue – to a State which voted more closely to 50/50 in either 2000 or 2004. Ohio would seem the most likely place to get an impartial jury, though if the lefties insist on a place Bush lost narrowly, we can go with Wisconsin. Once a venue and date are set, then the real fun would begin.
There is nothing of any substance to any of the criticisms levelled against President Bush – but the leftwing loons who are pushing this measure believe the whole kit and kaboodle. I’m sure they are a grab-bag collection of “truthers” who think that President Bush had a hand in 9/11, lied to get us into Iraq and has worked diliegently to suppress freedom in the United States. Can you imagine what sort of kooks would be brought forward to testify against President Bush? Heck, we might even get Joe Wilson on the stand – and wouldn’t we all love to have him cross-examined? It’d be a great media circus, and it would expose the left for what they are – screwball, blame-America-first losers.

In the hours and days following the attack on NYC and Washington, the world watched in disbelief the feeble and confused response from the leaders of the greatest military power the world has ever known.
No matter how you try to rewrite history; the events are on record and have been well documented. Your leadership failed you and continues to fail you, debacle after debacle.
In this age of instant communication, it is impossible to hide the facts. You may try to spin and distort them and no doubt there will always be those who will blindly accept the deceptions, but in the end, truth will triumph.
CO,
Please elaborate. What specific failures were there in the hours and days (not weeks) that followed 9/11?
I grow tired of your vague empty headed rhetoric. This time I want specifics.
Or are you being detrimental to the downfall of liberal talking points?
Diana,
Nice try – but if the terrorists had enough advance knowledge of President Bush’s movements to have targeted that school, then they would have targeted it even if Bush had left minutes before. Those kids, if they were unders threat at all, were under threat no matter what President Bush did.
You’re just trying to rationalise your grossly unfair criticism.
LiberalT,
As far as you are concerned, the answer is “yes”. I’m willing to take the heavy burden of instructing you.
I will never own a pet goat. Pet goats are more trouble than they’re worth. Obviously.
Mark – pathetic just pathetic.

To refresh your memory, neocon, I refer to the fact that on September 11, 2001 the United States of America was attacked in NYC and Washington by a small group of terrorists while the greatest military in the history of the world left their country unprotected.
Following that, the government, instead of going after those responsible and bringing them to justice, abandoned the effort and instead, ridiculously, declared war on Iraq.
It is inconceivable, why, after such a terrible blow to his country, a President would give up on the pursuit of the instigator of the murder of thousands of its citizens and declare that the murderer, Bin Laden, is no longer of interest.
Why, neocon, would someone who holds the office of President in the number one democracy in the world do something so outrageous at that?
CO,
First of all your criticism lies mostly in the MONTHS that followed, not hours or days as you previously asserted. And these are the same criticisms that I have read from you for more than two years. Tedious. You need a new schtick.
Secondly, AQ had been noted to be a rather large extensive network, not the “small” group of terrorists you dishonestly refer to.
Finally, is the Taliban still governing Afghanistan? I think not. Are we still in pursuit of UBL? Yes.
Your assertions are so easy to refute because they are not reality based and are merely agenda driven drivel.
Nice back peddle Diana.
Canadian Observer: The Bush’s and the BinLadens have a business and social relationship that goes back three generations.
Osama waited for Bush to get into office before his second attack on the WTC because he knew Bush would give him a pass. Bush even let every member of the BinLaden famility leave the country during the no-flight period to protect them as well.

Well, neocon, in the hours following the attack there seemed to be total confusion. The whereabouts of the leaders were unknown and the citizens were left in the dark. Did anyone have any idea of what was happening or who was in charge?
How long did it take the President to reassure the people that he was indeed at the helm and ready to lead?
i particularly like Mark’s assertion that it is “unfair” to criticize Bush for his handling of 9/11. Yes he is human and made mistakes. That doesn’t mean it is unfair to criticize him. That is just ridiculous drivel from his little cs cheerleader of a friend Mark Noonan. Don’t criticize him. boo- hoo Mark
neocon,
I didn’t backpedal. You just didn’t read my original comment carefully. That’s why I had to restate and elaborate it.
Mark,
Okay, let’s take what you actually just wrote here and set it in the actual context and see how it looks:
Check. Got that. I’m sure that no one working for the Secret Service would have ANY problem with that thought process.
For that matter, let’s imagine something more cerebral…
Please.
CO,
Did you forget who was in charge? Bush was on AF1 within the hour and was in full communique with the appropriate powers to be. 10 hours later he held a National press conference.
What timeline did you have in mind? And don’t you live in Canada?
I just want to say this to our resident lefties. We may disagree on nearly everything but I admire all of you for the consistent debate. It needlessly gets ugly sometimes but it demonstrates your passion for the cause and that’s admirable. Like conservatives, I have no doubt that you all want a better future, but I can’t disagree with you more on how we get there.
God Bless and have a safe and happy New Year.
neocon,
Your words are very gracious and I second them. May God bless you and yours and I hope you have a safe, happy and prosperous New Year.

Yes, to each and everyone, a healthy and happy 2008.
Let’s hope in the coming year we can improve our understanding of those who hold different views from our own.
We already understand you, CO; you’ve been coming to this blog for years with your anti-Bush rhetoric. But truthfully, what you mean by “understanding” is agreeing with your point of view, just as when Reidtard and Piglosi refer to bipartisanship, they mean “do it our way, and we’ll call it compromise.”
You’re an idiot, CO. You live in one of the most, if not the most, pussified nations in the Western Hemisphere, and it irks you that you have to rely on the greatest superpower ever to keep you safe.
So, to everyone except CO and his Kanadian Kommie friends, Happy New Year!!!
CO, you hoser, you——you seem to have a very bizarre and twised concept of the responsiblity of the president of the United States.
It is NOT to try to manage a national crisis in such a way as to generate some sound bites and some PR.
It is NOT to strut and posture to impress people with his courage.
It is to do whatever possible to ensure the continuity of government.
I didn’t know where Bush and Cheney were—and I was GLAD I didn’t know. It was none of my business where they were, and I was relieved that they were responsible enough to take the necessary measures to ensure the most likely path to maintaining continuity in our leadership.
Why don’t you radicals stick to current politics? I notice that on some other thread you are dragging out the old whine about Bush not serving in Viet Nam.
Get a grip………
