What is the point?

What is the point of repeating over and over again things that are perfectly obvious but no one apparently wants to deal with? The "war" against Iraq was/is manifestly illegal (as well as immoral, unconstitional, and unconscionable). Preemptively attacking a country that is/was not a threat to you is the classic war crime. Torture is a war crime. Hiding prisoners from the Red Cross is a war crime. War profiteering is a war crime. Killing innocent civilians is a war crime. Using banned weapons such as cluster bombs and phosphorous against civilians is a war crime. Can anyone possibly doubt by now that this is precisely what we have done in Iraq? Even though this is perfectly obvious no one seems willing to do anything about it. The war crime of the century and the only objection on the part of both Democrats and Republicans is that we are failing to succeed at it.

Lying to Congress and the American people to start an illegal war is an impeachable offense. Spying on people without a court order is an impeachable offense. Outing a CIA operative is an impeachable offense. Organizing "renditions" is an impeachable offense. Doing away with Habeas Corpus is an impeachable offense. "Cooking" intelligence to say what you want it to is an impeachable offense. Claiming Presidential powers that you do not have is probably also an impeachable offense. Is it not perfectly obvious by now that these things have been done by the current Bush/Cheney administration? Nothing is being done about it as near as I can tell. Indeed, impeachment is apparently "off the table."

So what is the point of even bringing these obvious violations of law and constitution up? If you are married to a spouse that is so obtuse, stubborn, and difficult you believe your only recourse is to strangle him/her or get a divorce, what do you do? You get a divorce. But what if he/she doesn't agree to a divorce? Then what do you do? The American public is trying to divorce the Bush/Cheney administration but they will not agree to it? So now what do you do? The answer, according to the House and Senate, seems to be nothing. Just do nothing. There are far more important things to discuss, like the size of Pelosi's plane, the father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter, and the latest LA car chase.

I'm sick of non-binding resolutions (that can't even be passed). I want a binding resolution: no more nutrisystem ads for at least six months! Have to go. Have to catch the midnight train from Sandpoint to Seattle. Cheers.
