Will it matter?

Will it matter that McClelland has now admitted he lied about the Plame affair and that Libby, Rove, Cheney, and even Bush himself knew about it and were thus involved? Why should it matter? Nothing else up until now has mattered, the lies that led us into an unnecessary war, the torturing, the utter incompetence, the scandals upon scandals upon scandals of this administration, none of this seems to have made any difference. Bush/Cheney are still in charge, still lying every day, still making big bucks for their cronies. Besides, can anyone say they are surprised to hear that Bush/Cheney, Rove and Libby, and especially McClellan were lying? I don't know about you but I knew McClelland was lying. Indeed, that's exactly what he was being paid to do, lie for the White House. He must have known that when he agreed to the job, so why should he be so upset about it now? Does anyone believe that Ari was telling the truth, Snow, now Perino? It's true they don't always just flat out lie, but when they don't they obfuscate and confuse and do everything they can to hide the truth. If what McClellan reports in his book is true it means that Bush?Cheney and the others are guilty of felonies. But so what, they're already known to be guilty of felonies and no one has done anything about it so far. Some today were saying something to the effect that the Democrats ought to do so something about this. Are they kidding? These guys are guilty of felonies and there is some doubt that anyone should do anything about it? I believe this is indicative of just how hopeless our political system has become. I sincerely hope that this time someone will do something about it and these criminals will be held accountable.

This question of accountability, for me, next to ending the "war" in Iraq, is the most important issue. Of course no one mentions anything about this (except Kucinich). Obviously none of the candidates want to introduce this into the current campaigns as it would be so disruptive and add problems they would much rather avoid. But for me it is of the utmost importance. There is no doubt that Bush/Cheney and many others are guilty of war crimes and have the blood and misery of millions on their hands. They must be held accountable. But who will do it, if anyone? Any candidate that voted for the "war," like Hillary or Edwards, will not be in a very strong position to prosecute others. Obama didn't vote for the "war" but wants to reach out to others in the spirit of bipartisanship, good fellowship. harmony, and all that. I don't want to reach out across the aisle and try to make nice with a bunch of war criminals. I want them held accountable for their horrible criminal acts. Kucinich is probably the only one who would actually try to do something about these war crimes. But the MSM have decreed that Kucinich is basically a non-candidate (they always decide who we can vote for). They effectively muzzle him, ignore him, belittle him, ridicule his size and vegan habits, and then have the audacity to report that he only polls one percent. Of course he only polls one percent when they have already made it clear that he has no chance of becoming President. I firmly believe that if this were not the case he would easily be in double digits.

Clearly there is an enormous amount of guilt out there among members of both parties and even among the general public to a certain extent. And equally clearly not everyone can be, or even should be, held accountable. But certainly the ringleaders, Bush/Cheney, Rove, Gonzales, Rumsfeld, Rice, and the leading neocons should be. If not, the U.S. will be exposed as a nation of criminal hypocrites for all time. I hope that McClellan's expose might be the turning point where these criminal acts cannot continue to be covered up or ignored. Given what has happened to date I cannot say I am sanguine about the possibilities.

I heard today that Rove may be put in charge of the George W. Bush Library. That means it will not be a library at all, merely a shrine to Bush/Rove. Have they found a location for it yet? Might I suggest Paraguay. Better yet, how about the South Pole. There ought to be some ground opening up there soon.
