Hah! So let me get this straight. Getting a "BJ" by an intern is considered a "high crime", but taking the country to an illegal, immoral and unnecessary war, which has killed thousands and thousands on both sides, not to mention is costing a bundle, while making a fortune for family, friends and business colleagues is not a "high crime?"
I dunno but that is some f'cked up logic from where I sit.

Be very proud of your rhetorical comment above, especially the boldened part, k?
As a vet to another vet, it seems that your continuing to play vets against vets, huh, ECK?
The divide just keeps getting further and further apart. Your doing an exceptional job in furthering that divided. Great work.

Most if they will talk about it, will tell you war is hell but sometimes necessary. Our cities were bombed! We could have sit around and waited for the UN to screw things up more or we could teach these satanic disciples there are consequences for screwing with the USA.
The truth about Pearl Harbor
By Mujahid Kamran
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 enabled USA to enter the war in Europe, a war that the White House wished to enter for strategic reasons but could not, owing to the opposition of the American public and the Congress. It may therefore be of deep interest to know as to how was it that the Japanese were able to launch a “surprise” attack on Hawaii on December 7, 1941. The question is particularly relevant in the post 9/11 world.
Fortunately researchers have been able to uncover the terrible truth behind this attack as a result of the Freedom of Information Act (FIOA). A treasure trove of documented evidence implicating the then President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) and a coterie of confidantes with preplanned provocation and foreknowledge of the Japanese attack was uncovered. The documents were hidden away in naval vaults and were concealed from nine Congressional inquiries, including the last one held during Clinton’s Presidency in 1995.

Rogue Officialdom

The exoneration of top brass in the Abu Ghraib scandal makes a mockery of our system.
Only America's most jaded and cynical critics could have foreseen what has occurred during the year since CBS News first exposed the terrible abuses at Abu Ghraib.
Since April 28, 2004, we have learned that the images captured inside the notorious military prison revealed only the initial clues to a grim investigation that has reached from Guantánamo Bay into Iraq, Afghanistan and several other countries. We have seen evidence proving that several hundred detainees in those places were subjected to brutal and illegal violence, and that dozens of them died under dubious circumstances. And the ultimate responsibility for many of those abuses can be traced to high-ranking military and civilian officials, notably including Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
From the beginning, we were promised complete accountability by the nation's ranking authorities in the White House, the Pentagon and Congress. We were assured by the president, the secretary of state and assorted senators that any guilty soldiers and officers would be punished for their misconduct, but that lowly miscreants would not be made scapegoats for their culpable superiors. We were told, again and again, that the government's response to this scandal would demonstrate the resilience of our system - and that the cynics at home and around the world were wrong to predict whitewash and coverup.
