Umm, other people are saying it too. Is it unpatriotic to discuss this on the fourth...or really patriotic????
I'm thinking of Mayor Rocky Anderson's comments.

"I think that when we have a president who has blatantly violated our own Constitution, our own treaty obligations, our own statutory law, abused his
powers in remarkable ways, undermined the balance of power, exerted a unitary executive power unknown to this country and to our democracy, and at the
same time betrayed his trust with our Congress, with the American people, by his deceit in leading us into this war and through his utter incompetency
-- if impeachment were ever called for, this is certainly the time, and this is exactly what the founders had in mind. "

"MAYOR ROCKY ANDERSON: Our nation has engaged in a tragic unnecessary war, based upon categorically false justifications. More than 100,000 people
have been killed. And many more have been seriously maimed, brain-damaged or rendered mentally ill. Our nation's reputation throughout much of the
world has been destroyed. We have many more enemies bent on our destruction than before our invasion of Iraq. And the hatred toward us has grown to
the point that it will take many years, perhaps generations, to overcome the loathing created by our unjustified illegal invasion and occupation of a
Muslim nation.
What incredible ineptitude and callousness for our president to talk about a crusade, while lying to us to make a case for the invasion and occupation
of a Muslim country. Our children and later generations will pay the price of the lies, the violence, the cruelty, the incompetence and the inhumanity
of the Bush administration and the lackey congress that has so cowardly abrogated its responsibility and authority under our checks and balances
system of government. We are here to say, “We will not stand for it anymore! No more lies! No more preemptive illegal war based on false
information! No more ‘God is on our side’ religious nonsense to justify this immoral illegal war!”
