Changing the Subject

God, I'm sick of hearing about Nancy Pelosi and what she knew. If I was to turn on Fox News right now, I'll bet that's what the tards on that lugubrious propaganda machine would be bloviating about.

Yes, I agree, Nancy Pelosi is guilty.

Guilty of collusion. Guilty of being an accessory to the crime. Guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty.

Now that we've established that, I need to point out that this "Get Pelosi" campaign is just another lame attempt by the United yee-haws of this yoostabee a republic to change the subject. And the subject is torture.

Because they know and we know it's like this: George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld, assisted by teams of sycophant and servile lawyers willing to give them whatever abortion of the law they asked for, haphazardly took a bunch of Muslims from the Middle East and elsewhere captive, often on the flimsiest pretexts, denied them habeus corpus or any semblance of legal rights or even legal identity, then deliberately, illegally, and most immorally tortured them.

The main reason they did this was to try to extract false confessions from these mostly innocent victims of their rage, hatred, and ignorance. They wanted "evidence" that there was some kind of connection between al-Qaida, suspected of the terror attacks of 9/11, and Saddam Hussein, whom Osama bin Laden was in the habit of referring to as a "socialist infidel."

They felt they needed to establish this "connection" to publicly justify and excuse the illegal and immoral war they intended to wage on Iraq, for purposes of stealing control of that country's huge oil reserves.

These men are pirates and thieves.

In going about this filthy work they asked for and got the passive assent of the cowardly and hypocritical Democratic leadership. Big, big deal.

Having lied about their reasons for committing these outrages, the criminals remain defiant to this day, and will never give an inch. Cheney's most recent television blitz has had him compounding his earlier lies, and shouting from the housetops that his gang of sadists and perverts did what they did to "keep America safe." Yet the fact is they stopped doing torture when they were caught and exposed by the press, and America was no less "safe" then than before, judging by the historical record.

Pelosi should be ashamed for going along with these abominations without uttering a peep. She now claims she was "misinformed" by the CIA. Maybe she was, but she still knew what was going on. If ordinary people like me knew, so did she.

But if Pelosi and the Democrats should be ashamed, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and their enablers should be hanged for their crimes against the human race. They, not Nancy Pelosi, managed to make the United States the most hated country on earth since Nazi Germany, and they need to pay for it.

So, Nancy Pelosi knew what they were doing. So fucking what?
