The Political Chase

Briefly

A brief administrative note. I have added a few historical posts from my former site. As time permits and is appropriate, I will
add more entries.

Air CIA

While the commercial airlines (e.g. United, Delta) are struggling to survive, Air CIA flourishes. Air CIA is not a corporation nor is that a legitimate air carrier’s name. It is an operation administered by the US intelligence community which is in the purview of the Bush administration. Rendition is Air CIA’s raison d’etre.

The Clinton administration initiated the rendition program, but the Bush administration has taken it to new heights. It does not fly at the altitude levels of general or commercial aviation. It boldly goes “where no man has gone before.” First Class seating is not available on this Boeing 737.

George Bush, the first person to serve a presidential term outside the requirements defined by The United States Constitution, continues to ignore the Constitution exists. Why would he do otherwise? It certainly worked well for him in 2000 and throughout his first term; there can be no logical reason to fix what is not broken. Right?

This president, who was supposedly elected in 2004 on the basis of “values” (which includes faith per his definition), specifically stated on January 27, “torture is never acceptable, nor do we hand over people to countries that do torture.” Ahmed Abu Ali, Maher Arar and Khaled el-Masri, frequent flier members of Air CIA, are but a few that have survived the treatment President Bush says doesn’t occur. I believe “techniques of drowning and suffocation, rape…and also the insertion of limbs in boiling liquid” are elements of torture.

Abu-“Giraffe” (the president’s pronunciation) obviously had no impact on this man of high values and principles. In addition to kidnapping, crimes against humanity and wanton disregard of the Geneva Convention, President Bush is responsible for violations of Amendments 5, 6, 8 and 14 of the Constitution. Article III, Section 4 clearly states:

“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

How many violations of the Constitution and criminal statutes does does take to be impeached?

In 1998 the president was impeached for falsehoods about his private sexual affairs, which hurt no one. But, that’s looking at incorrectly. It has to be put in the proper perspective. Remember? September 11, 2001 “changed everything.” So way back then — one thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight CE — a neocon-sponsored political coup d’etat coup was indeed something Congress should have acted on with all due speed. Now, were in the Grand Era of Bush and Cheney; therefore, violating the Constitution, treaties, and federal criminal statues are simply a matter of gittin’ ‘er done and unlimited expansion of executive power.

No worries mate.
