I don't get it.
Bush wants to legalize torture so he can't be brought to justice for his war crimes. The Geneva Convention prohibits torture. So he decides that he'll change that document to cover his ass.
And three or four voter-fearing Repugs decide to (finally) say no to this bozo. But it appears that the solution will be a COMPROMISE.
A compromise?
That means that Bush wins something on this issue for which he should win squat!
When are we going to realize how we're being duped by this slug? He's playing us for chumps and we go right along like lambs to the slaughter.
He proposes the most extreme measures. Congress says no...but we'll "discuss" it with him. So they settle on a COMPROMISE and Bush wins.
He wins by saying "I did X". He wins by changing the rules to the game he wants to play. And then he piles onto his "win" and issues a signing document saying he can do whatever he wants.
And we lose. AGAIN!
(Hey - look at Holy Joe Lieberman. He's been compromising with Bush and the Repugs for years in the name of bi-partisanship, and look where he is now...he's a Repug in independent clothing!)
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THERE ARE SOME ISSUES FOR WHICH COMPROMISE MUST NEVER OCCUR. THERE SHOULD BE NO COMPROMISE ON CHANGING THE DEFINITIONS OF TORTURE. THERE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE A DISCUSSION OF THIS IMMORAL SUGGESTION.
S O M E B O D Y, please, stand up to Bush - totally and completely!
