Vincent Bugliosi at Impeachment Hearings 7/25/08
Submitted by Rhonda15 on Fri, 07/25/2008 - 13:58
We are not allowed to use the word impeachment for Bush's Impeachment Hearing so please disregard my title. Also ignore the crowd applauding the former prosecutor's words, that too is not allowed.
Bugliosi is the author of the best selling book, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, but that book is being ignored by the MSM. ABC Radio refused to accept an advertisement for the book during the Don Imus show.
I guess they can't ignore this, or the 4,500 diggs this video got in 12 hours.
Spread the word. It is up to you.

AWESOME!!!
That took courage, that was fucking awesome!
Question
Can this impeachment be considered real even if they are not allowed to say Bush and impeachment ? I think they may be not allowing bush and impeachment to be said to avoid the impeachment. Is this possable?

Outrageous
It is outrageous that the "not impeachment" impeachment hearing turned into a circus at times. Nearly every panel member was pitching a book. It is outrageous in a "free" constitutional republic that any member of congress would infringe on the freedom of speech and expression of others. Telling audience members that any outburst of reaction is not allowed is a direct violation of the 1st amendment. Later in the "non impeachment" hearing audience members who had signs were told to leave, another outrageous violation of the 1st amendment. At the beginning of the "non impeachment" impeachment hearing, members of the panel were told not to directly accuse George W Bush of any crimes. They were also told not to use the term impeachment. Obviously another violation of the 1st amendment. Steve King needs to be removed from Congress immediately for violating people's bill of rights. Vincent Bugliosi is another new hero of mine. In my opinion he was the second star witness so to speak, right behind Bruce Fein.

Did Bush ever say that Iraq was an imminent threat?
I don't recall him ever claiming that.
Anyone have a clip or transcript of the speech from Bush that Bugliosi says Bush said Iraq was an imminent threat?
I thought the invasion was supposed to be a preventative strike, rather than the response to an imminent threat.

See?
He doesn't say Iraq was an imminent threat. The news editorial is saying he is saying that, but that's not what he's saying. As a matter of fact he's saying the opposite. He's saying that it's not yet a threat. He says he wants the attack to prevent a threat from "emerging." He says, "If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all recriminations would come too late..."
Bush's justification to attack was to prevent an imminent threat from arising. This is the "Bush doctrine." It's not to attack nations that are imminent threats, but to attack nations that are not imminent threats in order to prevent them from becoming imminent threats. This is the doctrine that we, non-interventionists, and Dr. Paul opposes. But, this also means Buglioisi's case falls apart because it's based on a claim that Bush never made.
Bush said openly that the reason for the attack was preventative. This is what we should be rallying against, the Bush doctrine, for what it admittedly is: the policy of attacking nations that are admittedly not an imminent threat. Instead we're being drawn into this distraction of looking for conspiracies, and people trying to sell books and trying to advance their political careers.

I would pay money to see a televised debate between you and Vincent Bugliosi. I'd enjoy watching him rip you and your weak-ass game a new orifice.
LOL
I'd be afraid to give the old geezer a heart attack.

Iraq called a threat to our Country
In his state of the union speech in 2003 he called Iraq a imminent threat.
These are Whitehouse Government news releases a transcript and a video tou can also get a audio version there and get it in Spanish. The quote you're looking for is almost at the end of the speech.

Bugliosi is right,and George is wrong
Where?
Can you provide a quote?
He says Iraq is a "mounting threat," but I don't see him saying it's an imminent or immediate threat in that speech.

Quote
From the horses mouth
"America will not accept a serious and mounting threat to our country, and our friends and our allies."
That's not saying Iraq is an imminent threat.
An imminent threat is not a mounting threat. An imminent threat is, as the term is used in in international law, an "instant, overwhelming, and leaving no choice of means, and no moment for deliberation."
That's clearly not what he was saying. The Bush Doctrine is not to attack nations that are an imminent threat. No one, that I'm aware of, is against attacking nations that are an imminent threat. The Bush Doctrine is to attack nations that he thinks will eventually become an imminent threat.

Potatoe, potato
You say potatoe I say potato hell it means the same thing.The Bush doctrine is Hitleristic piece of crap.His Grandfather even financed the Nazi regime and George is a Adolf clone.
It doesn't mean the same thing.
If Bush wanted to attack Iraq because it was an imminent threat, that would be justifiable. What is bad about the Bush doctrine is that it advocates attacking nations that are not yet an imminent threat, but which are believed to be mounting toward being an eventual imminent threat. Bush never made any bones about attacking Iraq with full acknowledgement that it was not yet an imminent threat. This is why his foreign policy is attrocious.

Agree
Well we finaly agree on something his foreign policy is the pits.His domestic policy is equaly attrocious.
BUMP FOR THE CONSTITUTION!

Great speech- HOWEVER
Great speech- I liked the information he brought up.
HOWEVER- I am SOOO sick and tired of our government reacting with the AMERICAN CITIZENS, a.k.a. The Bosses of this country- 'We The People,' being spoken to as if we are 'secondary.'
Such as their reaction when people began clapping in response to this speech. Excuse me??? I feel like we have the tail wagging the dog here! If I were in that room I'd clap all I want- don't speak to me as though I have no voice or opinion.
THAT would have pissed me off- BIG TIME!!!
GO RON PAUL!!!!!!
GO RON PAUL!!!!!!

he is smart for doing it....
he is using the most conservative possible estimate so that they won't try to bash him from that angle...
he wanted to be absolutely as solid as possible in his case.

I glad he mentioned his book
But didn't it get a little petty with everyone suddenly wanting to plug their own books ? what is this Jay Leno or a serious meeting? And the iraqi's dead arenot 100,000 it's almost 1,300,000

I Saw
The book recognition as adding some validity to the speakers but also had a cheesiness to it.
Powerful words by VB but....
where does he get the 100,000 # from? It's my understanding the # of dead Iraqi civilians is closer to 1.2 million.
I think that's the number of
I think that's the number of displaced Iraqi's. The either homeless or vacated the country and gone to Syria.
