[PAA-Discuss] Olbermann on Bush

[Lee Loe]

happy independence day. Lee L

Keith Olbermann:

I accuse you, Mr. Bush, of lying this country into war.

I accuse you of fabricating in the minds of your own people, a false implied
link between Saddam Hussein and 9/11.

I accuse you of firing the generals who told you that the plans for Iraq
were disastrously insufficient.

I accuse you of causing in Iraq the needless deaths of 3,586 of our brothers
and sons, and sisters and daughters, and friends and neighbors. 

I accuse you of subverting the Constitution, not in some misguided but
sincerely-motivated struggle to combat terrorists, but to stifle dissent.

I accuse you of fomenting fear among your own people, of creating the very
terror you claim to have fought.

I accuse you of exploiting that unreasoning fear, the natural fear of your
own people who just want to live their lives in peace, as a political tool
to slander your critics and libel your opponents.

I accuse you of handing part of this Republic over to a Vice President who
is without conscience, and letting him run roughshod over it.

And I accuse you now, Mr. Bush, of giving, through that Vice President,
carte blanche to Mr. Libby, to help defame Ambassador Joseph Wilson by any
means necessary, to lie to Grand Juries and Special Counsel and before a
court, in order to protect the mechanisms and particulars of that
defamation, with your guarantee that Libby would never see prison, and, in
so doing, as Ambassador Wilson himself phrased it here last night, of
becoming an accessory to the obstruction of justice.
