Zacarias Moussaoui's True Purpose

from Taylor Marsh:

"The Republicans want to distract you. They want to make this about the death penalty. Others don't want to cover the trial at all. It's just too cumbersome. Then you have people like Bull Moose who buy into the "Justice Denied" crap. It's not the issue, but some Democrats have lost sight of what is. Let me remind everyone then: it's about Bush's failed "war on terror," or as it should be known, the war against terrorism and radical Islam. Bull Moose blabbers on, quoting Deborah Burlingame, who said, "But I think it is very dangerous to show compassion to the cruel because they will bring cruelty to the compassionate." And what would this be without some Republican railing about the French? There is no doubt that our Oprah culture had something to do with the jury's verdict, but it was about a lot more than that, if people care to engage their brain. The simple fact is that Zacarias Moussaoui wasn't involved in 9/11, except in his delusional dreams, so the jury didn't go the extra mile and give him death. No 20 virgins for Zack. It would also help if Bush was actually prosecuting the guilty terrorists, instead of bringing some show trial to court that made a laughing stock out of us all. However, our president would rather torture people than bring them to justice.

George W. Bush couldn't find a terrorist if he were hiding in the White House rose garden, but even when he finds them he can't do the right thing. Bin Laden is still on the loose. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Ramzi Binalshibh have disappeared in one of Bush's brilliant ideas to torture them to death in hopes to get information. What that yields is two actual terrorists who were involved in 9/11 will never be brought before the American people for justice because Bush's prosecution of the "war on terror" is so abjectly incompetent as to make even guilty men impossible of being charged, tried and convicted, even put to death, perhaps, for crimes they admit doing, because our president has tortured them beyond all use.

Bush is such a weak leader he can't even bring the guilty to justice. It's pathetic. It is also endangering us all. If we... no, when we are hit again there is only one place to put the blame: President George W. Bush. From there, you can spread the blame to his entire administration and the Republicans in control of Congress because they have let this president blow every campaign he has waged. The only reason we won the war in Afghanistan is because Rumsfeld was slow to the trigger, allowing the real competent people, the U.S. military and Special Forces, to do their jobs without Rummy's bumbling. Same goes for Iraq. The U.S. military was brilliant, but once the Bush administration took charge, Iraq went to hell the next day. I know, "stuff happens. . ."
