Vincent Bugliosi "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder"

Scott Drake talks with renowned prosecutor and author Vincent Bugliosi about his new book...

The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder

"If Bush, in fact, intentionally misled this nation into war, what is the proper punishment for him? Since many Americans routinely want criminal defendants to be executed for murdering only one person, if we weren't speaking of the president of the United States as the defendant here, to discuss anything less than the death penalty for someone responsible for over 100,000 deaths would on its face seem ludicrous.** But we are dealing with the president of the United States here".

I COULDN'T AGREE MORE! Bush should suffer the consequences of his actions! HE IS A MURDERER AND CONSPIRATOR!

February 2003 along with millions worldwide I walked the sreets in protest of Bush's plan to invade Iraq. It was obvious to many that the Bush/Cheney administration had their own agenda. But sadly it was not obvious to the majority of Americans.

The Republicans used very sophisticated marketing strategies to sell their "war" and were able to create a climate of loyalty and patriotism, all under false pretenses. Even many liberal Democratic politicians were duped. So many were fearful, Since 2003 when I would voice my opinion that Bush was a murderer, I would be told not to say that out loud. My friends were genuinely concerned for my safety. You would have thought we lived in communist China.

I am a 52 year old white woman who did not support Hillary Clinton for president because she voted in support of the Iraq war resolution. She now has an opportunity to redeem herself by joining this cause. She would be perfect. She's brilliant, fiesty, brave and has the stamina to take this on.
She endured the Ken Starr investigations and probably knows better than anyone how this process works.

I urge Hillary Clinton to join forces with Vincent Bugliosi to bring Bush and his cronies to justice.

Before buying Bugliosi's book I was a staunch George W. supporter. Now I'll be cheering if he is actually prosecuted. However, my much admired Bugliosi was greatly diminished in my eyes by what he wrote. Chapter 6, America Up Or Down? He writes that he's dissolutioned with America, it's not the America he grew up in. I whole heartedly agree. It was a more moral America at one time. But then he bashes Ken Starr for his attempt to "destroy the President of the U.S., mostly over his PRIVATE, CONSENSUAL SEX LIFE ..." Excuse me? Private in the White House? The American people's White House? Our President who, by his office, should set an example for our young? And Mr. Bugliosi actually accused Ken Starr of immoral conduct? Mr. Bugliosi, while you've made a believer out of me regarding George W., I am outraged that you would gloss over Clinton's actions while condeming Ken Starr.

I threw together a wordle for the now infamous October 7th speech. Scary stuff, especially when you consider what the president actually knew to be the case

Dear Mr. Bugliosi, I feel priviledged commenting on your latest book THE PROSECUTION OF GEORGE W. BUSH FOR MURDER. You are a true American PATRIOT. Isn't it ironic that to write in defence of, or on behalf of the interests of one's own country one has to show courage? I'm proud that this initial salvo against our President for his betrayal of our nation comes from an individual with similar roots as mine, that is Italian. I believe that every person of every nationality who loves this country should stand up for our nation, and NOT forfeit the vile direction it is taking while in the control of a nefarious group of individuals whose loyalty, I believe is misplaced, and misguided. It is a truth universaly acknowledged that the current destiny and direction of our country has been usurped by a band of treacherous individuals known as the NEOCONS.The principals of which are identified in your book, that is Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, David Feith,William Kristol, George Tenet, and many others.These people whom I consider traitors, together with the help of incredibly powerful organizations, such as AIPAC, ADL, and others too numerous to mention, have allies in our domestic, main stream media,and with this control they buy and impose their will on our cowardly Congress.Our Congress willingly and enthusiastically marches lock step to their tunes. The resultant foreign policies,are designed to serve the needs of a foreign country seven thousand miles away (Israel). These, have had a devastating result in the fortunes of our country both within and withought.Domestically they have contributed to the present economic demise,as billions upon billions of dollars are mispent in ruinous foreign misadventures (Iraq, etc.) as well as the loss of our freedoms.The deswtruction of our world Trade Centre is another casualty of their policies. In the eyes of the rest of the world we have become a pariah amongst civilized nations, and their belicose ideology has resulted in our once beloved country becoming the most despised nation on Earth. These individuals working together with other powerful individuals with similar goals, i.e. President Bush and V.P. Cheney, have destroyed everything good our nation once stood for in the eyes of the world. It is time for all Americans, from all nationalities, who worked together for the past three hundred years to work together, Republicans and Democrats, Americans of all denominations and backgrounds, Black and White, Asian Or Native Indians, male and female, if you prize your freedoms, to come together and neutralize in a Democratic show of loyalty and strike a blow against these profligate roguess. These Neocons who are bighting the very hand that feeds them. I'm proud that Vincent Bugliosi, an true American Patriot first, is leading the way to restore our country in its rightful hands, in the hands of the very people who are sacrificing their sons and daaughters in its defence.The first salvo he is already taking, that is prosecute President Bush for the damage he has already wrought.
Your book has inspired me to write the following poem which is a commemoration to our American Veterans who have and are continuing to sacrifice their lives in the service of our nation.

OH VETERAN MY VETERAN!
By Ermanno Barone

Oh Veteran my Veteran, why did you sacrifice?
To protect the freedoms in our land?
To bring Liberty and peace of mind?
To spread Democracy where there was none?
To write, to read, to think, to speak, without fear?
To worship Whomever and wherever we hold dear?
For these freedoms, you died gloriously.
We shall never forget.
So let it be known, so let it be said,
Because of you and what you sacrificed,
Our country and our liberties have survived.

Oh Veteran my Veteran, what did you sacrifice?
Was it your sight, your limbs, your life, your youth, your mind?
A shrapnel wound pierce your weakened arm?
A wayward bullet collapse your lung?
What happened to your crippled hand?

Oh Veteran my Veteran, where did you meet our foe?
Where did you face your fearful first fight?
The bayonet charge, the sniper's shot at night,
The cannon's blast,
Is that what tore your limbs apart? Remember speaking
of a fallen comrade, writhing with pain,
Prostrate, on that sacred ground laying,
Watching his guts oozing out from a stomach wound
Until he died? Oh horrid sight!
These painful echoes you can still find
Ringing through the troubled corridors of your mind.
.
Oh Veteran my Veteran where did you sacrifice?
Was it in Normandy you saw those morbid scenes?
Or on another forlorn shore?
On desert sands? Perhaps in a dense, pest
Infested, vermin crawling rainforest?
Was it is Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Iraq?
Is Iran the next planned attach?

Oh Veteran my Veteran heed me now! Our country
Needs your patriotism, your loyalty, your courage and your strength.
Have you not heard, my valiant friend?
There's trouble in our own land.
Our freedoms are being threatened.
Our Congress has been bought,
There's neither honor, nor loyalty in their thought.
Our leaders condescend.
They sell their souls, betraying us to a foreign Head.
Their idealism is dead.
Our media too has betrayed our trust
And gloat in the blood
Of freedom you once shed.

Oh Veteran my Veteran, you have done your part.
So quietly, so bravely you paid the price willingly.
"Demand of me all that I have to give
And while I live, I too will give it gladly."

Oh Veteran my Veteran....our country calls you now.
Mobilize those sacred principles we once moved
Heaven and Earth to secure and make us great.
We must preserve those cherished values, our way of life.
Isn't it ironic? There's no enemy from without,
We are threatened from within.
We need your bravery here at home, now, to help us win,
Or all you sacrificed for, will have been in vain.
