Finally, a handful of Republican senators who are willing to take a stand against some of Bush's foreign policies!
Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) stated that the White House should take a proactive stance against the abuse and torture of foreign prisoners. This stance has been advocated by Senator John McCain (R-AZ), and is supported by Hagel. Vice President Dick Cheney, however, supports the use of torture against CIA-held detainees.
I believe if the US had focused its attention on Afghanistan, Pakistan and al-Queda, it would have been much more successful in rooting out these extremists, who actually presented a real danger to the United States. Now we are stuck pumping a billion dollars a week into Iraq to fight a war that cannot be won! Logical, huh?
When will the US Congress hold George Bush accountable for high treason, misrepresentation and crimes against humanity?
In 2006, we must vote to return Democrats to the US Congress! That is our only hope for sanity and accountability!
