<\/a>Several of “The Jersey Girls,” who were widowed in the 9\/11 attacks, have issued a statement<\/a> in response to the Bin Laden audiotape released last week which excoriated Bush for his failure and apparent disinterest — “I don’t know where he is. You know, I just don’t spend that much time on him … I truly am not that concerned about him.” — in hunting him down “dead or alive”, as he once acted like he was promising.<\/p>\n

Further, they criticize him for having “sanctioned the torture of individuals, breached constitutional safeguards regarding the privacy rights of U.S. citizens and started an illegal war in Iraq.”<\/p>\n

Not to mention their enumeration of the various 9\/11 Commission recommendations that Bush has all but ignored to this day, some four years and four months since the deaths of their husbands.<\/p>\n

This graf however, in particular, caught my eye:<\/p>\n

if we are attacked again, President Bush’s shameless disregard of our constitutional rights and his poor judgment in defending our nation against terrorists should be borne out in his resignation from office or a Congressional demand for impeachment.<\/div>\n

While we agree with the general sentiment, we have just one quibble: Bush should resign now<\/i> for his unprecedented Constitutional transgressions. There is no reason to wait for the next attack, and indeed it would be insane to do so. Especially as this rubber-stamp Congress will do everything in their power to avoid an impeachment<\/i> — as appropriate as would be right now<\/i> — in deference to their Political Party’s “Commander-in-Chief”.<\/p>\n

Bush would never<\/i> have the courage or fortitude or integrity or simple manliness to stand up and face down any impeachment proceeding. He’d go running away with his tail between his legs like the chickenhawk he is, once it became clear that virtually any<\/i> such impeachment proceedings would have him dead to rights.<\/p>\n

So why not show some sense of honor and dignity now<\/i>, Mr. Bush, by leaving the office which you have tainted and stained beyond even Bill Clinton’s wildest wet-dreams?<\/p>\n

It’s time for Bush, and his criminal co-conspirator Dick Cheney, to resign from office immediately<\/i> in order to save this country from one more day of inexcusable exposure to attack from terrorists, but even more so, for Bush\/Cheney’s demonstrated and unmitigated loathing of American Values, their unapologetic failure to uphold their oaths of office to “protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”, and, once and for all, to put an end to the metastized cancer of the unprecedented<\/i> Executive Shame they have brought to the great United States of America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
