Wow.
Check this out.
If you want to hear the fiery rhetoric of a crusading, anti-war true believer, call in a Republican. That's right. And a heartlander from Illinois.When former Rep. Paul Findley openly broke with Bush over his Iraqi war policy, he didn't leave any asterisks in the text or wriggle room in the position.
"I believe President George W. Bush's decision to initiate war in Iraq will be the greatest and most costly blunder in American history," Findley wrote in a recent paper prepared for the Council for the National Interest, a Washington organization advocating a new direction for U.S. Middle East policy. "He has set Ameri- can on the wrong course."
Findley's quarrel is with the policy of this administration, not just intelligence.
At 82, retired from Congress for two decades, he was never the type who took on presidents of his own party. Though controversial, he was so loyal that he even defended Richard M. Nixon. Although he eventually voted for the impeachment of Nixon, he preferred censure.
But Findley said he is "fully prepared" to join in urging Bush's defeat this fall unless there is a change in Bush's policy in the Middle East.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
Findley at 82 is showing more spine and integrity than anyone else i can think of.
Hit him Findley, Hard!! Don't stop!
Our country has been set back centuries by this president...let's get Bush out of office and start Rebuilding America!
Regime change truly should begin at home...it's not too late to take our country back. Another Buscist term, and it might.
Fight for justice, our lives depend upon it!
