More proof Bush lied to America

A transcript of a discussion between President Bush and Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar in February 2003 in which Bush told Aznar that the U.S. would go to war with Iraq to disarm Saddam Hussein with or without a UN resolution:

“We must take him right now. We have shown an incredible degree of patience until now. There are two weeks left. In two weeks we will be militarily ready ... We will be in Baghdad at the end of March.”
--GW Bush, 2/22/03

Less Than 2 weeks later, Bush insisted to the American public that war with Iraq was not a certainty:

“I’ve not made up our mind about military action. Hopefully, this can be done peacefully.” GW Bush , 3/6/03

“We are doing everything we can to avoid war in Iraq. But if Saddam Hussein does not disarm peacefully, he will be disarmed by force.” GW Bush, 3/8/03

TN Congresswoman Blackburn - whining hypocrite

Tennesseans, here's our congresswoman Blackburn who can complain about every detail of a political ad she doesn't like, bash the NYT for running it, yet she doesn't have a clue of the name of the last soldier from her district killed in Iraq: Jeremy Bohanon killed in August, just 18 yrs old. Listen to her talk, what a dim-whitted phony.

David Shuster to Blackburn:

"I still think it's a little bit suprising that you didn't know the name of this last soldier killed in Iraq [from your district] who was only 18 yrs old, yet you know so much about the MoveOn.org ad and the tactics you don't like."

Republican Federal Prosecutor arrested on suspicion of traveling to have sex with a 5 year old

And yes folks, it’s been reported - he’s a registered Republican.

Detroit 4:

DETROIT — A U.S. Justice Department official has been arrested on suspicion of traveling to Detroit over the weekend to have sex with a minor. John David R[oy]. Atchison, 53, an assistant U.S. attorney from the northern district of Florida, was arraigned in U.S. District Court in Detroit Monday afternoon. An undercover officer posed as a mother offering her child to Atchison for sex, according to police. Prosecutors said Atchison flew from Pensacola, Fla., to Detroit on Sunday intending to have sex with the 5-year-old girl. He was arrested at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. He is charged with enticement of a minor to engage in sexual activity.

The undercover detective expressed concern about physical injury to the 5-year-old girl as a result of the sexual activity. Detectives said Atchison responded, ” I am always gentle and loving; not to worry, no damage ever, no rough stuff ever. I only like it soft and nice.”

Crone

I’m at a loss for words. This US Attorney has said he’s done this before. I’m completely at a loss for words thinking about those little girls subjected to this sexual deviant.

Questions to be asked:

1. Has he ever used his position as an attorney, and specifically a US Attorney, to intimidate mothers into allowing him to sexually assault little girls?
2. How many little girls has he sexually assaulted?
3. Will Atchison be cut from the US Attorney office post haste?

How many times have we heard the phrase? -

“US attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president”

I’m sure glad Rove and BushCo weeded out all those bad US attorneys! In his spare time, Atchison is the president of the Gulf Breeze Sports Association, a sports league for young children.

Just weeks ago, another Republican sex scandal in Florida came to an end when St. Petersburg’s Republican City Council Chairman John Bryan committed suicide after news spread that authorities were investigating allegations that he had sexually abused three girls, including two of his adopted daughters, ages 12 and 15.

Flashback:

Mark Rose says Republican sex scandals don’t happen very often.

UPDATE:

Gahzette - Atchison’s boss, Gregory Miller, was appointed by pResident Bush in 2002 as US Attorney for Northern Florida. He was proud of his record of hunting down pedophiles who use the internet to lure their prey or who possess child pornography.
