Censure Bush for Misleading Us

In an attempt to evade responsibility for the misleading statements that pushed the nation into war, Bush has announced plans to form an independent inquiry to look into what went wrong. An inquiry would serve the Bush administration well: it would envelop the issue in a fog of uncertainty, deflect blame onto the intelligence services, and delay any political damage until 2005, after the upcoming election.

But the facts need no clarification. Despite repeated warnings from the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency, President Bush and his administration hyped and distorted the threat that Iraq posed. And now that reality is setting in, the President wants to pin the blame on someone else. We can't let him.

Congress has the power to censure the President — to formally reprimand him for betraying the nation's trust. If ever there was a time for this, it's now.

US billionaires bankroll anti-Bush ads

Claire Cozens
Tuesday November 11, 2003

Two of the world's richest men have pledged up to $5m for an anti-George Bush advertising campaign in an effort to oust the US president in next year's presidential election.
The international financier George Soros and Peter Lewis, chairman of the US motor insurance firm Progressive Corp, are prepared to spend £3m between them on television ads criticising the president.

They have pledged to donate 50 cents for every $1 raised for a planned $10m campaign being put together by the online activists Moveon.org.

The organisation, which has already begun broadcasting ads in West Virginia, is planning a major anti-Bush campaign focusing on the war in Iraq, the economy and the state of the American education system.

Mr Soros is a known supporter of the Democratic party and already contributes $1m a year to the leftwing think-tank the Center for American Progress and famously gave away nearly $5 bn - £2.9bn - to promote democracy in the former Soviet bloc, Africa and Asia.

He told the Washington Post defeating Mr Bush was "the central focus of my life", adding that the 2004 presidential race was "a matter of life and death".

"America, under Bush, is a danger to the world. And I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is," he said.

New legislation in the US bars political parties from spending large sums of money on advertising to vote out their opponents. Instead, pressure groups such as Moveon.org have stepped in to mobilise voters.

It is the first time Mr Soros has contributed such a large amount to a US campaign - in 2000 he gave $122,000, mostly to Democratic causes and candidates.

But recently Mr Soros has become alarmed at a rise in the influence of what he calls the neo-conservatives, whom he claims are exploiting the September 11 terrorist attacks on the US to promote an agenda of pre-emptive war.

"Bush feels that on September 11 he was anointed by God," Soros said. "Rather than defeating terrorism, he's leading the US and the world toward a vicious circle of escalating violence."

I love this...

You have to admit...for someone to blow their money on getting a President out of office...that President must be EVIL and BAD for the country.

I think this is a great site, TrueMajority.org. They are affiliated with the one you posted.

Good for them! I've always been a fan of some of the things that George Soros has contributed to in the past - it's good to see he's still spending his money in the right way.

Not so fast there, Lefty. CBS and Clarke are partners in book sales. Bernie Goldberg is right again:

A censure would be pointless, Bush will be history by January 2005.
