The recommendations continue regarding investigating grounds for impeaching George W. Bush as well as censure.  Periodically we also read and hear about petition efforts to attack Bush, Cheney, or Rumsfeld.

The time for such actions has long passed.  The term "arrogance of power" that was reiterated so often in analyzing the actions of President Richard M. Nixon three decades ago has been carried to new meaning through the ruthless exercise of power by an unelected ruling Junta led by Dick Cheney.

Despite the Cheney-Bush Junta's disdain for France, the comment that unlike any other epitomizes its rule was attributed to France's King Louis XIV of "L'etat, c'est moi."  This translates to "I am the state," directly applicable to a scorched earth policy by Cheney-Bush in which the United States Constitution has, according to some, been trashed with impunity.

The Constitution has been as much a victim of abandonment as have the poor and middle class socioeconomic elements in the Cheney-Bush economic experience.  When Bush seeks to treat war launching in Iraq as no more than a judgment error on weapons of mass destruction that yielded positive results in the end, he is engaging in insidious distortion.
