The "non-partisan" wreath-laying by our Criminal-in-Chief

i posted about this last night and, true to form, the wapo dutifully repeats the white house spin, but at least has the courtesy to bury it on page A06...

Bush's visit here for the moment left aside the partisan rancor that long ago supplanted the sense of unity and shared purpose emerging immediately after the attacks...

non-partisan, my ass... a truly non-partisan move would have been calling for a five-minute national moment of silence today at noon...

Bush has implored Americans to go about their daily lives, even as he has invoked extraordinary powers that he says are the prerogative of a president leading a nation at war. "I think he recognized this was going to be a challenge," [White House counselor Dan] Bartlett said.

the "challenge," mr. bartlett, is going to be for bush to escape without impeachment or war crimes charges, as i think bush realizes all too well...

The President is undoubtedly familiar with the doctrine of command responsibility, where commanders, all the way up the chain of command to the commander in chief, can be held liable for war crimes their inferiors commit if the commander knew or should have known they might be committed and did nothing to stop or prevent them.
