For all practical purposes he's gone and as the days roll by we will be caught up in new realities and I figure that a lot of the angst towards GWB will dissipate simply because there will be more important things to deal with and never enough time.

However, it is not reasonable to assume that it *will* lead to such indictments. This is a summary of my position:

Nobody has any idea at this moment as to whether there will be criminal charges against the Imbecile. Some of us hope there will be. As you say there are lots of emails and papers to unravel and also like you said we need to be patient and time will tell. Because we mention the Abramoff stuff David seems to think that we should be able to disclose what is in all that material. Sorry David you will have to be patient like us and wait to see. Your statement at 209 that "It is wishful thinking based on a reaction against Bush and his policies, rather than a rational statement based on knowledge of the facts." does not hold any water as at this point in time you are not aware of the total facts surrounding the issues and you have narrowed your argument to Bush. We are in hope that evidence may appear that has the effect of charging the Imbecile and some of his gang. We do not know if there is any concrete evidence the same as you do not know the opposite. But keep fishin! Which is exactly where we are at Chris. Nobody has any idea at this moment as to whether there will be criminal charges against the Imbecile. Some of us hope there will be.

Those links are certainly interesting and the Abramoff scandal is one that I acknowledge that I overlooked.

There are several links in the link itself. I do not think david has time to read all the links nor, IMHO does he bother. http://www.opednews.com/articles/The-Abramoff-Trail-Might-B-by-Roger-Shuler-090108-606.html 201

You yourself say, 'Be patient' and 'Just wait they will come out in time.' Saying that they *will* come out in time demonstrates that you are absolutely positive that they exist. Chris B at 227,

You all seem pretty certain. You yourself say, ‘Be patient’ and ‘Just wait they will come out in time.’

Saying that they *will* come out in time demonstrates that you are absolutely positive that they exist.
