Letter: No more patience for Bush or Cheney

Thursday, March 22, 2007 | 7:09 a.m.

Regarding President Bush's plea for patience in Iraq:

Patience for what? In order for Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney to make sure the fourth generation of their families after their demise still has enough money to buy expensive vehicles and profit off this overdrawn war? Reading Peter Hermann's March 20 letter, "Serving at president's pleasure invites trouble," calling for Bush and Cheney to be impeached for their misconduct at the pleasure of the American people, gave me pleasure.

My pleasure would be to see those two put into a rest home, just as it's so comforting to know they could live peacefully without having it on their conscience that they have killed so many people for the profitability of a handful of corporations.

Wasn't it World War II where the soldiers peeled their own potatoes and provided K.P. for their own fellow soldiers? Why is it now the source of profitability for some corporation named Halliburton, which has taken its profits and established its headquarters in Dubai?

My patience would be relieved if there were a petition to have these two involuntarily forced into a nice rest home - possibly in Dubai?
