Mr. Bush has been quoted as saying that he is “disinclined” to issue pardons to himself and his administration.
This “non-denial” is something to consider seriously.
This lame duck president has had the privilege of the office long enough. Please do not allow him to pardon himself and his administration. That would compound his criminality. He is already an embarrassment to this country.
He must be held accountable for the terrible things he has done. He sent our young people into harm's way and got more than 3,000 killed unnecessarily.
He deprived the nation of Habeas Corpus and perpetuated lies. If he is pardoned what is to keep another future president from doing something similar?
Congress must act, it is their function to do so!

1> On this Iraq War thing, here is a news flash. We have won. 25 million humans liberated. 2> Bush never lied, he simply acted on the Clinton policy of regime change in Iraq using the best available intelligence from all the world's intelligence agencies and about 15 UN resolutions. 3> With respect to torture, there never was any. You can't produce as much as a single severed finger. Your BDR (Bush Derangement Syndrome) can be cured but the cure is painful - it is called truth. "

Democrats and Republicans are idiots alike -- I take no sides on that one and still think Bush and Cheney are criminals. "

Oh, now that's very noble, and it's a good argument why Bush and Cheney are not criminals -- are you saying they are not criminals because they are giving a small group of Americans the opportunity to risk their lives for good pay and benefits?!?!?? On a war that has made us debt-slaves to China so they can dump their dangerously poorly-made products on our market and drive American companies out of business?
Cheeko, you make zero sense at all. "

And let's not forget the sanctioning of torture on prisoners who have not been charged with anything, much less had a fair trial and been found guilty of anything.
That's just for starters. "

Have you conveniently overlooked the illegal war, and the illegal wiretapping? Oh, and uh, don't forget that nasty little inconvenient thing called "Torture"--that's not just against American law, that's against INTERNATIONAL Law! Bush and Cheney are therefore INTERNATIONAL War Criminals.
We, and the rest of the world should act with haste to arrest, indict, and try these scums, and all their sycophantic hanger-ons who were in on the plot to bring dictatorship to America with the ruse of "Terror".
Honestly man, you must be living in some drug-spawned mental utopia? "
