They dont need it it. Its obsolete. Just another idiot Bush/Cheney mess they can be though with. Those two morons left so many landmines in our Govt so many quagmires it will take a generation to clean them all out of the system. It was a bad idea. It was a Bushco idea. The Rethugs are full of bad ideas. We pay for them, Dems are always left to clean up their mess while the rethugs crow from the gallery and spread fear and lies and hate and scam and grift and get back in power and they do it again.
The idiots must not be permitted to continue this loop. This vicious circle.

I recall when it first came to light and was an issue in 2003. We allowed it to slide and the Bushco continued the crime wave they were conducting with their torture and then 12 billion cash was disappeared and W joked about the WWMDs so we all were supposed to think that was funny. But it was just sad. It was sickening. He was drunk in China, and disrespectful in dealings with the entire world. He was an embarrassment.
