The only good that can come of this is that any chance that this worthless excuse for leadership will quickly be relegated to the dung heap of history and we can begin to repair the damage that has been done.
Unfortunately, we may never recover from the damage this abomination of a president has done to our country's reputation. Certainly, with this scandal, he has done more to encourage and embolden our enemies than any act of terrorism could ever have hoped to accomplish.
Disgusting.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) took up his theme, telling reporters "we're talking about rape and murder here. We're not just talking about giving people a humiliating experience."
A Senate source later said that the video does not show rapes or murders, an account corroborated by a senior Army official -- who said he believes the video segments are similar to the type of files that can be e-mailed or viewed on the Internet. But neither source said exactly what is on the video.
NBC News has reported that additional photos showed U.S. soldiers treating dead bodies inappropriately, beating prisoners nearly to death, and the apparent rape of a female Iraqi prisoner, as well as the rape of young Iraqi boys by Iraqi prison guards. Defense officials couldn't confirm that account.
During his testimony, Rumsfeld made clear his exasperation with dealing with a "radioactive" scandal, when images shot by a digital camera can be beamed around the world almost instantaneously by e-mail or stored by the hundreds on a CD.
"We're functioning ... in the Information Age, where people are running around with digital cameras and taking these unbelievable photographs and then passing them off, against the law, to the media, to our surprise, when they had not even arrived in the Pentagon," Rumsfeld said.
