Convict Barry and Hillary

“War is the health of the state,” said Randolph Bourne.  “War is hell,” said General Sherman.  The war criminal Sherman was an expert in the subjects of hell and war.  When I was twelve, I attended my brother Mike’s graduation from St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute.  The year was 1970 and the Vietnam War was raging.  The commencement speaker, himself a hero of World War II, was, nevertheless, a man of peace. He blasted away at the war at some risk to his career as a judge in the very conventional and timorous world that was Buffalo in that era.

That same man would later spend many years working for free for the rights of pro-lifers to protest.  To him, it was the same issue, life.  He also opposed the death penalty so he, like Ron Paul, accomplished the pro-life trifecta, a rarity these days.  The commencement speaker that May day was our father, William J. Ostrowski.  He knew war and hated it.  At age 18, he had marched off to face the Nazis while passing row after row of young American boys dead by the roadside.

The authors are not naïve about the prospects for such an investigation being approved by the House.  Our opinion of the House is as low as anyones.  Many in the House likely approved the suspects’ projects in Libya and Syria and with the exception of the attack on the consulate in Benghazi, have expressed little or no interest in investigating them.  As of today, there is zero political will to initiate impeachment proceedings.  However, history shows that what is politically impossible one day can become politically mandatory the next.

There are some good men and women in the House of Representatives and it is to them and to the American people that this volume is initially addressed.  A copy of this book will be forwarded to each Member of the House so they cannot deny being put on notice of these charges.  At the end of the day, the authors are only responsible for what they do, not what others do.
