The Impeachment of Bush.
#4315875 - 06/20/05 01:25 AM (18 years, 9 months ago) |

In the local paper Friday (June 17, 2005) on the main national page read:
"Bush Pressed for answers concerning British memo
A hearing Thursday on a secret British intelligence memo that said President Bush was committed to waging war on Iraq months before he said so publicly ended with a request for Congress to open an iquiry into whether Bush should be impeached for misleading the nation"
Don't feel like typing out the whole long article. You will be able to find information regarding this online.
After doing a Google search I found:
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2005/05/31/the_i_word?mode=PF
Do you think that there is any realistic possibility that Bush will be impeached? It doesnt seem like this is very mainline and is being downplayed.
Please discuss.

Hell will be an ice-cube before Bush is impeached.

That stuff will give you cancer.
Then again, so does everything else.
I'd love to see Bush impeached. Chances of it happening? Not so great.

Bush will never be impeached because lying to get us into war clearly isn't as bad as getting a BJ.

Are you saying that falsifying evidence and a case for war, misleading one's nation through deception while under oath as the president of that nation is not a grand form of lying?

...the buck gets passed....Hans Blix was the man on the ground who Bush should have listened to, the man who was about to expose the false pretense Bush (or his cronies/informers/intelligence) was relying on to get Iraq. That couldn't be left to happen, so Blix was ignored, the prime source of intelligence was rejected.
Bush knew full well

A few months ago a secret memo from Tony Blair's government fell into the hands of a British newspaper. The 'Downing Street memo' as it has been called, states that the Bush administration had decided that sooner or later we were going to attack Iraq, and that the WMD question would be the justification. According to john Conyers, Maxine Waters and the Democratic 'leadership', this proves their conspiracy theory that the whole war was cooked up by Bush. The problem is that they have no motive.
It is true that Saddam tried to put a hit on the Senior Bush while he visited Kuwait, but was there enough anger by the son to avenge the attack on his father? I think not. Then there are those who insist that the war against Iraq was all about cheap oil. Taking a look at gas prices today, I can pretty confidently say that this theory is also bogus. What other motive could there be for the president to mislead the American public into thinking that we needed to take Saddam out? None that I can think of?
Charlie Rangel had this to say, "Quite frankly, evidence that appears to be building up points to whether or not the president has deliberately misled Congress to make the most important decision a president has to make, going to war."
Saddam very easily could have avoided war by letting the inspectors have free access to anywhere in Iraq, but he didn't.
Saddam could have stopped firing on our jets in the no fly zone, but he didn't. What choice did we have? We could have kept with the status quo and hoped that things would get better, or we could take action. I don't give a damn if Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11, he was a crazy dude who had no problem killing his own people and invading neighboring countries.
And what if we did find WMD's? Would the Dem's be happy? I doubt it. War is a nasty, ugly and brutal event that should not be taken lightly. He made the decision to go to war based upon years of intelligence and his own gut feeling. No one wants to see our troops die, certainly not me. I don't think the post-war occupation has been wildly successful, but it isn't a failure either.
Look for Rangel and Conyers to attempt impeachment hearing right about November. By that time, Hillary will have made her decision to run, and the Dem's will crank up the propaganda machine to try to push her into the White House.

It's not about cheap oil...it's about controlling the oil. Big difference.

You do realize that Iraq has a very small portion of the war's oil?

Oh, I'm sure he wanted war. I'm just saying it wasn't just him who wanted it. He was being fed exactly what he wanted to hear.
