from that link: "In addition to a criminal war of aggression in Iraq" Sorry, but that's total bullshit. Congress voted, and approved the war. Going to war was the wrong thing to do, but in no way was it a criminal act by the presidency. He followed policy. You can't impeach someone just because you don't like what they do. They actually have to break the law first ;) |
Do you even read the news at all? The only reason Congress voted on whether or not to attack Iraq was because the Bush Admnistration (at the time enjoying approval ratings in the 70 to 80+ range) inundated them with information on why they should attack Iraq. Their information was exaggerated as best, and many of it was outright lies that simply ignored the great deal of intelligence they had which countered their claims.

The Bush administration has accused some members of Congress of rewriting history by claiming the president misled Americans about the reasons for going to war. Congress, the administration says, saw the same intelligence and agreed Iraq was a threat.
But Dicks says the intelligence was "doctored." And he says the White House didn't plan for and deploy enough troops for the growing insurgency.

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
