1. Impeachment is the only solution, impeach both Bush and Cheney

12. Impeachment is one thing, having the numbers for the required...
"super majority" to convict is quite another. So, even impeachment would probably not force him to get the troops out of Iraq unfortunately. Unless they resign amid the impeachment proceedings and whoever he appoints as VP, who then becomes President take the action to get us out of Iraq.

6. He knows that he has failed at everything he has ever done and is determined
to fight this failure until it is totally and utterly impossible for anyone to recover, the Iraqis, the Americans and anyone else involved.

We are screwed!

8. a swift kick in the nutts followed by an uppercut, a right then a left
seriously though, nothing. He knows he knows we just don't know just how great he is and that is what troubles him most.

20. I think Bush would wet himself and be reduced to tears at a mild bitch slapping after being
protected by servants his whole life.

10. Other: a revolt of moderate Republicans who will support impeachment
unless he ends it.

I believe this is the most likely scenario of all, and the ONLY way he'll withdraw troops from Iraq.

it was just a scam to get corporate welfare anyway.

And the Jenna/Barb one? yeah, like that would bother Jr. He didn't even show up for an emergency appendectomy. He's the same kind of Dad his mother was. And I mean it just that way.

NOTHING will change his mind on this. He can rot in fucking hell.
