20. Pelosi cant do that
because she knows that if she does the Bush/Cheney crime family will release information showing her many other democrats contribution to the crimes they are accused of. Shes in it up to her eyeballs...the lies to the Iraq invasion...torture...wiretapping. She knows if she moves on them they will move on her and other democrats which will cost them the election. Thats why impeachment is off the table. So Nancy spare me the pathetic line that you dont wanna divide the nation. Do your job...help us learn the truth. Or are you afraid of the truth??

4. That is good news.
Is it on any other media outlets? I am going to search around and see if I can find it anywhere. It is an AP story, but how many media outlets will actually show it?

5. So when can we throw the bastards out of office?
Seriously, is our society so falsely puritanical and afraid of sex that someone must have an affair in office to be impeached? :eyes:

6. I'll be impressed when Colin Powell's call for a Congressional investigation happens...
This is what Democrats were supposed to do first... in 2007.

7. And Colin Powell gets the silver medal
in the "lies to start a war" event, beating out in an unexpected upset the #2 seeded "Dick "The Snarler" Cheney.

14. America is weary of endless republicon lies
The real tragedy is the death and maiming of so many of our sons and daughters in uniform, and so many Iraq men, women, and children.

Not to mention that the republicons used these lies to bankrupt America, and enrich their fatcat homelander war-profiteering cronies.

16. link to NPR - Study: False statements preceded war
Edited on Wed Jan-23-08 08:07 AM by DemReadingDU
1/23/08 Group: 'Orchestrated Deception' by Bush on Iraq
President Bush and top administration officials made more than 900 false statements in the two years following Sept. 11, 2001, about the national security threat posed by Iraq under Saddam Hussein, according to a new report by a public interest group.

The statements by Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, then National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other officials "were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses," the Center for Public Integrity says in the report.

Steve Inskeep talks with Charles Lewis, founder of the center, about the report, called "The War Card: Orchestrated Deception on the Path to War." The report includes an online database that allows readers to search by phrase, person and subject.

Lewis is currently president of The Fund for Independence in Journalism.

Bush has acknowledged that the prewar intelligence about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction turned out to be wrong, but says that the United States was nonetheless right to remove Saddam from power.

and here is the report
False Pretenses
Following 9/11, President Bush and seven top officials of his administration waged a carefully orchestrated campaign of misinformation about the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
By Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith

23. Check this out about that site:
Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith of the research center say their work has documented “at least 935 false statements” on hundreds of occasions, particularly that Iraq had unconventional weapons, links to Al Qaeda, or both.


http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/23/washington/23database.html

Makes one wonder if BushCo ever told one truth about Iraq or Saddam. Seems like the answer to that question is a resounding NO!

25. False statements is just a polite way of saying he lied.
Clinton lied (about a BJ) and was impeached. Bush lies about a war and we do nothing. What's wrong with this picture......
