Should President Bush Be Impeached?

Of course, all this was brought to light when the White House made the decision to "out" CIA operative Valerie Plame after her husband, Ambassador Joe Wilson, publicly suggested that Bush and Cheney had lied and manipulated evidence in order to launch the Iraq invasion. To date, no one has been charged with leaking Plame's identity, but the Libby trial has clearly implicated Bush and Cheney in the whole affair. The jurors seemed convinced of that much, that is for sure.

It has been reported that George W. Bush began planning an invasion of Iraq almost immediately after being elected president in 2000, which was long before the 9/11 attacks. Furthermore, President Bush has since acknowledged that Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks and that it had no WMD capable of threatening the United States. However, he has constantly blamed "bad intelligence" for the decision to launch the preemptive invasion of Iraq.

The American people and history may forgive a leader for an erroneous decision predicated upon bad intelligence. However, neither the American people nor history will forgive a leader for deliberately manipulating evidence and lying to Congress in order to satisfy a personal bloodlust.

Therefore, Congress should immediately commission an independent counsel to investigate whether President Bush and Vice President Cheney did indeed manipulate evidence and deliberately lie to the American people. If that investigation proves that President Bush acted in good faith and with no ulterior motives, his decision to invade Iraq will go down in history as a colossal lapse in judgment. If, on the other hand, the investigation proves that he manipulated evidence and lied to the American people, his actions most definitely rise to the constitutional standard for impeachment. We need a thorough investigation to find the truth.

to stand by my side and will tell him, WELCOME!

The what the fuck took you so long I will keep it to myself

The fact he's willing to join me is enough for me, for the moment

I just looked at your webpage, and I have to tell you something. I grew up in Palo Alto. My sister saw the Beatles at the Cabana hotel when they first arrived in this country. I mean, it had to be a room with 50 seats. They all got a shred of their bed sheets. I was only about 8, so didn't get to go. But enough of that stuff. Carry on!

If you look at Baldwin's wiki page, you'll see he's a minister. And he ran for VP in 2004, on a pretty conservative platform.

This gives me a lot of encouragement. Logical people are among us. And logic says things need repairing, fast.

How this took so long is beyond me. I thought most Americans saw through Fox, but evidently they don't, or weren't paying attention. I think it's the latter. Everyone is busy driving their new Lexus. Well, it's about time damnit. Wake up, it's time for impeachment.

Essentially, this guy is saying that he doesn't know whether or not Bush committed crimes or manipulated intel, but if he did, and if it can be proven that he did, then he should be impeached.

Honestly, I think its just a chance by a conservative to cash in on the Bush-bashing bandwagon (that is ok now that Conservatives are doing it, but was treasonous when it was just liberals who know Bush was a lying fuckhead).

And the best part is, he gets to remain neutral. "Well, if he committed crimes, and you can prove it, then yeah". But he still wants to give benefit of doubt unless hard evidence can be found.

It sounds reasonable, but consider that this author is probably very well aware that such evidence will never be found, and such claims can never be proven. After all, the White House has made it pretty clear that it will not, and does not have to, cooperate with investigators.

after Congressional investigations reveal at least some of the criminal wrongdoings of Team Bush, a smart Republican presidential candidate might run on the fact that they are calling for Bush to be impeached.

And, the few Republics in Congress with principles might think it the best way to save the Republican party from minority status for the next generation...

VERY interesting... there are open minds among that crowd.. unlike the swamp that is FR.

I refuse this hand-wringing, hysteria. "We were tricked!" Like hell we were. These so-called convervatives handed the power to the blowmonkey thinking cheney would run things. They should have known better than to put a child in as a puppet. The child decided he's the decider and guess what?

He's not a conservative or a librul. He's an embarassment!

They gave him the power. This bewilderment is total BS.

The conservatives are just greedy pirates, throwing a bad captain overboard.
