Impeach BushJan 18th, 2007 - 03:36:13

There would be many more options open if Bush weren't so utterly incompetent. On the other hand, if he had any sense, we wouldn't be there in the first place.

There was general concern at the outset that ousting Saddam could usher in civil war with Iran as the big winner since both the majority of Iraqis and Iranians are Shiites.

Our only hope for getting out of this is to impeach Bush and Cheney and bring in somebody who is less corrupt and a lot more competent.

More meaningless bells and whistles from Congress. How many of these guys are running for President? This all has less to do with what is the right thing to do than crass political opportunism. If these people really have the balls to do something to rein in the President, then they need to bring him up on articles of impeachment, convict him and remove him from office. Since trying, rightly or wrongly, to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States is not an impeachable offense that would be silly so we get all this grandstanding and showboating. Bush and his lackeys have made a royal mess of things and seem just as intent as their opponents to play politics with it all. I am thoroughly disgusted with them all - President, Congress, Democrats, Republicans. Is this why good people are fighting and dying all over the world? To defend this corrupt, out of touch gaggle of mediocrities?

shouldn't be in Iraq in the first place; bush's first mistake. This mistake has snowballed and compounded itself, (with bush's help of course) into what it is today. One cane only imagine the lives saved and resources not spent if bush weren't given Cart Blanche with the United States Treasury.

To SP4,

They said we needed more troops early on, when things hadn't yet devolved into the much more complicated, disintigrating mess it is now.

That was a totally different situation than what exists today.

Using your 'standard' how bout this ... Just last November (less than 2 months ago) Bush said more troops 'would destabilize Iraq'. Now he's flip flopped on that.

Tell me ... Was he wrong then, or wrong now?
