time to impeach the president?
i don't post political stuff all that often, but i have just finished listening to fresh air and i'm extremely concerned. please check out this NPR story for details.
it is an interview with a pulitzer prize winning journalist who has written a new book called the way of the world detailing how the executive branch of our government has used the CIA to run a mis-information campaign against the american people in order to get us to back war in iraq on false premises. the long and the short? they new that there were no weapons of mass destruction before we went to iraq and deliberately deceived the american people. this is an impeachable offense, and there is a law SPECIFICALLY against the CIA running misinformation against the american people. the journalist has recordings to back up the claims of his books.
i have to admit, i have believed this all along, and been against the war all along, so this doesn't come as a big surprise to me or to many of you. what concerns me is that maybe we have become blase about the whole thing. how will bush/cheney ever be brought to justice if there is no public momentum for impeachment? dennis kucinich has brought up impeaching the president several times and the proposal keeps being cast aside. i am going to write letters to my representative. if any of you care about this issue and feel the same way, i hope you will as well.

no subject
what really sickens me is that they were trying to impeach clinton over something that was honestly IMO really trivial, and yet Bush/Cheney are getting away with killing massive amounts of people with no consequences. disgusting.
no subject
but it is the BASIS for a real reason to impeach bush.
that and war crimes for holding non-combatants as though they don't have rights under the geneva convention (which in my opinion is at least as bad).
i agree. the republicans were looking for excuses to impeach clinton. bush has EARNED it.
