Ralph and Kev Want Bush and Cheney Impeached
Edited for the conclusionSnip... The National Intelligence Estimate issued in October 2002 said ''We have no specific intelligence information that Saddam's regime has directed attacks against US territory." Guess firing on military aircraft doesn't count. Ralph is probably even more unhappy no Americans were killed by Saddam's ADA, but he won't discuss his true feelings in public... The UN, IAEA, the State and Energy departments, the Air Force's National Air and Space Intelligence Center, US inspectors, and even the CIA concluded there was no basis for the Bush-Cheney public assertions. Yet, President Bush told the public in September 2002 that Iraq ''could launch a biological or chemical attack in as little as 45 minutes after the order is given." And, just before the invasion, President Bush said: ''Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof -- the smoking gun -- that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud." Bush was using in his speech the same rhetorical games the press routinely uses when it wants to push an agenda. No sale, here, anyway. The pot calling the kettle black in this case. The president and vice president have artfully dodged the central question: ''Did the administration mislead us into war by manipulating and misstating intelligence concerning weapons of mass destruction and alleged ties to Al Qaeda, suppressing contrary intelligence, and deliberately exaggerating the danger a contained, weakened Iraq posed to the United States and its neighbors?" Am I the only one who senses a sense of sorrow that more innocents weren't murdered by Saddam? If this is answered affirmatively Bush and Cheney have committed ''high crimes and misdemeanors." It is time for Congress to investigate the illegal Iraq war as we move toward the third year of the endless quagmire that many security experts believe jeopardizes US safety by recruiting and training more terrorists. A Resolution of Impeachment would be a first step. Based on the mountains of fabrications, deceptions, and lies, it is time to debate the ''I" word. Let's debate the 'W' word instead. As in welched, which is what Saddam did in the 1991 ceasefire agreement starting in 1991. You are a sad little leftist and a caricature of the political type who would rather sit and wait for another attack. Posted by: badanov 2005-05-31 |
