Second Intelligence missing an "N" in title

[Thanks. I let the spelling correctors know-Sitemonitor]

Oil, contracts for Haliburton and other cronies. ...maybe they won't notice.

Nobody died when Clinton lied.

Impeach.
Indict.
Imprision.

The first and second charges of the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials were these:

Indictments

Count One: Conspiracy to Wage Aggressive War
This count helped address the crimes committed before the war began, showing a plan to commit crimes during the war.

Count Two: Waging Aggressive War, or "Crimes Against Peace"

Including “the planning, preparation, initiation, and waging of wars of aggression, which were also wars in violation of international treaties, agreements, and assurances.”

BushCo committed aggressive war.

Bush must stand trial.

Look . . . we KNOW the fuckers lied. We've known it for YEARS. We know they continue to lie. But what is the real crime here? The real crime is that the Democrats do absolutely NOTHING about it. There are just some times when people do something so bad that you have to stand up regardless of the consequences. this is one of those times and all pelosi did was crawl under the table. The Dems are worse for letting this go on and on and on and on and on. The are accessories after the fact . . . and in law that makes you just as guilty as the principle

[Deleted. Off topic-Sitemonitor]

I'll catch news about this from the unbiased PBS - McNeill/Lehrer Report where they honestly report the news

[It hasn't been 'McNeil/Lehrer' since 1995, when Robin (Robert) McNeil left the show. I guess you don't get a chance to watch that often-Sitemonitor]

Would somebody please give this man a blowjob so he can be impeached?

I'm currently reading Vincent Bugliosi's new book. His case for trying Bushco for murder and war crimes is very compelling. I shope Keith has Bugliosi as a guest soon.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise

Bush was lying during he 2000 debates.

Thank you for publishing this. The story has gone virtually unnoticed or unreported in the media. Bush is caught outright lying and it is just another day.

this makes iraq look like mass murder.

Bush was lying during he 2000 debates.

"I'm going to have a humble foreign policy"

Right!

It's good to know that, after all this divisive Clinton/Obama mishigas, we can still all get together and hate us some Bush! :)

I hope that Pat Roberts gets a challenger soon...

It's great to see this stuff coming out now. Perfect timing ... makes me very hopeful. Keep peeling back the layers of this mouldy onion and maybe we'll reach the rotten core just before people cast their ballots.

The Repubs are so bankrupt! Why on earth should anyone in their right mind vote for them. And there aren't enough CEOs to win them any elections. Frankly anyone complicit with this outrage should be forced from ever holding any office again. They they should spend the rest of their lives paying penance to the brave young men and women who lost their lives and were mutilated by their mistake and subsequent cover-up.

In 2009, Bush is going to come out with a book explaining that his presidency was an elaborate piece of conceptual art.

Old news. So many people have known this. But where do these revelations get us? Nowhere. No one in this Administration has been touched, and I doubt they ever will be.

As Frank Costanza would say, "Serenity Now!"

It's a shame that Bush couldn't have studied a little history before assuming office. Whatever happened to Teddy Roosevelt's admonition to :"Talk softly and carry a big stick". The modern Bush paradigm seems to be: "Don't talk except to lie and hit everything in sight."

Thank you, Keith Olbermann, for calling a lie a lie. It's amazing how many euphemisms the media can come up with to avoid using the word lie.

impeach, convict then its off to the world court for war crimes and [Deleted-Sitemonitor]

Imagine my shock!

I did not need any politicians to tell me that the Bush Administrations were liars. I was against the invasion in Iraq for the real reason: We had given Saddam those weapons to fight the Iranian who had replaced an American favorite The Shah.
He was a bad leader, but he was ours and had to be retained at all cost. I have seen that Reagan contact Iran before the election to make sure that they would not deal with Jimmy Carter who was the president for re-election. Any one who remembered the 80’s, Reagan’s era has good time should have their head exam. They were the worst.
The joke in Europe was; where I grow up, that South America was changing leader every year! But I learned that if they did not play ball with our policies, their leaders would be eliminated. See the book about an Economic Hit Man. (Democracy Now)
I am for all participant of the Bush administration to be indicted for war crime against humanity.

Still waiting for this story to appear on the Fox News or Drudge web sites.

Believe it or not, even at a snails pace, this begins to set the stage for impeachment. By establishing the series of offenses, including lying to congress, abuse of power, treason, etc. whether or not peloser has the nads, this process, snails pace and all, can lead to impeachment of every member of the WH involved and all complicit staff(Liibby?), Tenet, Powell, Rice, et al, and possibly members of the press who knowingly foisted these lies when there was no evidence for the stories they committed their enterprises to print and publish.
If no indictments for the press, then they should certainly be made to testify as to the lies they were told by the WH. I can see russert, judy miller, wolf blitzer and the rest at the mike, explaining to America why they LIED!

oh if they only would have called me I could have told them it was all a lie to have a war for profits. nationalism and patriotism and revenge can overwhelm the rational mind.

but Americans wanted to kick some butts Muslim butts any Muslim behind for 9/11.

now they pay the price for their desire for their Texas style shoot them first bully mentality but yet they blame their politicians rather than look into a mirror.

America the super power is about to get its ass kicked again like it did in Vietnam. if a country does not learn its lesson the first time karma brings the opportunity to learn right back to ya.

Americans did not ask for forgiveness for the one million Vietnamese they killed in that illegal war so they continue to suffer with treasure and deaths and inner chaos from this latest illegal war.

but hey life is easy kind of if you live in denial. wake up Americans you need to change more than just your politicians.

once you Americans understand that you are a country of wars for profits maybe just maybe you will move beyond blame and accept responsibility for your war mongering and the tremendous suffering you have caused in the world.

it will happen like it did in germany and japan karma demands it.

I think it's time to oust 'em all. The '06 lot of democrats for the most part are all horseshit pussies.
Nancy and Harry are worthless! Screw holding their feet to the fire, I say grab em by the ankle and toss em into the fire!
Impaeach em all and hold them accountable down to the last fucking enabler!
Maybe it's time for the electorate to raise some hell and purge these fuckers in order to send a message to the future leaders.
You were elected to serve the public and defend the constitution. Now do your fucking job.
IMPEACH!!!

tr @ 24:

this makes iraq look like mass murder.

It does look that way. If your wife or daughter or son or mother, was killed by "shock and awe" how would you feel? But it's nothing personal. They just want your oil.

John @ 11:

Unbelieveable that these criminals will get off scott free and that there will be NO accountability , if this was any other country but the high and mighty USA Bush and company would be facing execution and rightly so .

Extremely well said. I would also add that what Congress and the Democrats have also ignored are the Downing Street Minutes, which revealed that the U.S. was hell bent on going to war against Iraq in the summer of 2002. That alone should have been grounds for impeachment but still Congress and the Democrats failed to act. It is now wonder that people, turned off by the ineptness of the Democrats, are turning to a third party in 2008.

I wish we could impeach them all. But it is up the all of us to get rit of all old repugs in congress, to tell them that they will not again be able to get new law made by the Pharma, energy CO!
Lets get all republicans out

calgarylady @ 30:

It's great to see this stuff coming out now. Perfect timing ... makes me very hopeful. Keep peeling back the layers of this mouldy onion and maybe we'll reach the rotten core just before people cast their ballots.

Which is probably one of the real reasons Pelosi uttered her famous words about taking impeachment off the table. Keep Bush in office and then begin to pull all of this out as we get closer to the 2008 elections. All of this will pile up and it will be hard for all except the most fervent 25%'ers to ignore.

I disagree with Ms. Pelosi though because the only way this country can begin to function again is if these criminals are either impeached or put to trial. There is no way they can get away with all they've done and just walk away with all the loot. Hell there are people sitting in jail that have done just 1% of what these people have done and Bush and his gang just walk away with only a tarnished legacy? Hundreds of millions of dollars and just a tarnished legacy, if it weren't for the millions dead I'd say sign me up but then again I have a consious and at least one honest bone in my body.

With all that is now confirmed (we all knew it before, confirmed is another thing altogether) impeachment isn't enough. A lot of people need to go to prison and for a very long time.

One last thing, it's time we stop saying that BushCo didn't tell the truth especially you Senator Rockefeller. Bush LIED and it needs to be said. LIED gives a much stronger jolt to the brain and if we begin to use we might actually begin to get through to people. The president of this country LIED to take us to war. A war that has cost up billions of dollars, over 4000 military lives, 10's of thousand military members who are physically and mentally crippled, and millions of Iraqi's dead and misplaced. This country has committed genocide on a country over LIES told by its president and senior government officials.

Yes, George Bush is a LIER and it needs to be said loudly and repeated as often as necessary until everyone understands it. It needs to be repeated and it needs to be linked as often as possible to John McCain so he can quietly in to the night with nary a whimper.

lipstickhottie @ 57:

To the poster directly above me....I have thought about this often. I can't help but wonder if the whole "impeach Bill" wasn't just an attemp to trivialize and "dirty up" the impeachment process. This made the general populace very hesitant to call for impeachmentit and congress scared shitless to implement it. After all, certainly they already knew the dirt on Bill, they began investigating him the moment he entered the race if not before. So, maybe they knew there was nothing there, but they weakened impeachment as a process. Maybe THAT was the real goal.

OK tinfoil hat off, maybe.......

You know I used to rarely put any stock in conspiracy theories until this gang came to power. After what they've pulled I put nothing past them either in the past, the present, or the future. I won't be one bit surprised if they attack Iran or create some kind of problem that they have to inact martial law and suspend the elections. If you would say I would think this even just a year ago I would have said you were crazy but not anymore.

I don't trust any of them as far as I could throw them so pass me a tinfoil hat as well. It's going to be a long 6 months until they're hopefully gone.

Someone usually comes along right about now to remind us of this:

The House of Representatives votes to impeach, and the Senate holds the trial. Conviction requires a 2/3 majority, which the Dems don't have. Imagine the fun we'd have if we actually got around to the discovery phase, and the Senate called witnesses, and all manner of lies and indiscretions came to light. Everything--the stolen elections, the media complicity, the no-bid contracts--it was all exposed on C-Span, and the nightly news. "Good God!" we'd scream, "These people are criminals!"

Then they'd vote, and fall short of the 2/3 majority. And the media would say "They must be innocent, if they were found not guilty..."

I say it's much more effective (for the time being) to vote the scoundrels out. We'll get it sorted out eventually, and maybe we'll even see Bush stand trial at the Hague.

Tommy,
We could have been conducting hearings for over a year now. The Republicans are running scared. The Senate picture could look very different now if the Bush criminals hadn't been protected by their Democratic collaborators. Judging from your phrasing (and you're right, it was about time someone mentioned this), I think we agree.

Where I disagree is that "voting them out and then worrying about it later" is a workable solution. I've predicted blanket pardons on Bushes way out, and they seem ever more likely. Of course, all the pardons will be given in the name freedom and protecting the "patriots" from frivolous litigation.

yes...we could have been conducting hearings. We could have begun in Jan. '07. But we'd never have gotten a 2/3 majority, and still won't. It's quite likely that Bush and his cronies will never stand trial--in America.

But it's not out of the realm of possibility that we'd turn on the nightly news someday to see Bush de-plane in a foreign country, only to be surrounded by the local militia, and carted off to prison.

And it would be our turn to say "so?"

So, in that case, does the Secret Service turn into an honor guard? Do they surround Bush as he breaks big rocks into little rocks for fifteen years? Well, we can hope.

I never thought I'd even think that of a U.S. president. We've fallen very far.

Pelosi needs to be impeached so Americans can get on with making justice on the war criminals.

i'm with you more than you know........but let's get a democrat in office and watch for more confessions to come out

My instincts tell me there will be no accountability. Whatever the reasons--threats, blackmail, deals, double deals, who knows. Pelosi's stand is the clue. This country is doomed.

Tommy Hussein @ 79:

The Republicans were able to impeach Clinton in the House of Representatives because they had the votes, regardless of the public opinion polls. They fell short of convicting in the Senate, because they didn't have the votes--barely.

The Republicans would never vote to convict Bush of anything, ever. Impeachment would ultimately fail, and then we'd be really pissed and indignant. Yes, even more so than we are now.

Bush will get his due. Karma is a bitch, and revenge is a dish that's best served cold...

Bush has never received his due. From academic failure at Yale then Harvard, to Arbusto, to the Texas Rangers, to the Governor of Texas, to the Presidency, Bush's life has been one prestigious appointment after another, failing miserably at each one.

Karma may be a bitch, but it may also be a myth. Revenge is certainly best served cold, but I want justice - and justice delayed is justice denied.

By waiting until election season, the Dems have opened themselves up to accusations of election year posturing. Why wasn't this done immediately after the 2006 elections? We know why -- because they see this as a way to damage the Republican party, rather than fact-finding.

BushCo belongs behind bars -- yet Rockefeller said he was not supporting criminal investigations. Why? Oh, because there is too much else to do in the Senate, and such an investigation would take up too much of their schedule. SO F'N WHAT?! 4000 of our finest young men and women are dead. Perhaps as many as a million Iraqis are dead. If Bush is criminally culpable, then who the hell cares about other legislative business? This is far more important than ANYTHING else they have on their slate.

Casus B-Lie...

again thank goodness for keith olberman being in a position to
put this truth so succinctly in a nationally broadcasted manner.
fuck bush and mccain to hell, eternally.

David N @ 25:

wasnt Ron Paul the lone voice that voted against the war , just saying .

156 congressmen and 23 senators voted against the war, but thanks for playing.

I think he means of those republicunts running for president?

Richard Clark said on the same broadcast that the Bush Administration should at least apologize for their lies. There lies led to the deaths of many thousands of innocent victims. They have rigged elections, allowed big business to rape the environment, and steal millions of peoples pensions. They have re-ignited the nuclear arms race, violated the Geneva Convention, tortured and killed people without trial. The list is endless. Somehow a simple "My Bad" is not going to cut it.

The news media is already working to get the Bush Administration off. The biggest mistake the American people made in the last 50 years was let Richard Nixon off for what he did. Our government has gotten more corrupt with each passing administration. Bush and most of his cronies belong in prison. They belong in prison for the rest of there lives for the crimes they have committed while they have been in power.

What is so funny is that this just makes the Dumbocrats look even dumber for keeping Impeachment off the table.

Senator John D. Rockefeller

(Democrat, West Virginia) Senate Intelligence Committee
October 10, 2002
Addressing the US Senate

"The global community -- in the form of the United Nations -- has declared repeatedly, through multiple resolutions, that the frightening prospect of a nuclear-armed Saddam cannot come to pass. But the U.N. has been unable to enforce those resolutions. We must eliminate that threat now, before it is too late.

But this isn't just a future threat. Saddam's existing biological and chemical weapons capabilities pose a very real threat to America, now. Saddam has used chemical weapons before, both against Iraq's enemies and against his own people. He is working to develop delivery systems like missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles that could bring these deadly weapons against U.S. forces and U.S. facilities in the Middle East.

letter to Rockefeller:
Incredible.
NOT for the report...the 'incredible' is because it has taken six years for congress to even get the 'report'...which, of course, the Republicans and administration are denouncing as 'partisan' and 'selective' in nature.
For all the collective sheepskins of yours in Congress - you people (for the majority) have shown
NO COMMON SENSE
not to mention, WE who have been fighting you about this administration are still villified as 'conspiracy theorists'.
your.government.LIED. Period.
Meanwhile, people still die.
And just WHAT are you in congress going to do...other than make sure george gets to build a wall larger than the Vietnam Memorial to show his daddy what a 'man' he is.
Pathetic.
beyond pathetic.

Wait 'til the other tin-foil hat conspiracy theory is finally demonstrated to be the truth.

Of course, none of this matters since Nancy Pelosi has got Bushco's back covered six ways to Sunday. Since she is intractably determined to remain derelict in her duty to the Constitution and the American People, all this evidence needs to be forwarded to the International Criminal Court at The Hague for use in eventual war crimes tribunals. If one of Bush's very first acts when coming into office was dropping out of the court, one of Obama's first acts can be dropping back in.

At this point it is willful denial of reality if you believe Bush/Cheney etc didn't lie about this from the start. I wonder who the 27% are that still give Bush favorable ratings? I mean, really. Haven't you wondered? Are these the same kind of people, psychologically of course (authoritarian followers), who would have been down in the bunker in Berlin in 1945?

Memo to House of Representatives:

Impeach with impunity!
Impeach before it's too late!

Wanna play HARDBALL?
Schedule impeachments hearings to start in October (Teach KKKarl Rove what "October Surprise" could really mean.)

I've contacted my legislators, have you? I am calling Senator Norm Coleman, Senator Amy Klobuchar, and Rep Keith Ellison hourly today. Please join me in calling your senators and representatives. Demand that these crimes be prosecuted.

We have known this for years-Time and time again, liberals have been proven correct about Bush, his lies, and crimes of this administration.

Of course, do Republicans admit they were wrong about the war? hell no- they now blame the war on the Democrats-and as the dems have been guilty of appeaing bush's crimes, they are partially correct

If push came to shove, my prediction is that he pardons Cheney, then resigns so that Cheney can pardon him.

Let's start with a massive protest of citizens descending on the capital all of them chanting one word; "IMPEACH!"

I'm pretty sure that if they file impeachment articles against the two the day after the election and keep them active through Obama's eventual inauguration, they would be unable to issue those pardons; short of some unexplained well-timed national emergency.

They didn't just lie. They are guilty of committing treason. So stop with the 'they lied" shit. They should be arrested and tried. If found guilty, hung or shot, we can decide that by a simple show of hands by the jury.

(Sigh)..... Yea yea yea... But the old reliable chorus is already cranking up the refrain.. Nothing impeachable here, no reason to set any tables.... Move along now folks.... The fallback rationale? We're tooooo busy already, this would take up tooooo much time... FUCKALL!!! Gutless, every damned one of them repub and dem... They ALL seem to have enough time to spend giving themselves raises and other perks and they find all the time in the world to send people to die over these lies and deceits but somehow can't carve any time out to make the assholes responsible, held accountable for their CRIMES against the people of America, Iraq and the constitution...

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
-- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status.

-- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program.

And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."

These common thugs and their accomplices must be prosecuted....................

Our nation was not only robbed of Billions of Dollars to pay for an illegal WAR perpetuated by these Criminals. It robbed AMERICA blind while they beat the drum of FEAR MONGERING.

Now we learned that they have robbed millions of innocent lives out of GREED.

WE are all being swindled. Rich, poor, black, white, young, old. Economic impact is no longer an isolated incident. The impact is widely felt all over the WORLD.

Millions of innocent people lives has been "obliverated" like a worthless piece of greenback paper.

For what? OIL?

This is insanity and EVIL at an unprecedented proportion.

We have placed these individuals at a pedastal and paid them handsomely; to protect our NATION and our WORLD and promote PEACE.....NOT to used it at their disposal.

WE KNOW NOW .......... that this administration is GUILTY. We know now the CRIMINALS who has high-jacked and kept our government in hostage.

BUT WE ALSO KNOW...........WHO IS ALLOWING these THUGS get away with MURDER....

Nancy Pelosi; Harry Reid; and John Conyers BETTER take NOTE that they TOO ARE NOW being seen as ACCOMPLICE.

When AMERICA DETERMINES that our government is in COUP DE TA........

The AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL AND ALWAYS WILL BE ULTIMATELY THE JUDGE and JURY. AMERICA who are the EMPLOYERS WILL terminate public servants who defy their DUTY.

AMERICA WILL REACH ITS VERDICT sooner than later.

It is foolish for Pelosi; Reid and Conyers to think that they can defy the U.S. Constitution. This is your CONTRACT with the PEOPLE. That CONTRACT HAS BEEN BREACHED..........big time.

And Billo still thinks the discredited Nigerian yellow cake story was real...

What about these guys: should they be prosecuted?

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years .. We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
--Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
--Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by:
-- Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9, 1998

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
-Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
-- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."
Letter to President Bush, Signed by:
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them."
-- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
-- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do"
-- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
-- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

Possibly, if it can be proven they purposefully lied to advance the cause for the Iraq War. Especially that Jay Rockefeller bastard............

Republican dude, you think it's all about party. Most liberals like myself look to country first, party is waaaaay down the list. If someone breaks a law, then justice should prevail. Justice hasn't even come close to prevailing with the Bushco administration and their sychophantic buddies in Congress, Dem and Repuke alike.

Scruzman@130;

IF they knowingly made those statements realizing it was all bullshit... Well, then, yea... IF they made those statements in good faith because they were being fed neocon propaganda and they just fell for it... Then, I'm thinkin, not so much impeachment for them as much as just being voted out of office for being terminally stupid, 'led by the nose' morons.... Either way I'm sick of hearing about how 'we all thought' and 'nobody could have ever expected or predicted blah blah blah... FUCK 'we all thought' and 'noone would ever have' bullshit etc.... What they 'all thought' or 'didn't think' was fucking WRONG!!! Being a clueless dope is not necessarily criminal... Going along with the charade after realizing what it is, and purpituating the crime and continued enabling of the criminals behind the crime... Well, that's a wholly different matter. Crimes! Treason and crimes against the world, the nation and the constitution should have the most serious of repurcussions for the perps.. ALL the perps and accomplices... The way this shit is playing out right now, you and I would face a grimmer future for smoking a goddamned joint then these assholes appear to face for fucking over 2 nations, those nations economies and its' people over oil... I can't begin to express just how twisted and fucked up that really is......JD

Maybe they all should have read the intelligence reports. The point is that the public is being duped on a daily basis by Repubs and Demo's alike. The perfect storm of forces that prevail on this country, and threaten to devestate it, are being ignored precisely because our politicians put party before the country. WTFU!

...and forget about impeaching Bush - total waste of keystrokes in an election year.

Its not the first unprovoked war, there was Vietnam. The Gulf or Tonkin incident was FAKE.

Its been awhile, but anyways I shouldn't have said not so long ago.

People need to realize what we live in, its a dictatorship and we all know the real story but some of us want to ignore certain parts because it doesn't make them comfortable. This political system is a joke both Dem and Repub when they bow to the same people and do the same thing. We all knew guys like Kucinich, Gravel and yes Ron Paul were the right guys for the job and we turned away. We could have had real people who cared in there but instead we have puppets and actors. Mostly criminals.

God help us all, maybe people will wake up by 2012 when everything will be worst.
