Mothers of Slain Soldiers, Others, Demand Bush's Impeachment

I really wish the articles we have read would include these words:

Mothers -Slain Soldiers, Impeachment
Fact is--the articles themselves seldem even mention the testimony of Cindy S. or the troops we have lost--even though there was a focus on this in the hearing.

> Mothers of American soldiers of killed in President George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq joined with a constitutional lawyer before Congress Thursday to demand impeachment of the President for lying to force America into war.
>
> Constitutional lawyer John Bonifaz told a Congressional hearing sufficient grounds exist to impeach the President for lying to Congress about the justification for the war.
>
> "The United States House of Representatives has a constitutional duty to investigate fully and comprehensively the evidence revealed by the Downing Street memo and other related evidence, and to determine whether there are sufficient grounds to impeach George W. Bush, the President of the United States," Bonifaz said.
>
> The explosive Downing Street memo, named for the Downing Street residence of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, shows Bush was determined to proceed with war in 2002, eight months before the war began, and played fast and loose with intelligence to boost the case before the country and the United Nations. The memo was written by a top British intelligence officer in 2002 and leaked to the British press recently. The memo has been widely reported in the British press but has been largely ignored by mainstream American media.

1. My heart breaks for all the mothers

See www.icasualties.org Bush is simply too disconnected and elitist to care or understand. War is something "the little people do", not his ilk.

3. I don't remember him saying this-
"Constitutional lawyer John Bonifaz told a Congressional hearing sufficient grounds exist to impeach the President for lying to Congress about the justification for the war."

What I remember is him saying their were sufficient grounds to investigate whether he lied or did not lie. If he lied, then it could go to the senate. If he did not, then the country would know.

Every time I go to, or watch a meeting, and then read about it, I feel that I was at a different meeting from the paper.
