"Democrats talk Impeachment"

[orleans]

"Conyers, a 41-year veteran of Congress, said those notes from the British Cabinet meeting mean that more than 1,700 U.S. troops and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis "have lost their lives for a lie."

Conyers and a half-dozen other members of Congress were stopped at the White House gate later Thursday when they hand-delivered petitions signed by 560,000 Americans who want Bush to provide a detailed response to the Downing Street memo. When Conyers couldn't get in, an anti-war demonstrator shouted, "Send Bush out!" White House aides later retrieved the petitions at the gate and took them into the West Wing.

"The fact that our intelligence turned out to be flawed in no way absolves those who would intentionally mislead our nation or its allies," said Conyers, a veteran of the Korean War.

White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said Bush had no plans to respond to the letter."

He's got to GO!

[TwentyFive]

2. Who will be in Independent Prosecutor?

We need a tough and motivated Independent Prosecutor to bring this Bush Terrorist Cell to justice.

Any ideas on who it should be?

3. There you are

WH press sec say .... no plans to respond

Keep lid on for 1 month and it all blow away.

Me think that Democrats elected representative should just all get a petition out and get signatures from the people to impeach that chimp Period.

4. Bush, Chaney, and Frist must go! n/t

[jamesinca]

5. Impeachment, war crimes, cover-up...

I think a lot of things need to be said. The intelligence was flawed because of John Bolton IMHO. He was there to make sure the fix was in.

[longship]

7. Archibald Cox would have been good, too.

But he died on May 29, 2004.

"The Saturday Night Massacre"
Cox was fired on October 20, 1973 by Robert Bork, then Solicitor General of the United States, acting in the position of Attorney General since AG Elliot Richardson had resigned and Assistant AG William Ruckelshaus was fired rather than dismiss Cox.

Nixon never recovered. A little over nine months later, he was gone.

Here's Archibald Cox. Boy, we need somebody like him now.


On edit: fix spelling errors.

8. "Send Bush Out!"

:rofl:

Wonder if that was anyone WE know?

[Lucky Luciano]

9. DUPE! D'OH!

[Lucky Luciano]

10. Imagine if all of the Congressmen

that signed up with John grouped together to protest outside the White House until the DSM issue was properly addressed.

[orleans]

11. they'd still be camping outside the gate tonight!

they'd have runners to starbucks and domino's pizza, little tents, maybe some cardboard boxes, and even a few cots and portable shower stalls.

i can just see it now.

and chances are they'd be there for the next six months.

we've got to decide on our next move now.

[Lucky Luciano]

12. Ya gotta admit though....

There is no way that even the CCM (Corporate Controlled Media) could ignore that.

"I am standing otuside the White House in day 7 of the protest by 120 members of Congress. They are asking President b*sh to address the DSM and they say they are not leaving until their demands are met...blah blah blah....Back to you Jim."
- Some Reporter for the CCM...

Ignoring such a thing would be far too over the top.

You would have the NY Post spewing their vile trash on the front page about their whining...but at least it would give mroe exposure to the DSM.

I think ti would work.

[w13rd0]

13. On Day 9...

...Bush calls in the National Guard, but wait, he can't, they are all deployed in the pre-emptive war he was dead set on starting, even going to far as to lie to us, the Congress, and the UN. So he calls on Tom Delay to bring in the thugs that stormed Florida in 2000. And his biggest contributors send in their "private security forces". I don't know, maybe if they had backup, they'd be willing to do it.

Hell, they did it with Milosevic, and now that bastard is on trial. What would it take?

[Lucky Luciano]

20. Sounds like the Roman Proscriptions in your scenario...

almost....


http://www.sparknotes.com/history/european/rome3/section1.html

"........This lex Titia has been called the definitive end of the Roman Republic. The triumvirs then launched the proscriptions against the anti-Faction camp. 300 senators and 2,000 equites were massacred judicially, including Cicero. Their properties were confiscated, to pay off soldiers and factio supporters.
The next challenge for the Second Triumvirate were Cassius and Brutus. By 43, the two had taken over all of Asia Minor as well as other Eastern provinces, and had gotten the allegiances of lesser potentates, such as Cleopatra and were moving into Macedonia. Antony and Octavian combined forces and met their opponents at Philippi. In the first battle, Octavian was initially bested by Brutus, but Antony's troop defeated Cassius, who then committed suicide. Two weeks later, the factio ended all hopes of the conspirators, by defeating Brutus, who took his own life as well................"

19. good point--the "media" really couldn't ignore it then

[cleveramerican]

14. We should be searching for corroboration

The DSM alone ain't going to do it. Where are the US memo's that state similar sentiments? Its an important piece of the puzzle to be sure,but alone its too easily refuted.

[TomClash]

16. There will be no impeachment of Bush

The only way he is leaving is if the military gets fed up with the Iraq War and takes him out.

[Disturbed]

17. " The DSM alone ain't going to do it."

True. More documents are needed. They may surface. There are some in the Pentagon and CIA that aren't pleased by the Bush Regime.

[tsuki]

18. Oh, ho. They are moving from "so called" Downing Street Memo

to "dubbed" Downing Street Memo. That's a plus.
