KUCINICH Has A Busy Agenda: IMPEACHMENT: "If Bush attacks Iran, all bets are off'
Edited on Mon Jan-15-07 11:56 AM by Karenca
Bloggers pressed Kucinich about the impeachment issue. While agreeing that the administration should ultimately be held accountable under international law, Kucinich opposed immediate impeachment proceedings. "We must keep the focus on our troops, Kucinich said. "The minute impeachment is on the table, this President will accelerate the war even more."

But he added, "if Bush attacks Iran, all bets are off." Later he added, "We need to safeguard our Constitution." If the President takes steps towards another war, Kucinich warned, Congress could make "an active effort" toward impeachment.

"The President is clearly trying to provoke Iran," he said, adding that the Bush administration is "treading on the thinnest ice it has ever been on."
Last week, in a press release sent out after Bush's speech on his "new strategy," Kucinich said that Congress should not "follow the President's path of war."

1. i was always for impeachment----
and then I softened my opinion temporarily
after thinking the Dems would inflict hell upon the administration with all the
hearings/subpoenas.

But now, how could we possibly NOT impeach these bastards????

4. I've Been of the Opinion that Impeachment Now Would be Counterproductive
BUT...if Bush invades Iran without the consent of Congress, OR is caught in lies similar to the justification for the Iraq War -- IMPEACH IMMEDIATELY!

But, I can't fathom how this can
go on any longer. It gets worse all the time,
and who knows what his next plans are.
He is certifiably insane.

9. actually, "certifiably insane" is ground for removal from office

I believe he can be declared incapacitated in that event . . .

just a thought.

6. Bush must attack Iran to complete the deal with ideologs/neocons >
Bush stated a few months back that he is the only president (Repug or Dem) that would have the nerve to attack Iran while still at war in Afgan and Iraq.

8. I agree. Illegal incursion into Iran equals grounds for impeachment.
Same should have been done to Nixon when he invaded Cambodia.
