Bush Makes Iraq the Vital Reason for His Impeachment and Removal
by Harvey Wasserman

George W. Bush has clarified the most vital reason why he must be impeached and removed from office as soon as possible: the slaughter in Iraq, and his clear statement that it will not end while he is in the White House.

Bush has made his departure the light at the end of the tunnel.

If he stays, more killing is inevitable. If he goes, a quicker end to the war is not certain, but it is more likely. Nobody expects Dick Cheney to pull out of Iraq if he succeeds Bush. But a successful impeachment and removal will reshape all American politics, and open up the possibilities.

...................

By pledging to prolong the slaughter, Bush endangers both our troops and our national security.

The war is destroying the American army. It recruits and trains hordes of anti-American terrorists. It is dividing and bankrupting our nation.

Impeachment and removal have become vitally necessary to preserve whatever defenses the US has left against international terrorism.

1. That's a good argument on the practical side

But impeachment is a legal proceeding as well. It's problemattic - I suspect that if he is impeached it will be a bit like going after Al Capone on Tax Fraud; better than nothing, but kind of ducks the main issue.

2. Bush supporters thought victory had been obtained

They're kind of confused now
