Should President Bush Be Impeached?

At issue is whether President Bush and Vice President Cheney deliberately manipulated evidence regarding Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and whether they deliberately lied to and deceived the American people and Congress in order to invade Iraq.

Of course, all this was brought to light when the White House made the decision to "out" CIA operative Valerie Plame after her husband, Ambassador Joe Wilson, publicly suggested that Bush and Cheney had lied and manipulated evidence in order to launch the Iraq invasion. To date, no one has been charged with leaking Plame's identity, but the Libby trial has clearly implicated Bush and Cheney in the whole affair. The jurors seemed convinced of that much, that is for sure.

It has been reported that George W. Bush began planning an invasion of Iraq almost immediately after being elected president in 2000, which was long before the 9/11 attacks. Furthermore, President Bush has since acknowledged that Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks and that it had no WMD capable of threatening the United States. However, he has constantly blamed "bad intelligence" for the decision to launch the preemptive invasion of Iraq.

The American people and history may forgive a leader for an erroneous decision predicated upon bad intelligence. However, neither the American people nor history will forgive a leader for deliberately manipulating evidence and lying to Congress in order to satisfy a personal bloodlust.

Therefore, Congress should immediately commission an independent counsel to investigate whether President Bush and Vice President Cheney did indeed manipulate evidence and deliberately lie to the American people. If that investigation proves that President Bush acted in good faith and with no ulterior motives, his decision to invade Iraq will go down in history as a colossal lapse in judgment. If, on the other hand, the investigation proves that he manipulated evidence and lied to the American people, his actions most definitely rise to the constitutional standard for impeachment. We need a thorough investigation to find the truth.

11. it's all about "winning" (stealing in their case) elections. They want to distant

themselves from these treasonous bastards because it's politically expedient. If we hadn't made this an issue, you can bet their would be silence on their part.

3. Its hard to believe

that a conservative source would care whether a "conservative" president manipulated intelligence and lied. Therefore I don't believe them. I hope this is part of some bizarre conservative plot to ensure that bush and cheney only get impeached.

A conservative source calling for a thorough investigation of someone who is doing what they want him to do. Incredibly rich.

6. Are Chuck Baldwin and The Conservative Voice credible?

Is this just one loner with a website, or does the Conservative Voice actually have any kind of audience?

Interesting article but it's hard to place it's importance without knowing anything about the author/blog.

7. Seems US is desensitized to impeachment....

and all (or most) here believe criminal actions have been running rampant with this administration.

I say we push for investigation into criminal activity (including treason); I believe Sen. Waxman may be in the process of doing just that.

Only CRIMINAL CHARGES will deter this type of behavior in the future. It's like with some kids: a time-out may not cut it after a while; the parents must progress to more effective consequences to for the child's actions.

Impeachment is not effective as a consequence, IMHO. Not any more...not after Nixon and Clinton...the public is desensitized to that word.

Bringing criminal charges against the administration. Now THAT will get attention. Even if charges can't stick for some reason, the simple act of investigating with the word criminal offense being said over and over again would hopefully strike fear into the thugs.
