Impeach Dubyah?

Last night I saw an internet rumor that Illinois and California legislatures were voting to impeach the president. I've been checking CNN and NPR all day expecting to hear about it but I guess it's just a rumor.

I was afraid they'd really do it. Because, without a doubt, the weak kneed democrats wouldn't charge him with the real charges.

If we were to impeach Dubyah let the charges read: For incompetence, shown be his refusal to actually study the problems before he orders troops in, shown by ignoring white papers on Al_Qaeda plans to attack the US with airplanes.

Let him be impeached for refusing to admit his mistakes, and refusing to see his mistakes.

Let him be impeached for not planning to win the peace in Iraq.

Let him be impeached for making the phrase "Force is a last resort" mean war is imminent.

Let him be impeached for blowing the opportunities of 9/11.

Let him be impeached for the corporate legislation passed on his watch allowing credit card companies to gouge middle income people, big business to profit by off shoring jobs, and shifting the tax burden to the middle class.

Let's not impeach him for lying. We learned that lesson with Clinton and the Blue Dress. If we impeach a president let it be for something meaningful, like the grotesque misuse of power, as illustrated by "warrantless" telephone tapping.

Then again, if we impeached Dubyah and forced him out of office, Dick Cheney would be front and center.

Maybe we should throw out all the bums and start over.

Taking Responsibility

First let me say I'm back.

Life has gotten in the way of my political ranting, but I think I've been quiet too long. The other day I heard a rumor that Dubyah was planning to invade Iraq. All logic of course is against even Himself doing something so incredibly stupid, yet the rumor had some serious legs and came from a serious place.

So I thought for a while, what could generate such a rumor? Well, Dubyah did say that military force would be the last resort if the Iranians wouldn't cease their pursuit of peaceful Nuclear Power. After all Nuclear Power comes from enriched Uranium which can be used to make a Weapon of Mass Destruction. (See Chernobyl..>) I'm sure his gut is telling him that no matter what those stupid physicists say the Axis of Evil will find a way to make WMDs like they did in Iraq.

They didn't have any in Iraq?

Oh.

Well that doesn't matter. At least not to the Commander in Chief.

In fact, it doesn't matter that our military mission in Iraq was never based on winning the peace. We never had enough troops to hold the trouble spots and put out the insurgency before it started. Our troops were supposed to turn over the country to Halliburton and leave. At least that's what the general's were told.

And Dubyah said, today, that he'd do it the same way all over again.

That should be grounds for impeachment. The shear arrogance of the man to say that he's right in the face of the facts and the thousands of brave soldiers who have lost their lives and worse (what's worse than dying? Ask the young GI with no legs or the one with no hands and a new baby he can't hold or support.)

Well Congress can't impeach him because they fell for his line of shit to start with. But if he starts noising around about attacking Iran, I think the impeachment proceedings should be immediate and I think he should be forced to resign or serve his remaining term behind bars along with the rest of the brigands he brought into the administration of our nation.

As for Iran? Let them address the world energy shortage with nuclear power. God love them if they manage to not create a Chernobyl or Three Mile Island. But let them test a nuclear war head and we should offer them several of ours, with delivery systems only used once.

We might not want to take the same approach with North Korea since China would at the very least be offended by the fall out, but then again China might choose to slap the rat biting at her ankle in her own way.
