Impeach Bush and Cheney

One of the rationales that the Bush administration is citing for the continued occupation of Iraq is that: "If we don't fight them over there we will have to fight them here." Presumably the "them" are the terrorists/insurgents who are killing Americans with roadside bombs.

To suggest that Americans should be afraid of a bunch of anti-American extremists who are setting up roadside bombs 8,000 miles away from the United States is utterly absurd. To put 150,000 Americans in harm's way so that we can be safe from these roadside bombers is insane.

Somehow the United States managed to survive the threat of nuclear annihilation by the Soviet Union for 40 years, but now we're supposed to be afraid of a bunch of psychopaths whose technology and weaponry consists of roadside bombs is utterly mind boggling.

Who is profiting from our soldiers dying? Carlyle Group, Halliburton, Titan, Blackwater and CACI! It's despicable.

Bush and Cheney should be impeached immediately"
