Those of you who keep saying "the Democrats" voted for the surge, won't support an impeachment inquiry, etc., are misrepresenting the votes in Congress.   In many cases, the majority of the Dems -- sometimes including Pelosi, Reid, etc. -- have voted against Dubya's agenda, but virtually all the Republicans (plus Lieberman) and a handful of Democrats (often from states where a really liberal Dem would never get elected make up a majority -- or the Republicans filibuster in the Senate).

The Dems ARE conducting hearings that well may lead to some Republicans condemning Bush the way it went down for Nixon after Watergate.   Unless and until hearings uncover enough clear-cut wrongdoing that at least a few in their own party will acknowledge the corruption of Bush and Cheney, passing an impeachment resolution would be spun by the media as strictly partisan and the public would not be behind it.   They need to do the investigations first -- impeach Gonzales too -- then let the hearings take Congress where they will.
