Subject: RE: BS: A Declaration of Impeachment
Well, well Amos, here we are in July, just a couple of days over four months before the election.

As for:

"perhaps you feel that Mister Bush has never lied to the American people or the American Congress. Or perhaps you imagine he has broken no laws, violated no Consittutional limitations, or violated no part of his oath.

Unfortunately there is a large portion of the American public who disagree with you on these points."

They can disagree all they want, it doesn't make them right, it is only their opinion. The people in the know ain't moving on it, for the very solid reason that they do not believe that there is a case to answer. No point banging on about Bush and unilateral attacks on independent sovereign states in contravention of UN Charter, or without a Congress sanctioned declaration of war. He didn't do that, did he? But Bill Clinton did in 1998. Bush did not set up Iraq for an attack, the House Joint Security Committee and the US Intelligence Agencies did that. Iraq having been identified by them as a clear threat three years before Bush moved into the White House.

Now you and your fellow travellers may not be prepared to take all that in as acknowledged fact, but those good citizens sitting in the Senate and in the House of Representatives damn well know it to be the truth - Hence no action and no prospect of action on impeachment.

If it is to happen it has to happen soon, it won't because even if there was any sort of case to answer nobody wants this at this time because they want to concentrate on getting either elected or re-elected and if the Dems push ahead with this they are dead in the water and they fully realise it.
