Time remains to impeach the president

There is still time to hold President George W. Bush accountable for the harm done to our democracy and to show the world what kind of democracy America believes in. The House Judiciary Committee held a meeting on the actions of the president.... Congressman Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, has introduced again articles of impeachment.

Mr. Bush has waged an illegal war, using innuendos to make Americans believe Iraq was involved in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks; he lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq; he engaged in warrantless spying on American citizens; and approved torture, rendition, removal of rights from prisoners and ignored the Geneva Convention. He caused the death of more than 4,000 American soldiers, created 4.5 million Iraqi refugees, made complete chaos of Iraq and is responsible for depleted uranium poisoning. Also, he spent $1 trillion on the war.

Was this all for power or oil in the Middle East?

In addition, Mr. Bush did not sign the Kyoto Treaty, thwarted scientific reporting in the United States on global warming and included more than 800 signing statements on bills he signed.

Let's not wait until the president bombs Iran to impeach."
