It's interesting that the only person in congress who is using the word "impeachment" is conservative Chuck Hagel (R-NE).
I've been wondering why we haven't seen any hearings about lying to trick the country into a badly thought-out war. No one has had an answer, until now.
Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA) said pushing for impeachment would be counterproductive because it would break off efforts to recruit conservative support for changing the course of the war in Iraq. “We’re trying to get [conservatives] to vote against the war. They’re coming around. You don’t hear them singing the virtues of George Bush like they used to. But nothing will turn this into a partisan lockdown faster than impeachment.” Inslee added, “Ending the war is what’s important now.”
Jump!
Okay, so instead of talk of impeachment, how about just good old "let's-get-to-the-truth" hearings?
Has anyone in Congress heard about the Downing Street Memo, among the rest of the mountain of evidence to suggest Bush and Cheney lied?
Even if what Inslee says is true, what exactly are the democrats doing to end the war? Pushing non-binding and transparent resolutions that are doomed to failure?
How about getting tough with these bastards? I think bullying, brute force and public disgrace are the only things they really understand.
