What is this "debate" over whether or not Bush ought to have authority to order a "surge?" Who gives a damn! He doesn't have enough authority to be a town dog catcher as far as I'm concerned, and I know many of you feel the exact same way.
Forget "investigations."
Forget resolutions, binding or non-binding.
Forget stances by politicians to make it clear how they stand against escalation, even if they're not willing to do something about it.
Forget trying to make political hay out of this mess for the Dems.
Now is the time for Congress to do something.
Now is the time to come together to rid our body politic of this cancer that is Bush and his administration through impeachment. Right now.
The man just practically admitted on national TV that more troops won't really make a difference. That he's got no answers, no strategy, except to maybe attack two more countries and make it worse still.
This whole mess is insane. Repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results is madness.
This Congress was elected to bring sanity back. Period. Bush has shown exactly how he regards this Congress. Let's forget 100 hours. Now is the time to impeach.
We've got the votes in the House. In the Senate, we can get them. There's plenty of Republicans who would cross the aisle if it was made imperative for them, Republican Senators who still have a decent bone in their body and are not indebted in any way to this idiot of a president. Lugar. Snowe. Maybe Collins. Hagel. Specter. Possibly Voinovich. Gordon Smith. Sununu's got ties to Dubya's dad, and despite having some rotten friends, he is relatively moderate on some issues and he might be turned. Screw Joey Lieberman. He's a lost cause. This can happen. Bush could be impeached, easily.
Those Kossacks represented by these Republican moderates could have a lot of sway.
It all starts by writing your Representative and your Senators, no matter who they are, and telling them to impeach Bush now.

I used to be one of those who thought impeachment was impossible, so why bother? Also, it could be terrible for our democracy to have so many Constitutional crises in so few decades. Given Bush's idiocy, I don't see how an impeachment could possibly be worse for our country than Bush, and I don't see anymore why it has to be impossible. Those Republican Senators are not thrilled with the man -- far, far from it. Tell your Congress to cut a deal with the other side of the aisle and get that man out of the White House, today.
End the madness of our King George. Impeachment NOW!
