Future US Presidents (ALL of them) will look back on a Bush administration that either got away with lying to start a war, or they’ll look back on an administration that was held accountable.
If Bush and Cheney get away with it, well, good luck to you, and especially your children and grandchildren.
If someone as inarticulate as George W. Bush, and someone as unlikable as Richard B. Cheney can get away with it, then just about any administration can.
Good luck to you, I say.
Good luck to your freedoms and liberties, which will be relentlessly under attack during the "time(s) of war".
Good luck to the volunteers who will serve in our armed forces, who will no doubt be ordered to fight and die based on more lies, because in the year 2008, Americans did not support the troops enough to hold Bush and Cheney accountable.
Good luck to your national security. It’s a given that we’ll fight wars that create enemies and alienate allies, while squandering precious blood and treasure.
Good luck to your favorite government program, whether it be education, healthcare or infrastructure. There won’t be much money to fund any of it. Future administrations will start wars, based on lies, because it’s easy – all anyone has to do is follow the blueprint from the Bush administration.
Shame on you, Chairman Reyes and Chairman Rockefeller of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees, for not investigating how we were taken to war. After America went to war based on manipulated intelligence and blatant lies, you have chosen to let the Bush administration get away with it. Americans are fighting and dying in Iraq because Bush and Cheney lied. You could have and can investigate it, but you have not and will not.
Shame on you, Speaker Pelosi, for although you've stated that it’s "well known to the American people" that we went to war based on a "false premise," you took impeachment off the table for a president who is much worse than Nixon.
I would like those who oppose impeachment to answer this:
How does it support the troops to let them continue to die without justice? Are the troops not worth the effort?
How does it support national security to let Bush and Cheney off the hook?
How is it best for America that the High Crimes of the Bush administration go unpunished, so that future presidents will replicate the bad behavior?
How do members of the Legislative branch honor their Oath to defend the Constitution by letting the Executive branch repeatedly violate the Constitution, commit serious crimes, violate international treaties, and abuse power?
If you don’t impeach...Good luck! You will need it. Sooner than you’d like.
