Letter to editor describing Impeachment as a duty of those who honor their oath of office.

::::::::

There has never been an executive duo more deserving of Impeachment then George W. Bush & Dick Cheney. They have sponsored a campaign to deceive Congress and "We The People" not only into an illegal War of aggression, but they have systematically embarked on a campaign to shred the very Constitution that they took an oath to defend. There is strong evidence of unethical if not illegal behavior by multiple staffers and appointees who carry out the wishes of these two executives.

I agree with the premise of Maj. Gen. Smedley Butlers book "WAR IS A RACKET" and these two have exploited every facet of that Racket. Maj. Gen. Butler contends that as long as a few can make huge profits from War then we will be subject to continual War. Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler was a two time Medal of Honor Recipient and is well known by all United States Marines.

Our servicemen and women are dying in Iraq so that private oil companies can obtain rights to Iraqi oil. The American taxpayer is not only financing this quest for private profit, but also paying extremely high costs for this energy at home. We are being robbed by those whose oath means nothing to them.

Impeachment is the only answer.  It is the duty of those who honor the oath they have taken.
