Bush's perilous provocations ask the question - is he begging for impeachment?

We can all see that almost 4 years of futile fighting in Iraq has made the situation worse then ever. We need a complete redefinition of "war" when Iraqi guards moonlight as insurgents and local hires working as translators play us for fools.

This is not war, this is our soldiers being blown up on roads as we travel back and forth, wondering how to tell our adversaries apart from innocent civilians. But we knew even before the invasion this was not a job for the military, we just hoped maybe the terrorists would put on recognizable uniforms and fight us like they did in the last millenium.

Unfortunately, the idea of impeachment has been widely rejected, not only because it takes so long (an estimated two years, making it impractical) but because it might make Bush a political martyr.

My alternative suggestion therefore is to draft a bill that would override Bush's executive order and authorize full United States participation in the International War Crimes Tribunal, requiring the president to go over there and cut the ribbon on our brand new signatory nation bureau offices.

Aging bleeding heart liberal who continues to believe in justice and the goodness of some people. I always have hope in a better fairer tomorrow. I do not understand the greed motivation,but I know it is seductive and pervasive.

Why should George worry. He stole two elections and trashed the Constitution ,so why worry about escalating the war and starting a few more. He does not think anyone can stop him. And so far he is right. Until Congress steps up and impeaches him and Dick Cheney he will continue on the road to destruction. He has privatized enough of the military so they are just Eunuchs now. He has all the covert operatives in positions of power so no one can make a move. If we had some fearless leaders we might be able to get him out before it is too late. Seems maybe we women will have to think of something since the men are all out looking for cover.We have a constitutional crisis in the making. I am not sure we have 100 hours left to stop him.
