By the time you get to article 20 of Congressman Dennis Kucinich's 35 articles of Impeachment ~ you will begin to fully realize the extent of the abuses of power manifested by the Bush/Cheney administration in their attempt to highjack our Republic for their own neocon worldwide crime syndicate: Allen L Roland
The House is set to vote today on whether to send articles of impeachment against President Bush to the House Judiciary Committee. The 35 articles, offered by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) and now co-sponsored by Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL), must be acted upon within two days, under House rules.
If your not fully aware that the Bush/Cheney administration is a crime syndicate and more than qualifies for Impeachment and/or criminal prosecution ~ read the following and then the articles themselves;
10 Jun 2008 A BBC investigation estimates that around $23bn (£11.75bn) may have been lost, stolen or just not properly accounted for in Iraq. For the first time, the extent to which some private contractors have profited from the conflict and rebuilding has been researched by the BBC's Panorama using US and Iraqi government sources. A US gagging order is preventing discussion of the allegations. The order applies to 70 court cases against some of the top US companies... In the run-up to the invasion one of the most senior officials in charge of procurement in the Pentagon objected to a ( no bid ) contract potentially worth seven billion that was given to Halliburton ~ which still has connections with Vice President Dick Cheney. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7444083.stm
Congressman Kucinich has laid out an extensive indictment of the president. Read them slowly, let them all sink in and then take action to bring this bad dream to its proper ending ~ Impeachment.
