Clinton was impeached, ultimately, for lying to the American people about a sexual fling with an intern. Now that it’s absolutely confirmed that no WMD existed, why should Bush not be impeached?
Even after it became clear that no WMD existed and the CW reflected this, Bush and his administration continued to insist that there were WMD. In fact, last Spring 2004, Bush joked about not finding weapons at the annual press dinner. Yet he kept up the charade.
Granted, there’s a GOP majority in Congress and thus articles of impeachment would face massive opposition, but I find it hard to believe that Republicans don’t care that their leader lied for so long, forcing each one of them to lie for him — potentially ruining their own reputations with their constituency?
Tens of thousands of American casualties and billions of tax dollars later with no end in sight, the war wages on with reason number one: WMD. Prove to me that this doesn’t qualify as “high crimes and misdemeanors”.
