After all, he did operate an illegal wiretapping program on the country without a warrant. He broke the law, right? Therefore, he should be impeached, right?

Wrong! The fact you pose that question in light of what your Democratic leaders have done brilliantly illustrates what you don't know about what is and is not illegal.
It's an election year. Democrats haven't controlled either house of Congress since 1994 and would like to retake control of at least one this year. IF they even thought they had a chance to nail GW's hide to the wall they would be pushing to impeach. If they were to succeed in impeaching GW they wold be big winners. Even if they didn't succeed they at least would retake the moral highground they lost when they didn't dump Clinton. They could say we tried to oust GW but those horrible Republicans blocked us. Vote for us, help us clean up government.
With all that said. Leading Democrats give a news sound bite about how outraged they are about survailance programs and other things and say they are looking into the matter further. But then they say nothing later. They even approved the new CIA director who was in charge of those 'illegal' operations. If they were so illegal why did they approve him? When Feingold proposed censure(a meer slap on the wrist) on the President, how many Democrats backed him?
Have you considered maybe the persons you should be mad it isn't a Republican but a Democrat? For the sake of argument let's say what GW did was illegal and he should be impeached. If that is the case the every Democrat Representative and Senator should be brought to court for deriliction of duty. Do you want to vote for someone who's a derilict?

If Bush really did do something worth impeachment, he would be impeached. ever since his first win (yes I did say win, like it or not) the opposing side has done everything to try to catch him at something, but never can. This is because when the true facts come out, ther is nothing to them.
II can only guess that all this impeachment talk is simply anger that your guy BJ Clinton got impeached for REALLY lying.

No it's a waste of $$$.
Remember Ken Star spent $25M investigating Clinton's purchase of a $35K building site on Whitewater Lake.
It would cost at least $50M to even try to impeach Bush.
He faces charges already that he will have to answer when he leaves office. He broke the American anti propaganda law with his PPR's and those charges are waiting for him.

I think you would have to have far greater grounds to impeach any president. Like for instnce this tragic war that is costing us so many human lives.. Not to mention the huge debt in money it is escalating. I am just wondering did he Mr Bush have the authority to enter us in this war ???? I thought congress had to have some say about it.

In that case all presidents should be impeached. There was no wire tapping!! They were only monitoring the phone numbers being called to & from, not actually listening to conversations. DUDE, dont believe the HYPE, get smart.

He shouldn't be impeached just for the fact that the incident was disclosed and the court rulings obeyed when the executive branch was told it was pursuing an illegal activity. that is why the US has 3 branches of government.
checks and balances

Well, Clinton was impeached, but that crook stayed in office, so even if the wacko-left manages to impeach Bush (which they WON'T), it won't mean he leaves office.
And even if they could get Bush out of office, they won't because I think they are even more afraid of Cheney than Bush.

Bush is no different than any other President. Bill Clinton was the one who athorized an wire tapping program back in 1999.

For the hundredth time it was not illegal, and he did not lie, and no he shouldn't be impeached for that, but he should be impeached for not protecting us against illegal invasion of Mexico.

It's not illegal to listen to conversations if half of the conversation takes originates in a foreign country. It isn't illegal. Maybe not too cool. But not illegal.
