If Bush LIED us into the Iraq war, then where are the impeachment charges?

Question

If it is an ILLEGAL war, as some say, then why isn't anybody leading the charge to get him impeached? Are all the congresspersons all talk and no game? Why isn't anybody trying to press impeachment charges against Bush for lying us into the war? Hmm.... unless it's all lip service and politics and there really are no grounds for impeachment. hmmmmm

Answer 1

The reason President Bush has not been impeached is that he has not committed an impeachable offense. The liberals’ constant rant that he lied is in fact a lie. He acted on the same information that congress did when they authorized the war in Iraq. He did not lie under oath as Clinton did. In fact, his biggest fault is that he has been brutally honest and the liberals don’t agree with what he has to say. That doesn’t make it a lie. I wish the liberals would come up with a meaningful rant, but I don’t think they’re capable of it.

Answer 2

His impeachment charges are with the weapons of mass destruction.

Answer 3

So Nixon never bugged watergate, Clinton never 'had sex with that woman' and was embroiled in Whitwwatergate, etc.
Governments don't impeach, because they're all corrupt.
For your interest, in the UK, several political parties members are attempting to impeach Tony Blair.

Answer 4

because Congress has to do the impeaching and with a congress majority that is republican they would never impeach Bush...you must be very naive, you must be one of those suckers that watches fox news and believes everything they say

Answer 5

well.. perhaps you have heard of people called "Republicans"?

they control the senate and house... that's where impeachment proceedings are held... and if they don't want to do it... then you can't do it...

and since the president is a Republican, they won't do it...

if the congress had been democrat, do you really think Clinton would have ever even been investigated, much less impeached? if you do, you're beyond naive...

Answer 6

I dunno. But your question in no way has anything to do with whether or not the charges are false. Bush has a pattern of open corruption and perjury going back all the way to his first so-called "election" on November 7, 2000, six years ago next week. He's had carte blanche to get by with everything up to and including bloody murder ever since.

Several groups from both parties have tried unsuccessfully to have Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld indicted, brought up on charges, and impeached, all to no avail.

Let me ask you this: In Bush's State of the Union Address for January 2003, just before the Iraq war started, Bush stated that he had something called "Project BioShield" that he was going to disburse to every soldier, man, woman, and child in the United States for a total cost of just six billion dollars. This vaccine would protect us from the anthrax, Ebola, smallpox, and Ricin that Bush swore that Saddam Hussein had "massive stockpiles of, several hundred thousand tons of."

If Bush truly believed that Saddam Hussein had these things and "the hate, the resolve, and the will to use them against the American people" that Bush SWORE he had, then why was Project BioShield never disbursed to any of us, not even our front-line soldiers? Six billion dollars isn't even twenty-four dollars apiece for every man, woman, and child in the entire United States of America. The cost for protecting all of our young soldiers overseas in Iraq wouldn't even have been three cents apiece.

So if Bush was telling the truth and he truly believed Saddam Hussein had these WMDs, why weren't our brave servicemen and women worth three cents apiece to Bush?

Because Project BioShield was obviously Bush Short-hand for Project BS. The war was a fake and Bush fully knew it. It is a war of profiteering, and that's all it ever was. There has never been such a criminal in American politics in our two-hundred-and-thirty year history.

Bring on the Impeachment!
I don't care how you vote next Tuesday, just DON'T vote Republican!

The Iraq war has now cost us over a trillion dollars
That's over three thousand dollars apiece for every
American man, woman, and child. Need I say more?

Answer 7

Illegal in the sense that it wasn't OK'd by the U.N. 9/11 has nothing to do with this war, so that excuse is moot. Restoring a non-existent democracy in Iraq is laughable. And his own party will not impeach him, as you should know.

Pretty much, it's all a crock of shite and I see through it.

There are "politics" involved in why Bush isn't being charged with a crime. Pun intended.

Answer 8

With the GOP in power of both parts of Congress, and Deadeye Dick in the second slot, there is a strong reluctance to proceed.

The second part of your premise is also a strong consideration point as well, but if you are going to impeach a president for an Oval Office dalliance (where no one was really hurt), what does that make Iraq

Answer 9

For some reason people are afraid of him. That's why theres no call to impeach. Maybe it has something to do with him being of little intelligence and completely psycho.

Answer 10

Good point. I think you have a sleeping congress.
