Clinton was impeached for telling lies while under oath.
Bush has committed no "war crimes"
Just another obvious Liberal Socialist lie.

No president has been impeached for getting a blowie so far.
The vast majority of politicians in the US government are self-serving. They have written presidents and themselves above the law. Even if this POTUS is accused of war crimes and impeachment hearings initiated, the most that could happen is the taxpayers will cough up about 40 million a year for the rest of his life to keep him alive in fat wealth he doesn't need because his family has made so many one-sided oil deals and enforced them with the US military.
Besides, he's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to war crimes. Also, war crimes are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to crimes recently committed against humanity. Remember Katrina? Who made sure no fresh water got into New Orleans until all the people still swimming in that polluted muck had to drink it so they would be poisoned to death?
Who do you think is responsible for making sure nobody gets the truth about the effects fossil fuels are having on this our only planet? What good is law or economy when the earth won't sustain life in another few decades?

Because he lied about getting the blowie under oath. It's called perjury, it's a crime and he did it in front of millions of witnesses. The so called war crimes are committed by every wartime leader and are rarely actually carried out by the leader so it's difficult to pin anything on him.

I agree with Fast Eddie.
And I have to say something about Bush. Now I am not all for that man but you have to give the man credit. He came into office knowing he had to fix what Clinton messed up completely.He was barely in office when 9/11 happened and he had different priorities so the next president will just be cleaning up a mess Clinton and the terrorists started.

Well the Republican controlled Congress had DNA evidence on the one president.
And the Democratic controlled Congress does not begin the session until after New Years.
So lets just wait and see what the next round of investigations and inquiries will bring...like how come we were so sure that there was WMD?

Saddam is being punished for his "war crimes". But he wasn't at war with his own people.

America is now a liberal country with a liberal majority.
Give the liberals time to repair all the damage caused by bush and his henchmen.
You cant repair a country overnight. it will take time.

I think what you meant to ask was "How does one President get impeached for lying to a grand jury and another get away with what some (sadly) dazed and confused people call 'war crimes'", right?
