What if you knew for certain that George W Bush and Dick Cheney purposefully mislead the Nation to achieve goals they thought were more important than whether or not there ever were any W M D's. Would you think that was an impeachable offense

1. To be impeachable, you have to lie under oath (i.e. break the law).
2. He couldn't have lied, because congress had ALL of the same intelligence that he had, right in front of them.
The later claim by congressmen and women (including Hillary Clinton) that they "didn't read the whole thing" really doesn't cut it with me as an excuse.

Yes it is.
His administration has been based on one lie after another. I cannot see how some people cannot see this. The favorite talking point of these people is what Clinton did. Well, the Bill Clinton administration did not leave us with a mountain of debt, countless young lives lost in a needless war that we were convinced of getting into based on lies. This country should be very afraid of were this administration is leading us

It's not, because lying to the American people is not a criminal offense. Impeachment is the process by which an elected official is charged with and then tried for a crime.
Edit: LOL, you guys can "thumbs-down" all you want, but what I say is true. Trust me, I am NO fan of George W. Bush, but the Republicans made a joke of the impeachment process with Clinton. Now everyone thinks you can impeach someone because you disagree with their behavior as President, and you can't.

I have always thought they lied about WMD. Impeachment would be good but unachievable because there are too many of their supporters in the Senate to dump them. Besides if we don't start cleaning up the mess from the neocons now it may never get cleaned up.

Than so did the rest of the world and the Clinton administration lie because they all believed there were WMD's.
Was it right for Clinton to believe there were WMD's, and wrong for Bush to believe the same?

I voted for him but I would say that if they fixed intelligence to achieve an agenda that was not to make the US safer I would stand behind impeachment. I don't believe that to be what has happened but if the proof is there I would do what had to be done to bring them to justice.

As a Conservative, I feel that it is impossible for this administration to deceive us, in any way.
Bush and Cheney are both angelic beings, with only the highest principles, morals, and ethics in their warm, loving hearts.
They can not lie.

This is an easy one...lying to a nation, taking them to war under knowable false pretenses is an impeachable offense. Proving it is the tricky part...
