I would like to hear some reasons why you think Bush should be impeached. Libs keep calling for it, so I'd like to hear why.

Commuting Libby's sentence is well within the power of the president. He is under no obligation to explain his reasons. This power is granted him per the constitution I believe.
90% of congress agreed Iraq had WMD's and supported his decision to go to war with them.

90% of congress was misinformed?
Is it possible that the president was also misinformed?
If that is the basis, why aren't you hollering for congress to be completely gutted?
The attorney general couldn't 100% say that the wiretaps broke any written laws. That's why there wasn't more brought on Bush about it. How can you guys?

Also the democrats themselves have said that his actions are border line illegal/criminal, but they can't be defined as illegal. Don't you think with as much as they complain about what Bush does that if what he did was impeachable that they would have already impeached him?

The illegal wiretapping and the administration's refusal to answer for its illegal activities constitute an abuse of power, the same thing that led to Clinton's impeachment. On the other hand, there's nothing in the books about using The Constitution as toilet paper, so I guess Bush gets off the hook on that one.

Here are some websites that answer it better than I could. My favorites are condoning the torture of prisoners and authorizing illegal wiretaps. FWIW, most presidents grant pardons (and/or commute sentences) at the end of their term, and after the appeals process has been served, and not to people who worked for them and may have committed their crimes with the promise from the President that they would serve no time.

90% of Congress was misinformed at the time. Even Colin Powell testified that there were WMD's and he now knows he was duped just like the rest of us. Bush makes Clinton look like a light wieght when it comes to lying and it's not just liberals who want Bush out of office.

he should be impeached because he brought the country into a war that wasn't necessary. there was no reason to go to iraq. thousands of innocent lives, iraqis and americans, were killed. it's an unsuccessful war and Bush made a mistake. it pisses me off that he just can't admit it and get the troops home.
i don't know about the libby thing..

I could give you more reasons to put President Bush on Mt Rushmore than I could for impeaching him.
Every President pardon and commutes sentences. Bush has done it far less than previous Presidents. Clinton pardoned like 396 people and commuted 61 sentences. Bush is in single digits in commuting sentences, and has pardoned just over 100 people.
He's been pretty stingy with his vetoes, pardons, and commutations.

Illegal wire tapping, ignoring due legal process, rendition, breaking ratified UN resolutions and international law, confiscating weapons from the local populace after Hurricaine Katrina, possible involvement in outing a CIA agent? There's quite a few grounds really.

Because Clinton was and because George got elected twice.
He is a republican and he had the nerve to deal with a situation that the media and democrats try to ignore. He turned around an economy that was headed into recession and made the media and democrats look like idiots. There was a hurricane while he was in office and it showed the utter inability of a state run by democrats to handle any emergency.

Commuting Libby's sentence falls under obstruction of justice. Lying the country into a war that has cost hundreds of thousands of lives is the big one though.

he lied about WMD.
But we cant really prove that...unlike clinton where there was evidence about his affair,there are not any phone call from George bush knowing that there were no WMD in iraq
