What Did The Democrats Say About Iraq's WMD JANUARY 30, 2004 |

Document Location: http://www.glennbeck.com/news/01302004.s...

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003 | Source

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002 | Source

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
- President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998 | Source

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
- President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998 | Source

"We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the stability and security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction."

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton.

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999 | Source

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002 | Source

We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program.

Answer 2

Bush did not mislead Americans and the world on Iraq. He used the best military intelligence from agencies around the world. It happened that some of that information was wrong. Not a crime just bad intelligence.

There has been no "illegal wiretapping of American Citizens". There is a difference in the interpretation of the Homeland Security Act.

The torture of prisoners was never authorized or condoned by the president. Interrogation was authorized and condoned. Some soldiers got out of hand and have been courtmartialed for the offenses.

As for violations of the UN Charter and Nuremberg Charter, just a bunch of rhetoric with no substance. Additionally, these are volunteer treaties that are only binding as long as each country wishes to remain bound to them.

Answer 3

The war on Afghanistan was unjustified from any measurement! There was no proof presented or any legal action taken. Osama is still not on the FBI's list for anything to do with 9/11. We could have sent in a delta force team and captured him at any time we wanted and still can, truth is they don't want him! This invasion was planed months in advance of 9/11, did they know something we didn't?
Every reason given for going to war with Iraq was a lie! Especially the cooked "yellow cake" documents! The issuing of "no bid" contracts was a totally illegal operation.
Both of these wars were undeclared and therefore illegal and impeachable offenses.

Answer 4

unlawful suspension of the writ of habias corpus. unlawful seek and seizure/wiretapping unlawful no bid contracts to Haliburtion Fraud by making use of skill of cherrypicking intelligence to lie to the american public to conflict. Involvement at as quickly as or circuitously in the exposure of a CIA operative (won't be able to be substantiated) those are the grounds. Thats why impeachment is being called for by making use of people who understand that obtaining if mendacity some BJ is impeachable then so is mendacity some reason for conflict, to not point out the different 4. And, to be honest the left gained the favored vote. the fabulous gained the wonderful courtroom.

Answer 5

First off even the dummycrats believed the CIA's report about there being WMD's in Iraq. Bush did not have to twist any arms in congress to get them to vote to permit Him to take action. Unlike those who are now trying the old dummycrat trick of take backs, Bush has stood by His actions. If I had one of those terrorist that beheaded our people it would not take 5 seconds to torture them. The UN has ignored all its resolutions and the world ignored Saddam's lunacy so why should Bush pay any attention to those charters?? Protecting this country and it's people often calls for unpleasant things but the President has the duty do do what He feels right. Roosevelt was monitoring the private sector before WWII and every president since the invention of the telephone has monitored what was going on. Wake UP.

Answer 6

The ignorant are the goosesteppers of the Take Back America clan..like you and the vacant sourcing of what you desire..not what is.

Poe: They are pursuing a three-phase plan. The first two phases are based upon the successful strategy which the left used to force regime change in America during the late ‘60s and early ‘70s.

Phase One is to impeach President Bush for allegedly deceiving the nation into war. We call this phase Watergate II.
****************************************************
this is what you and Cindy She-haaaaaaaaaaaaaan say


Phase Two is to force a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and to cut off aid to the Iraqi Republic, just as Democrats cut off aid to South Vietnam after Nixon resigned. We call this phase Vietnam II.



Phase Three is velvet revolution. This is a term used in Eastern Europe to describe the sort of bloodless coup for which Soros is well-known in that part of the world. He has used these methods to topple regimes in many countries, such as Yugoslavia, Ukraine and the Republic of Georgia.

Soros’ velvet revolutions always follow the same pattern. The rebels wait for an election, then precipitate a crisis by charging voter fraud.

Answer 7

Do you know how idiotic is is to impeach a president in the last few months of his term, pretty idiotic! Not to mention the cost of us tax payers that have to foot the bill! He didn't torture prisoners, our US military did. He has no control over how those people behave, especially since he lives here. As far as misleading Americana's about the war on Iraq, the bombed our Twin Tower's and our own people demanded justice!! Bomb their as*es I heard over and over, so he did and now everyone is angry, oh our troops are over there to long, well we can't leave the people over there that helped us fight, and gave intelligence to our troops, they will be killed, we have to eliminate their enemies in order for them to be free, and what president hasn't broken rules! And wire tapping, well I don't have anything to worry about so I'm not mad.

Answer 8

President Bush has NOT been charged with any crime while in office; therefore, impeachment is NOT an option.

I don't know what is so hard to understand about this. It is very clearly laid out in the Constitution.

ADDITION:

Here is the exact text from Article II Sec. 4 of the United States Constitution:

"The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

President Bush or Vice President Cheney must be convicted of a crime to be impeached. Pretty obvious if you ask me.

Answer 9

Only if you try Hillary and Bill for treason. (Add Nancy Pelosi for violating the Constitution and federal law by trying to give the illusion SHE could represent us diplomatically!)

Answer 10

Even if he was impeached do you honestly think that two-thirds of the Senate would vote to remove him?

Answer 11

I feel your pain, but I see no grounds for criminal charges / impeachment. Frankly, as a lawyer, I am more gravely concerned about Cheney's new branch of government argument.
