If Bush KNOWINGLY lied about WMDs to get us in a war with Iraq, then why isn't he impeached?

Question

come on liberals, tell me....if there is so much evidence then why isn't Bush impeached?

Answer 1

The liberals in Congress, to include Hillary and Obama, based on the same information Bush had, voted to go to war. So, now they are back peddling and trying to distance themselves.

Only problem is that:

1. Many of the scientist from Iraq admitted they had WMD's and that Syria has them now.

2. All those drums of pesticide ( 100% pesticide) sitting beside those 105 mm artillery shells kinda fell off peoples radar. Course, I guess they deliver insecticide to their fields with artillery shells, or to the Kurds. Amazing, these are WMD's, but everyone forgot about those.

3. World intelligence agencies had been saying Saddam had word out for Radioactive material. If that isnt shopping for parts of a nuke bomb, I dont know what is.

If you cut through the crap, common sense shows we did the right thing going into Iraq. I see three positive things coming out of this war.

1. Another Democratic government in the middle of the Islamic empire.

2. Keeping a large oil field out of the hands of Iran, who would shut the US off and cause big lines like in the 70's during the oil embargo.

3. Keeps the terrorists close at hand so we can kill them easily. With them there, less chance of them being here. but hey, watch out cause, they are up to something big.

Then all the liberals who have yelled we shouldnt be there can sit back and say " Bush didnt do enough to protect America." God I love the double standard, double talk and backstabbing of politics.


Semper Fi

Answer 2

All the evidence in the world would not get Bush impeached .
The congress and Bush all work for others and its not the people .
If they decided to get rid of Bush it would happen in a moment .

If the whole war was a BS story from the get go then people might look in to why 9-11 happened and then maybe who is profiting and then maybe some very rich controlling people might be exposed and these rich inbred blue bloods from Europe would be very unhappy about that .

So Bush will remain .

Answer 3

I am not a liberal but I will take a stab at it. For starters the democrats due not have that commanding of a majority in Congress to impeach him.
Secondly Bush has now become the MVP for the Democrats in 2008. I think the Democrats cheer every time he screws this country up because they knw each mistake he makes, will help create an even larger victory party in 2008. So the Democrats do not care about the damage Bush is causing to America they in fact cheer it on.

Answer 4

It would be a waste of time and money just as it was when the GOP went after Clinton. There are too many Republicans in Congress to block any such move in the first place. Although there are many, many reasons for impeachment. Also people realize we would have to impeach Cheney too or we'd be going from bad to worse.

Lying about WMD is a minor offense for Bush there are some much worse than that.

Answer 5

Because they found the sarin & mustard gas that was the basis for the WMD claim for one. The uranium dirty bomb claim turned out to be false. But that wasn't what the original WMD claim was about.
Besides, Saddam was obligated to allow free & unfettered inspections & he didn't. Then there was the daily attacks against US & British aircraft through the previous decade.
Attempting to impeach Bush would bring these facts to the forefront & the dems would lose all the political points they gained from crying wolf these last few years.

Answer 6

It is not a good idea to start impeachment proceedings if you know that you are not going to a 2/3 majority in the Senate, regardless of the rights or wrongs of the case.

The fact that there has not been an impeachment neither proves nor disproves that Bush lied about WMDs, so please stop claiming that it does.

Answer 7

Possibly because too many people fear that it would be the wrong thing to do while we are at war with the terrorists; atleast that is what the powers that be want people be believe. "We can't impeach a president while we are at war, right?" Enough people have been programmed to think that even if Bush lies and does bad things, without him in office fighting a tough war, we will not be safe from the terrorists and could have another 911. That is just one factor though.

Answer 8

LoL...... IF Bush lied than the democrats voted for the war knowing it was a lie. You mean to say Hilary wasn't privvy to the same info Bush was. She voted for the war. She never said it was a lie at the time. Perhaps Bill just forgot to tell her at the time it was lie or perhaps he did and she voted for the war anyway. Perhaps she forgot to tell the rest of her democrat buddies what her hubby Bill said or ......Perhaps Bush didn't lie but based decisions on the intelligence with which he had been presented. Imagine that.

So Who did more evil... the purported liar or the politicians that knowingly supported the liar?

Answer 9

'Faulty' intelligence was used as a justification for the Iraq War. The Democrats have been successful in spinning that as 'Bush lied,' but not successful enough as yet, to create the public pressure that would force Rep senators to cross the aisle in support of impeachment.

Answer 10

mendacity means Bush knew there have been no WMD's in Iraq and despatched us in any comprehend. I have not any doubt in any respect that Bush believed there have been WMD's in Iraq. subsequently he did not lie. He became incorrect as hell yet no impeachable offense became committed.
