Why hasn't Bush been impeached for lying under oath...you know the Oath Of Presidential Office that he took?

Question

THIS oath: "and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

When he called the Constitution a "God Dam Piece of Paper" he lied under oath (same thing that they got Clinton for) and furthermore, isn't that TREASON?

VH..Clinton didn't have NEAR the numbers of loss of life that Bush has. Don't even get me started down that, because I don't like EITHER Bush OR Clinton, but the facts stand as they do.

Also, you never answered the question asked. My question has nothing to do with terrorist attacks. Please stay on course.

Answer 1

Article III, Section 3 of the US Constitution classifies treason as giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the US. George has done, and is still doing, just that. His unnecessary war in Iraq aided our enemy al Qaeda beyond bin Laden’s wildest hopes and dreams. The unbalanced and unnatural support the US lavishes on the religious state of Israel helps to guarantee grassroots support for al Qaeda from the billion plus Muslim population around the world.

When the US was attacked on 9/11, we were attacked by the Islamic militant group al Qaeda, not by Iraq. Iraq had absolutely NOTHING to do with it. Due to the 9/11 attack and the prior al Qaeda attack on the World Trade Center, as well as other operations by al Qaeda against the US, al Qaeda was our enemy.

In order to stay healthy and to grow, al Qaeda, like any organization, needs support from people. The Islamic people love their religion of Islam. They value it and will defend it. They will, and do, support organizations that they believe are fighting for the values of Islam. Millions of Muslims see al Qaeda as fighting for Islamic interests. It is in America’s interests to do what it can to remove this support base of al Qaeda’s. To do this, America needs to show the Islamic people that we respect them and their right to live life as they see fit. We need to demonstrate a live-and-let-live philosophy towards them.

When Bush decided to attack Iraq, he aided the sworn enemy of the US, al Qaeda. Prior to Bush’s war, Iraq was largely a secular nation. The religious fanatics were kept to a minimal amount of influence by Saddam. However, when George and the neocons invaded Iraq, or I should say, sent others to invade Iraq, and toppled Saddam, the Islamic religious fanatics came out of the woodwork! They created a breeding ground and on-the-job training opportunities for millions of Islamic terrorists and al Qaeda! This, according to the US Constitution, is treason on George’s and the neocons’ behalf! The war in Iraq is definitely aiding al Qaeda!

Iraq is the second most holy place in the world for Muslims. The Islamic people, encouraged by bin Laden, see the US invasion of Iraq as a religious war against Islam. Being an intelligent jihadist, bin Laden takes great advantage of George’s war and the opportunity Bush has given him. In an open letter to the Iraqi people, bin Laden said, "Be aware that this war is a new crusade against the Islamic world. It is a decisive war for the whole community. For those who do not know, its repercussions are dangerous and wicked for Islam and Muslims. Oh youth of Islam everywhere, especially in (Iraq’s) neighbouring countries and Yemen, jihad is your duty and rightness is your path.”

Not only has George created a new Vietnam for America’s youth and their families to suffer in, he has committed treason against the US by helping America’s enemy, al Qaeda, grow and prosper.

Another key avenue of support for al Qaeda, and act of treason committed by Bush and the vast majority of politicians, is America’s unbridled and unreasonable support for Israel. The heartless and brutal expansion of Israel into Islamic territory is driving millions of Muslims to see the US as an enemy. It gives reason for them to support al Qaeda. In a public letter to the American people, bin Laden plainly said our blind support of Israel is a definite reason for their DEFENSIVE jihad against us. In fact, he listed it as the number one reason for al Qaeda to attack us. The death and destruction we promote in Palestine, due to the fear of Bush and the politicians of Israel’s lobby, AIPAC, and the apathy of the average American, is coming back to haunt us.

In committing treason, George is joined by virtually all members of the US Congress when it comes to placing Israel’s interests before those of America and Americans. Congress can’t do enough when it comes to arming the Jewish state in its war for a Greater Israel.

The former CIA expert on bin Laden, Michael Scheuer, believes the US/Israel relationship is that of the tail wagging the dog. It’s not natural for a tiny nation of six million to make demands, and eventually get whatever it demands, on a nation of the size and power of the US. But that is exactly what happens. And this obedience to Israel on the part of George and the political hacks in Congress only strengthens our enemy, al Qaeda.

George W. Bush needs to be brought up on charges of the high crime of treason. Perhaps jury members can come from families who lost their sons and daughters due to George’s treasonous war in Iraq. They can also come from idealistic and misguided soldiers and Marines who’ve lost their limbs or vision in the war started by liars, cowards, and traitors. And it should be done soon, before they start the next war in Iran or Syria.

Answer 2

The provision to establish the wiretapping program was done so according to law, the Patriot Act. I know the Patriot Act and the 4th amendment contradict each other, the only way to resolve it is through the supreme court. The constitution also guarantees a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and yet abortion is still legal, go figure. Impeach that.

Answer 3

Bush hasn't been impeached because no one wants Cheney as president! And because politicians on both sides all drink from the same feeding troughs of big business. And big business owns the media, and therefore our points of reference. We should start with Impeaching the president and vp and end with impeaching the house and senate. Another election where many of us will be voting against someone and not for someone. And they call this democracy.

Answer 4

I don't know why. I "trust" his grandfather, though, that in a hypothetical situation-if President F.D. Roosevelt would have regarded the constitution as "a God Dam piece of paper"-he would call for Roosevelt's impeachment.

Answer 5

Using your line of logic, that could be construed as incompetence, but not treason. Treason is defined in the constitution in Article 3 Section 3. The President has done nothing that would qualify as treason.

Answer 6

President Bush has never referred to the Constitution of the United States as a "god damned piece of paper".
If you intend to spread lies and rumors,at least come up with a believable one.
I've got boots older than you,get a few years under your belt and then ,just maybe, you can put forward a substantial thought.

Answer 7

Do you have any idea how many politicians have lied under oath ...? Give me a break ... you just want to focus on Bush because you don't like him.

What you are providing as 'proof' of deceit is little more than conjecture, theory, half truths, and personal opinion ... there isn't a Federal judge out there that wouldn't laugh you right out of court for providing such a schizophrenically paranoid argument in front of him/her.

___________

Primary Format ...

Are you seriously trying to say that by attacking Iraq Bush was providing 'support to enemies of the United States?" Common ... do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds ... not to mention you'd have to pull a rabbit out of your *** just to begin to establish the cogency of such an argument.

And ... Iraq is not the second most holy place for Muslims. Mecca and Medina are #1, and the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem is #2. Baghdad does have special significance to Shiite Muslims, but Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda are Sunni Muslims ... they view Shiites as heretics.

Also, the US has publicly renounced the actions of the State of Israel ... to suggest that someone Tel Aviv picks up the phone and gets whatever it wants from the US is just idiotic its so far out of touch with reality. There is a special interest in Israel in the United States, but its more ideological than anything else ... and hardly the grand conspiracy theory you're purporting it to be. Don't forget either part of the reason the United States supports Israel is because it is a 'Western Ally' in the center of the Middle East. And it has routinely be attacked virtually all of its neighbors (on numerous occasions) ... neighbors who are numerically and strategically far superior to Israel. Usually when Israel is in a fight its five or six Arab countries against Israel by itself. And if that weren't bad enough many of those neighbors they have defended themselves against countless times (that were bent on annihilating Israel ... not just defeating it) are still publicly calling to this day to 'destroy Israel at all costs.'

Answer 8

First of all, even a far-left media watch group admits that the "God damned piece of paper" story was BS. ONE pissed off idiot should NOT a story make, but thanks to the Internet, stories can spread like wildfire, regardless of veracity. If you can find me one LEGITIMATE source, I'll gladly recant, but you won't find one.

Secondly, ROFLMAO! Clinton proved impeachment is a waste of time and money. He lied under oath - were you as outraged? Somehow, I doubt it.

Answer 9

Ok, I don't like Bush, but this question is utterly ridiculous. Lying under oath is so SPECIFIC...and your example of what he may have said isn't a lie, technically, I mean, the Constitution IS a piece of paper, right? They didn't write it on a leaf or tree bark, right?
C'mon. If you're going to ask serious questions, at least be serious about it!

Answer 10

There are 978 thousand signatures at this writing on a petition to impeach Bush (and quickly approaching the 1 million signature mark). See it at:

www.ImpeachBush.org

I don't know the real reason he's not been impeached yet. It could be because he has such little time left in office. It might be that a country shouldn't impeach their Chief of Command during time of war. I don't know for sure but there is certainly momentum for impeachment. Join the cause!

Answer 11

If you read your Constitution, you will find the definition of Treason...and your description is not included therein. I think that answers your question.

But...Bush did not say what you suggest that he said...and you cannot find any source to validate that he said anything of the sort.

Are you a liar, Fedup, or do you just repeat claims without validation because they agree with your politics?
