The mere fact that it practically takes a hummer in the office to put a POTUS in the crosshairs is either laughable or depressing -- take your choice.

Seems to me that he's broken US law on torture and on the rights of prisoners. Perhaps more so in relation to Afghanistan than Iraq; though he has clearly broken international law in Iraq - you know, the bit about if you invade a country, you have to put enough forces in place to keep the peace - but not sure if he can be impeached on that.

International law? Pfah. There is no international law that can prevent war. the colation's decision to take out Iraq was perfectly legal. And how has he broken U.S. law on torture? You make him out to be some sort of Saruman (LOTR) - giving direct orders to the troops to rape and pillage. Pul-ease, get a grip.

Well, look what the cat dragged in! The old Bush should be arrested/impeached for Iraq thread. Anything new to add? Nah, just the same old trumped up charges by the New York Times, which hates Bush above all else and proves it week after week with its yellow journalism.

Of course there is something coming. In six months they have mid term elections in the U.S. The Dems and their fellow Bush haters in the media are trying like crazy to get some Dems elected by sliming the Republican president and shift the balance of power in the Senate and Congress. Nothing revs up the old propaganda machine like a hate on for the Republicans.

Funny how every time Bush faces elections, he comes out smelling like a rose. He only needs a couple more seats in the Senate to get 60, which will give him power to squash the Dem log jamb and get a bunch of business done which the Dems have been holding up. He just might do it.

It's so easy to praise Bush\Blair for taking Sadam out of Iraq when you guys spent all your life in North America..Did you guys know that America was mostly hated before 9/11, not only by Muslims in Muslim countries but Rusians,..chinese..Hindus in India.
Try to be on other side for minute and think about it than you will know who is biggest monster..Eveyone knows it's not only Bush but all American Gov., administration is part of the game.......Sadam was monster for sure but who helped him to become monster...

In the end..How many people like me and you need to be killed before so called freedom and democracy is brought..Sometime, certain countries operated\run better by dectator like Saddam..and democrocy is brought thru education..not Cluster bombs..oh my god..
sad..so sad..

Are you a Russian?
What you say is not true.
I didn't spend all my life in NA. I was born in one of those countries where the soviet tanks brought the disaster that was communism. I never hated US, and I don't hate it now. I think that even now, with the catastrophe that is Bush, is still much better than any communist or religious country.
I only think that Bush is a very bad president. However, seeing the latest US polls, I think the real Americans will take back their country from the neo-cons and religious extremists.
And I still hope that Bush will end up in prison for what he did (latest news:

Just because this guy has a nobel prize in literature doesn't mean he knows squat about the world's geopolitics. I think Bush and Blair should be given the Nobel Peace Prize for taking Saddam out.

geopolitics. I think Bush and Blair...
George W. Bush didn't have a passport until he became president.
You'd think someone with aspirations of controlling the most powerful country in the world would have stepped outside the US.
It's not like he couldn't afford it...

Here's the lie to the American people.
From the 2003 State of the Union.
The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa. http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/01/20030128-19.html#

Impeachment.

Today:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Vice President Dick Cheney's former top aide testified that President Bush authorized the release of parts of a classified report on Iraq to rebut criticism of the case for the 2003 invasion, federal prosecutors disclosed in documents released Thursday.

The information did not name CIA agent Valerie Plame, whose 2003 exposure triggered an investigation that led to the indictment of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

Libby is charged with perjury, obstruction of justice and lying to FBI agents investigating Plame's exposure. Her outing came just days after her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, had publicly questioned Bush's assertion that Iraq had sought uranium from Africa for a nuclear weapons program, prosecutors in Libby's case told a federal judge. (Watch what the court document says Libby said about Bush -- 3:05 (javascript:cnnVideo('play','/video/politics/2006/04/06/ensor.bush.libby.leak.cnn','2006/04/13');))
Wilson's account of a 2002 trip to Niger to investigate the Iraqi uranium allegations "was viewed in the Office of Vice President as a direct attack on the credibility of the vice president (and the president) on a matter of signal importance: the rationale for the war in Iraq," special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald wrote. (Read the court papers -- PDF (http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2006/images/04/06/govt.response.pdf))

We watched an excellent documentary today, The World According to Bush. Great documentary. Show's Bush's incompetency, and the goons/yes men/brain trust he's surrounded himself with.

I'm reading "All the President's Spin" by the founders of Spinsanity.com -- insightful book about how the recruitment of brilliant PR and advertising people by the Bush puppetteers has lulled the media (and the populace) to sleep with insinuations, subtleties, and implied meanings. They are basically selling their foreign and domestic policies like soda and beer with carefully staged media events (remember "Mission Accomplished"?) and carefully-worded appeals to basic human emotions.

He and his ilk should definitely be impeached, and likely charged with treason. It's absolutely insane what they are getting away with down there.

Yes, all of us are dupes, not intelligent enough to determine fact from fiction (except Tom, of course).

I would love to watch Bush and Blair on trial in front of the international community on my Sony 55" TV.
The "you are with us or against us" mentality of Bush and his henchmen is akin to an argument between two kindergarten children.
Both on trial or both shot repeatedly with surgically removed hemhroids would do the trick.
