Impeach Bush

U.S. intelligence officials now say the administration was lied to by Iraqi �migr�s. That excuse for the U.S. intelligence failure in Iraq would be laughable were the circumstances not so appalling. It means Bush ignored all the cautions of career diplomats and intelligence experts in every branch of the U.S. government over the unsubstantiated word of Iraqi renegades.
Clearly, the administration, from the president on down, did not want expert advice and intelligence that would have undermined its excuse for invading Iraq. This was a shell game from beginning to end in which Americans’ legitimate fear of terrorism after 9/11 was almost immediately and cynically exploited by the neoconservative gang that runs U.S. foreign policy.”
Say it with me now, kids: Impeachment. A criminal lie. A criminal war. Thousands dead. The world’s trust blown away. Please tell me why this man is not already on trial?

And what is the temper of the Democratic Party base? They loathe Bush and everything he stands for — he’s become a lightning rod for dark and febrile passions in the same way Bill Clinton was (and is) for the GOP core. It’s not just his harebrained ideological nostrums for how to reorder America and the world. They hate him and it’s personal. They hate his frat-boy smirk, his phony fly-boy act, his cringe-inducing mangling of the language, his born-again sanctimony, even his Texas twang and his godforsaken, tumbleweed ranch where only someone as fence-post-dumb as W. would hole up in August. They hate him like their lives depended on it, lives that will certainly be unbearable if this bumbling extremist is reelected (or elected) in 2004.

This week, the Bush Administration admits there are no Weapons of Mass Destruction, but says that the information they had was planted by Iraqi agents because Saddam wanted America to invade his country and kill him. Yeah, of course. Also, Faux News (Wholly Without Merit) can’t do the math on American deaths in Iraq, Arnold gropes women against their will and laughs about it, Faux News tells it’s reporters to treat Arnold as a serious candidate (no word on whether they feel the same about Gary Coleman, who actually made a lot of sense on Crossfire) and the White House Press Corps are a bunch of whores.
