Impeach Bush for lies propelling U.S. to war


The Bush regime told lies to get support for its pre-emptive war against a country that posed no threat to our borders. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, introduced a "Resolution of Inquiry to demand the White House turn over all white papers, minutes, notes, e-mails or other communications kept by the White House Iraq Group (WHIG)."

"This group, comprised of the president and vice president’s top aides, was critical in selling the administration’s case for war," Kucinich said. "We now know that the administration hyped intelligence and misled the American public and Congress in their effort to 'sell’ the war. After 2,000 American troops have been killed in Iraq, it is long past time for this Congress to ask serious questions about WHIG and its role in the lead-up to the war."

If President Clinton could be impeached for lying about an extramarital affair, President Bush should face impeachment for lying us into this unnecessary war in Iraq, which has killed 2,000 of our citizens and vast numbers of innocent Iraqis.

I entreat all people of conscience to take a stand against this awful war and the people who fomented it. Support Kucinich's Resolution of Inquiry, and speak out against those who are ruining our country.
