If Not Now... When? ...Barbra Streisand Posted on October 26, 2005 If there was ever a time in history to impeach a President of the United States, it would be now. In my opinion, it is two years too late. We should have done this before the election to spare the country the misjudgment, the incompetence and the malfeasance of this administration. Let us remember that UN weapons inspectors asked for more time to search Iraq for WMDs. Two months into their search, the Director General of the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, stated that he found no evidence that Iraq had revived its nuclear weapons program since its elimination in the 1990s. And Saddam Hussein had begun to comply with the administration's demands. Why would you invade a country if there was still a chance for peace? Shouldn't war be an absolute last resort? We went to war because we were misled. And we should be angry because of the 2,000 American soldiers and the 200 armed coalition forces that have died. We should be livid because of the 15,000 American soldiers that have been horribly maimed and wounded. We should be disgusted because of the 30,000 innocent Iraqi civilians that have been killed and the 20,000 that are wounded after administration officials claimed that the US was going to liberate the Iraqi people.
When does it stop? It stops with the indictment and impeachment of this corrupt, power-hungry, greedy group of incompetent leaders. How many more have to die before this happens?
Impeachment will be difficult. People must understand the power of Congress. When one party controls both the House and the Senate, they control the agenda. They control what hearings are held, what legislation gets voted on, whether subpoenas are issued and which investigations can take place. And they control whether impeachment proceedings can be brought.
We were clearly deceived by this administration and now we find ourselves fighting a war under false pretenses. There was no connection between Iraq and 9/11, despite Dick Cheney's many assertions. There were no WMD's and the CIA had intelligence which corroborated that evidence. There was no nuclear threat contrary to Condoleezza Rice's "smoking gun becoming a mushroom cloud" scare tactic. And there was no yellow cake purchased from Niger by Iraq as former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, along with our European allies, confirmed. All of these misconceptions and falsehoods were relentlessly stated. But this administration disregarded the facts because they wanted to wage this war, as we learned in the Downing Street memo.
This President will go down as the worst president in American history. His administration ignored and neglected the threats before 9/11. His team was not prepared to act and react before, during or after Hurricane Katrina. His policies have contributed to the hastening of global warming, an ever growing national debt, a rise in poverty and an increasing disparity between the rich and the poor. We are watching the middle-class disappear under Bush's leadership. He has taken our economy from the largest surplus in U.S. history to the largest deficit in U.S. history. And he has appointed several people to important positions that are unqualified and loyal to a dangerous fault.
With the recent controversy surrounding the potential indictments and charges of perjury against senior members of the Bush administration, some have made comparisons to the perjury charge that was brought against President Clinton. Perjury under any circumstance is wrong. However, in President Clintons situation, the matter was concerning an issue that only adversely affected himself and his family. But the potential charges filed against Bushs closest advisors have put everybodys families and the national security of the United States at risk.
Thank god the media and the American public are finally waking up and asking the tougher questions now. I keep hearing Harry Truman's famous statement ringing in my brain, "I wonder how many times you have to be hit on the head before you find out who's hitting you?"

Suborning testimony hurts more than just WJC's family and WJC. Of course I'm still waiing for Maddy Albright, Donna Shellaiabandanarama and the rest of the crew paraded out to say they belived Will Jeff to appoligize for their mistake.
Looks like Babs still hasn't found that other Triangle of Zinthar!
Michael Savage is right about one thing. Hellywood "stars" haven't minds of their own. That's why they make a living at mouthing other peoples' lines.
There are exceptions, but we don't hear from them much.
Hey Babs, you horsefaced baboon, I saw you on Southpark the other night.
They certainly caught your good side.
(snicker)
The ability of human mind to convince itself of just about anything never ceases to amaze me. That goes for liberals AND conservatives, thats why I always question my assumptions..
"In a tight race with Mother Sheehan, it's Babs by a nose!"
I feel embarrassed for her because she is too ignorant to feel embarrassed for herself.
ROFLMAO! Yeah, to hell with the facts he got reelected BY THE PEOPLE who have the same facts you have and tend to see things a little different. We need this woman's quotes taken seriously about as bad as a new STD.
That was probably the line that ticked me off the most. She basically is saying that the people who voted for his reelection are ignorant and made a misjudgement. What a fool she is.
She is so wise. I don't know why she isn't running our country.
(kidding)
No captial when writing the word God?
What a simpleton.
I think this is the point which motivates the Hollywood rich. They feel guilt because they have so much, so they pretend to be concerned about the less fortunate. They don't seem to realize that much of the Islamofascist hate for Western culture is fueled by the bilge that flows out of Hollywood, and that rich Hollywood Jews are at the very top of the Islamofascist hit list. Wake up, Babs.
not to mention her using only non union workers to keep the middle class down.
and President Bill Clinton and Ambassador Joe Wilson...
