Is lying about the reason for a war an impeachable offense?

have involve = have to involve

Hey liberal, in those Bush quotes, all I have to say to you is this:

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD "IS" IS

Put that in your pipe and smoke it (but surely don't inhale).

As far as most Americans are concerned, Saddam had and used WMD and the ability to make more and perhaps has. Terrorists are working hard in this country with those very WMDs, rather than argue where are they - we had better find them quickly.

By the way, consider the source for the article, a man whose credibility has always been in question. John Dean is bogus IMHO, certainly not George Bush. How very like the left to paint this President as mendacious as Bill Clinton, they always drag the opposition down to their level with spin and lies. Mr. Dean is no exception.

"Frankly, I hope the WMDs are found, for it will end the matter."

But meanwhile, I want to get slobber all over the president because this is a good piece of jerky for the Dims to chew on and on and on and on.

And do you really think "it will end the matter?" Not a chance. The leftists are setting their own little verbal "land mines" and are trying to blow up the current administration.

The constitution says "high crimes and misdimeanors". That is pretty explicit that it is has to be a violation of the law. The framers didn't want presidents being impeached due to factions so easily.

We are letting our enemies frame the argument as usual.

Check out the number of articles and threads on the news sites including FR and see how many combine WMDs with "lie, lying" etc.

WMD headlines mentioning - "faulty intel, honest mistake, not found yet, we know he had them once so what happened to them" - are mighty scarce on the ground.

Especially seeing how they would need at least 15 GOP congress critters and 18 GOP senators to pull it off..

Is lying to Hiltler impeachable offense?

Hey, I was for the war strongly. WMD's or not. Saddam was a murderous thug who was destabilizing to the region, made us take up a dicey alliance with Saudi Arabia to counter him, and he needed to be gone.

However, let's not kid the kidders here. The administration before we went in talked like WMD's were pouring out of rooftops they were so vast in number.

They exaggerated. It is easier to rally the people behind WMD's than to say that our relationship with Saudi Arabia is a mess, and we are sick of being in bed with those thugs only to counter Saddam, and sanctions aren't working.

We had good reasons to go in. We just didn't have the intelligence on WMD's that we claimed we did. Our administration lied. All administrations lie. It's a fact of life.

What about the missiles that had greater than 62-mile range that were found? It was agreed by all that they had a range far greater than what was legal under the surrender agreement with Saddam.

Please -- the number one coward in the nation, John "I'm Scared of Getting Raped in Prison" Dean, is the last person to talk about liars in government.

I don't care if we do find WMD's. I also don't care which specific individual person takes over the government in Iraq. What I do care about is that, whoever takes over in that country, it is unlikely that they will fund or support terrorism against this country and its citizens any time soon.

That's true for all the other countries that have supported terrorism, communism, clintons, and all other forms of evil in the last century. I don't care what the guy's last name is, or his first name. I just want to make sure that they understand that bad acts have consequences.

If the democrats and other Bush-haters want to support dictatorships and human-rights violations, that's fine. As long as they don't put me and mine in danger.

What about all this stuff?

And I should add--

October 1998:Senate Democrats Signed Letter Urging Clinton To Attack Saddam Over WMDs, just posted today.

The liberals are truly desperate. They will try to console themselves with these kinds of accusations, but that's all it is.

Nobody else is buying it.

What does this jackass think was used on the Kurds after Gulf1?

So the impeachment balloon has been launched...

I'd agree that the WMD's became the football when pitching the war, but I don't think Bush ever really tried to sell the war in the sense that he had to build support at home.

The nation was, and is, supportive of the action. Bush simply did what he decided to do and acted as a leader. A refreshing change from the polling wieners of the Krinton years.

Fact is, America would've supported Bush if Saddam's only weapons were Daisy air rifles. Saddam is a terror supporter and that ain't setting too well with most Americans.

The WMD issue was simply the weakest point that the Left could criticize the adminitration on. For all of the millions of words written and broadcast on this topic, I'm confident that 99.9999999% of them originate in the brains of Bush hating Marxists. No such standards were required in calls for military action against Iraq during the Krinton years. In short, who cares?

This is only window dressing by lying whores trying to drum up customers.

Thanks. Needless to say, I am very disappointed: the writing betrays more anti-Bush feeling than stance on any kind of principle. Which is what led me to the suspicion of partisanship. My mistake, clearly.

What does this jackass think was used on the Kurds after Gulf1?

Or why we have Chemical Ali, or Dr. Germ, or Mrs. Anthrax...

How do you feel about this long winded attack from John Dean?
