1. Now THAT is a poll question. n/t

[Occulus]

2. Read the article, too.

In fact, I do believe the article itself belongs in LBN, if it's not there already. I'd say a Dem candidate supporting a criminal investigation into the reasons for Iraq War is big, big news.

edit: nevermind. It was posted yesterday.

3. WOW,Way to go Clark!! Vote on this NOW!

[Lorien]

9. Done n/t

[Journeyman]

4. The phrasing of the third option was best. . .

"I'm not sure, but I think an investigation would help."

This is one of the first times I've seen an on-line poll give the edge to those who doubt the pRetzeldent

[Occulus]

5. not only that

but if you look at the results, 59% either believe there was a crime committed or that an investigation should be done.

THAT means Bush is toast, IMO. EVERY Dem candidate needs to raise this question, along with pertinent evidence.

6. How about a moderator pins this at the top??

Yes!! Clark!!

[MODemocrat]

7. He lied in order to start this war, I believe he committed a crime

Not only did he lie, he totally mislead the leaders of our country to get their approval, and by tying September 11 to Osama Bin Laden. No one else in history has ever been so brazen, arrogant, and had the news media propping them up; and covering for them 24 hours a day. He needs to be called to answer these unanswered questions, and show at least a small amount of respectibility. :thumbsdown:

8. Lying about a war is terrible, but is it illegal? (nt)

nt

[Lorien]

11. I think it's illegal for a president

to knowingly lie to Congress (impeachable offense at the very least).

[Mairead]

15. Yes, it is

[IHOP]

10. Is this the same Wes Clark?

As for the political leaders themselves, President Bush and Tony Blair should be proud of their resolve in the face of so much doubt

[OneTwentyoNine]

14. Yeah,maybe Wes doesn't like being had by Chimpboy and Blair...

Snip
"Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark says it is up to Congress to determine whether President George W. Bush's march to war in Iraq amounted to a criminal offense.

Asked if misleading the nation in going to war would be criminal, Clark told reporters, "I think that's a question Congress needs to ask. I think this Congress needs to investigate precisely" how the United States wound up in a war "that wasn't connected to the threat of al-Qaida." Snip

There was an onslaught of bad information out there trying to persuade Americans that the threat was there. I'm anti-war under most circumstances, but at one point Colin Powell had me worried with his speech to the UN. The terrorism of our govt. works pretty well, wouldn't you say? Especially when they have (formerly) respectable people out lying to the world.

[number6]

13. yes, up to 51% now

:kick:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

16. 51% yes 41% no 8% don't know but investigation should help..that makes

59% wants investigation

[mmm]

17. this is a pleasant surprise

[IHOP]

18. Questions, lots of questions.

There are a lot of un-answered questions left behind about Clark in the Balkans. There is one I would like to ask him also. Like if that letter that Howard Dean wrote Bill Clinton on Bosnia that surfaced last week came from him via the Clinton Library?

[Robbien]

21. This thread is asking do you think Bush warmongering is wrong

Since your post is standard republican propaganda, it seems as if you do support that miserable failure. In addition, you seem to want to bash democratic candidates. If so, you are in the wrong forum.

[lovedems]

19. 51% yes, 8% uncertain. With nearly 60% sure or questioning, there should

definately be an investigation. It is the will of the american people. Oh well, so is keeping over time, but bu$hco. doesn't seem to care.

[brainwashed_youth]

20. Man

Clark just continues to impress me. That's why, and I know this belongs in the primary forum, I have decided to endorse Wesley Clark for president. He has proven himself a great leader time and time again and it's time for him to get the commander-in-thief out of office

[PVnRT]

22. 51% Yes at 1:55 p.m. eastern time

25. Results as of now...

Wesley Clark is calling for a congressional investigation of whether President George W. Bush's march toward war in Iraq involved anything criminal. Do you think Bush committed a crime in his march to war?

26. Yep, that checks with how it was when I voted just now.

51 yes to 40 no, with 8 percent not sure.

Does this reflect the mood of America, overall? One can only hope...

[never cry wolf]

27. Nice find, nice post

Still at 51%.

31. Okay, I voted yes, too.

But what is the background of the pittsburgh channel? How widely is this viewed? Will everyone around Pittsburgh see this, and talk about it?

Just curious, not critical, here.
