This is why I support Impeaching this president
Edited on Mon Aug-15-05 12:32 PM by whosinpower
It isn't because 1853 US servicemen have died in this war.
It isn't because an estimated 100 000 Iraqi civilians have been killed in this war.
It isn't because the US is inadverantly creating an islamic state.
Or that women's rights in Iraq are about to be disregarded as per Islamic law.
Or that Iraq's infrastructure is, in fact worse off now than in Saddam's days of rule.
Or that the invasion and occupation of Iraq has created a perfect university for terrorists to learn how to fight the US military.
Or that the price of oil, and the instability of the middle east has forced me to pay almost double when I fill up my gas tank.

I don't support the impeachment of this president because he is losing everything he stated would happen with the invasion of Iraq....creating a democracy...a stable state in the middle east, friendly to the west.

I support this impeachment because he started the war in the first place - lied about the rationale, gave us empty platitudes how wonderful it would be, and disregarded international laws and treaties pertaining to war.
No one is above the law. Not even the president of the United States.
Unrealistic - yes....but it is how I feel.

1. I agree...to me, the worst thing about all of it is that I was lied to.
The lies resonate more strongly with me than anything. I do not forgive lying.

4. I support the idea!
Unfortunately, the Chimperor has never said anything meaningful (platitudes excluded) thus making making it hard to catch him on a clear, direct (not by insinuation) lie.

But think how sweet it could be... :bounce:
