Poll question: Would you support impeaching Obama for bombing Libya, if it also resulted in the Bush-Cheney Admin
being tried as war criminals?

1. These two scenarios are totally not comparable.

2. No, impeachment isn't supposed to be a farce or just because your party has a majority.
And if we can get Bush-Cheney into the right hands, that'll all take care of itself anyway! ;)

3. Like asking if you would serve up
your beat police officer (who has broken no laws but has annoyed a lot of people), to serve a long jail sentence, just to be able to incarcerate the murderous mobster who has always managed to elude the law.

5. Only if we can impeach FDR for the Japanese internment camps ...
at the same time.

And every President involved in Korea and Vietnam ...

And ... Grenada ... and ... fill in the blank.

6. I voted no
He shouldn't be impeached, even though he is wrong.

8. If that is what it took to have our country return to the rule of law, I would
consider it. But you are talking about two different events and therefore, two different issues unconnected. In regards to the bush administration, it does not appear we will return to the rule of law.

9. Ridiculous question. Bush-Cheney lied us into Iraq.
Whether or not you agree with what we are doing, President Obama hasn't concocted a basket full of lies to facilitate taking action against Libya.

10. The world of international law is a mystery to us all
apparently.

11. If you call Bush and Cheney war criminals you are also calling Obama one.

12. Apples to Oranges.
This action is similar to the 1999 Kosovo action. Clinton took a lot of undue heat on on that one, but it was definitely needed and justified. How dare he bomb Christians to defend Muslims.:sarcasm:

13. The whole United States government should be impeached.

For crimes against humanity while they all continue to get rich.

16. No.
but was thinking same thing as post#14.
Key question for me is this for oil (again),
or is it for saving innocent Libyan lives?

18. Yes. And these impeachment/war crime convictions should have started back
during the Vietnam war (The Gulf of Tonkin Incident) and Reagan's Iran Contra bullshit. Leaders are like 2 years olds. Give them an inch, they take a mile. If HE got away with it, so can I! It's total BULLSHIT. If we don't stop it, it will NEVER END. Ever. Look what the idiot-in-chief and Cheney did.
