mpeachment Time: "Facts Were Fixed."

Here it is. The smoking gun. The memo that has "IMPEACH HIM" written all over it.

The top-level government memo marked "SECRET AND STRICTLY PERSONAL," dated eight months before Bush sent us into Iraq, following a closed meeting with the President, reads, "Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam through military action justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."

Read that again: "The intelligence and facts were being fixed...."

For years, after each damning report on BBC TV, viewers inevitably ask me, "Isn't this grounds for impeachment?" -- vote rigging, a blind eye to terror and the bin Ladens before 9-11, and so on. Evil, stupidity and self-dealing are shameful but not impeachable. What's needed is a " high crime or misdemeanor." And if this ain't it, nothing is.

1. Great article by Greg Palast!....

<snip>

But in the US, barely a word. The New York Times covers this hard evidence of Bush's fabrication of a casus belli as some "British" elections story. Apparently, our President's fraud isn't "news fit to print."

2. Which crimes are impeachable?

And where the hell are the Dems? I don't care if they aren't the majority - they used to call press conferences. Why don't the big guns in the party get their asses on TV and shout this shit?

3. John Conyers

John Conyers, for one, has not been idle:

5. Blogs are meaningless.

Do you really think the average American reads Conyers blog?

Sunday talk shows. CNN. Foux for god's sake. That's where the spin comes from and that's where BIG GUNS need to be. Reid, Clinton, Dean, Kerry, Kennedy. People who are known by all Americans to represent Democrats with a big D.

8. He ain't just bloggin'

but does use the blog to communicate some of what he's up to, including trying to get the MSM to pay attention to some things, including rallying 88 members of Congress about the leaked memo.

4. I agree that the memo looks bad for Bush,

but this really goes along with everything else we already knew. This isn't the first thing to show he planned to invade Iraq well before it occured, and regardless of what happened in the UN

I hope I'm wrong and this leads to real action against Bush, but I fear that it will be ignored by most along with all the other evidence.

Maybe we'll ultimately reach a tipping point and this (or the next piece of evidence to surface) will lead to a change in attitude. It might also help that a large majority is now opposed to the war.

6. I agree, Dr Ron.

I think that most Republicans realize that Bush lied about WMD. Their reaction to any criticism is knee-jerk. Even before a dem finishes speaking, Republicans are thinking of how to defend themselves against the evidence. They try to create an alternate reality. They know alot about blind faith.

9. Bush is probably glad that he is out of the country for the next few days

...it will give Karl Rove time to conger up some lies to explain the memo. Memo was probably planted by Al Queda.

10. I would suggest "The intelligence and facts were being fixed...."

is a quote from Tenet, who of course is quoting what his boss told him to do.
