Is Biden About to Form an Alliance With Kucinich in the Quest for the Impeachment of Cheney?

By Wes Prescott

Dennis Kucinich may no longer feel alone in his quest to have the Vice President Dick Cheney --- and his boss, President Bush --- impeached. Kucinich introduced a privileged resolution on the floor of the House on November 6, only to see the Democratic House leadership adroitly manoeuver to effectively bury the effort in the House Judiciary Committee.

But it now appears that one of Kucinich's rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination Delaware Senator Joe Biden may throw his support behind Kucinich's impeachment campaign. As pointed out by John Nichols , during the last Democratic debate in Las Vegas, Biden was forthright about what should be done should Bush declare war on Iran without Congressional authorization.

"If he takes the country to war in (Iran) without a vote of Congress, which will not exist, then he should be impeached."

Kucinich had at the same debate insisted that impeachment is not an issue for the future--- it should be an immediate concern.

"It's called 'impeachment.' You don't wait. You do it now. Impeach them now"

5. Would you guys feel better if the Bush Admin did prison time instead?

I think that if Biden were elected Pres he would press criminal charges against the Bush Admin and send those bastards to jail. I've heard him in previous interviews say that Bush should be tried as a war criminal. If we elect Biden he's ballsy enough to actually do it! The hell w/ impeachment- it takes too damn long. They should be imprisoned. That gives me more satisfaction then impeachment any day!

This is just the kind of straight-forward talk that drew me to Biden.
