5. Hell no, nuking Iran would put Bush on the same level as Hitler
China and Russia could then justify joining forces and attacking the United States and be on pretty solid ethical ground.

3. No, but I reject your premise
Because he wouldn't have the chance.

If he was under impeachment, then I doubt Joint Chiefs would let him fire off a nuke.

7. Impeachment doesn't happen overnight, to state the obvious
the impeachment murmers are starting to turn into an audible conversation, a discussion will come next. In this case the perp knows full well he is guilty of high crimes. So as the inevitable indictment nears, I believe he will have the temerity to do the unthinkable and declare martial law.

8. Can't He Just Be Arrested
Then we would be put out of misery. No hearing, no spinning, no RW nonsense--just throw him in jail and throw away the key.
