Think an attack on Iran without Congressional approval warrants immediate Impeachment? K&R this.

[dave123williams]

That's it.

[Jack Rabbit]

1. K/R

Actually, we don't need the bastards to start another illegal war to impeach. The one we have will suffice nicely.

[MannyGoldstein]

2. It Warrants Impeachment Of Congress

They have refused to do their duty by removing the madman that would have pulled the trigger. The blood is on their hands, just as blood is on the hands of the owner of a tiger that lets it loose in public.

Hey, Congress, Senate, THIS IS NOT WHAT I'M PAYING YOU FOR!!!! You're NOT earning your taxpayer-funded salaries!!!! Could I get my money back?

Throw them all out and start over.

Too late then. :shrug:

[spanone]

7. this congress will hold hands and sing 'god bless america'

[Subdivisions]

8. Congress has already cleared the way for military action against Iran...

I'm pressed for time right now so I can't go look for the relevant legislation but it might be http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=hc110-362">House Resolution 362. Whether that's it or not, Congress has already opened the door and I welcome anyone who is inclined to provide the source for me.

[Patriot Abroad]

69. Nope: Whereas nothing in this resolution shall be construed as an authorization of the use of force

Maybe there's a different one floating around, but this one is quite specific in stating that use of force is off the table.

[Lasher]

71. I think they're going to get Israel to attack Iran

Then we'll have to back our ally - with great reluctance to enter into such an armed conflict, of course.

[rhett o rick]

9. Don't understand the question. There are already 35 good reasons to impeach

and Congress won't. Congress has already passed Kyle-Lieberman which Bush thinks is authorization to go to war. Most likely Israel will get into it with Iran first and we won't even have a choice but to defend them. Congress has made not one single move to stop him from war with Iran.

Besides, impeachment is never immediate. You think the general public would want Congress holding lengthy impeachment hearing if we are in WW III.

Every thing is in place for a war with Iran, marshal law and Congress placed in an advisory roll.

Have a nice day.

[jtrockville]

10. Didn't Congress ALREADY approve this?

[KoKo]

14. Yes...Kyle-Lieberman and some House Resolution that Veterans for Peace

informed Conyers about on Thursday. Conyers said he hadn't read the resolution. :eyes:

[Solly Mack]

11. a line in the sand.....and then the wind blows

[cayuga]

12. Absolutely.

And if the bushies knew that the country would go on a national strike if he attacked may sway his decision. We ARE the PEOPLE and we are the ultimate deciders. (if we so choose).

[KoKo]

13. By then it will be too late. Impeaching a Pres. during a third Strike would be

considered an "overeach." That's why they are waiting....because they know he's going to do something.

We need to Impeach some members of Congress for enabling him to go that far. Cold day in hell before that happens.

[Douglas Carpenter]

15. ABSOLUTELY....An attack on Iran would mean the destruction of the American economy

and that is one of its lesser concerns.

I think of war with Iran as the ending of America's present role in the world. Iraq may have been a preview of that, but it's still redeemable if we get out fast. In a war with Iran, we'll get dragged down for 20 or 30 years. The world will condemn us. We will lose our position in the world.

Zbigniew Brzezinski, Vanity Fair, 2006.

[bread_and_roses]

58. er...all that already happened

good to see the responses thus far down in this thread pointing out the obvious regarding impeachable acts and the pusillanimous Congress

[Douglas Carpenter]

73. nothing compared to what strangling the Gulf would do

Credible analyst agree that an attack would push oil prices to the $300 to $400 level. The very real likelihood of the destruction of much of the oil infrastructure and transport infrastructure in the Gulf region would have consequences beyond anything we have seen.

People will find it hard to believe that once oil was at only $146 per barrel.

[Imagevision]

16. Bush: we may get a message from Iran in the form of a mushroom cloud

I've already heard Condi state this bullshit song & dance bit.

[azul]

18. Exactly, Bush: we may get a mushroom cloud out of Condi's ass again.

Impeach these lying imposters for conspiracy to attack Iran for profit. Let the investigations delve past the state secrets and executive priviledge BS, and see what happens next.

[ladjf]

17. Without a doubt.

19. Yet another in the long list of "surely this will be the last straw" nt

52. My thinking as well.

That poor camel is buried underneath so many straws that he's probably a puddle at this point.

[BlueJac]

20. Congress is full of cowards..........

they will be hiding under a bed somewhere giving the thumbs up.......there is a terror alert and they are afraid. FOOLS & COWARDS!

[RNdaSilva]

27. As is 70% of the electorate...

who will sit back and let it happen.

"We the People..."

We the people put those people in power with our votes.

Where are the lions? Pelosi et al are kittens.

Cynical old vet here hoping for HOPE.

[Stevepol]

63. I would take issue with the word "electorate."

The word implies that it's possible for the American people to "elect" the people they want to represent them, but that ceased to be possible beginning in 2002, perhaps earlier.

When the vote is counted in total secrecy by private companies using proprietary software which is off-limits even to the elections officials and which is trivially easy to manipulate without the slightest possibility of detection, I'd say the electorate doesn't exist any more. All that exists is the ruling class, those with enough money and influence to get the insiders to massage the results. I don't believe a majority of the American people have ever been for the Iraq War or torture or limitless spying. A majority never voted for Bush. It is already true to a great extent and is becoming truer by the day that the people are better informed than the people who are supposed to be informing them.

[Mira]

38. Nice and appropriate visual, may I use it?

[TahitiNut]

61. Yes... and as such they perfectly represent a nation of cowards and criminals.

We got the government we deserve: the best that money could buy.

1 million or so people with torches, outside the white house will that do it?

[Oldtimeralso]

56. it doesn't matter what the populace thinks , so think good thoughts

[cyclezealot]

59. John Conyers has said, definitely yes.

Talked to our Democratic congressman's staff in DC. He said, under the War Powers act, the President has a certain time frame from which to act, if the US is attacked. / I reminded him, 'attacks' can be faked or provoked. All you have to do is read, Bugliosi's new Book, The prosecution of GW Bush for Murder." Bush once talked of getting Saddam to shoot down a UN plane, by placing false UN logos on the plane ,and provoking Saddam to start Bush's war.

[rhett o rick]

60. So what the hell is he waiting for? He has more than enough now. Again, what the hell is he

waiting for.

[mmonk]

62. That would be in the too late category.

Besides, the Congress approved aggressive actions which normally constitute an act of war anyway. It would be a much harder case to make than the things the administration has already done.

[AllyCat]

64. However, Shrub will use their vote declaring the Iranian army "terrorists"

to justify it. And Congress will shrug their shoulders and say "Our hands are tied!".
