The time has long passed... but if John Dean is on target, the plausible deniability provided by Cheney could be the only thing to stick.

The time for war crimes tribunals and for George W. Bush and Dick Cheney to do the Saddam Shuffle is at hand.

FREE AMERICA

DIRECT DEMOCRACY

As John Dean points out, Bush/Cheney have broken the same laws Nixon did, only Nixon's actions did not cost the lives of over 4000 brave American men and women!

There is no honor in staying in Iraq especially since it has now been proven that it was all manufactured lies, disinformation and propaganda.

Yes, it is something many of us have long known but now there is hard core evidential proof that could be used in a court of law.

But John Dean, a Republican, makes an excellent case when asked by Olbermann the direct question about why impeach now instead of just riding out this presidency. He states about how infested our government has become during this presidency with deceipt and corruption and that it is going to take a drastic change of leadership in order to rid ourselves of these neo-cons that permeate every part of our government and this bureaucracy which it has become.

If indeed proof exists for Susman's book, by all means, impeach Bush NOW. I haven't read the book yet but will. But I saw on the news that two the CIA agents mentioned in the book are now changing their stories and denying there was any forged letter.

I later found out Suskind has the interviews with the CIA guys on tape. The fact that they've publicly recanted is no great surprise considering the huge can of worms they've opened and who they work for.

The only question now is, assuming is evidence is verified, will our congress have the courage to do the right thing and impeach now. Somehow, I doubt it and that's about the saddest thing I can think of right now.

I can see the neocons now, squirming at the thought and all the spin they'll put on the "mother of all witch hunts", but as John Dean said, the neos are a cancer that has permeated all elements of the government and they simply have to be culled out, eradicated and exposed for the slime they really are. Only then can our great nation become great again. But again, I'm just not holding my breath for that to happen. Are you?

As pollchecker reminded us

"As John Dean points out, Bush/Cheney have broken the same laws Nixon did, only Nixon's actions did not cost the lives of over 4000 brave American men and women".

Bush and Cheney are the most impeachable US executives in American history. If the House Democrats do not hold impeachment hearings soon it will be plain to all that they are unworthy of their office.

The failure of the House Democrats to hold Bush and Cheney accountable for the WMD Lies is unforgiveable. The only way any Incumbent House Democrat will get my vote is to hold Impeachment Hearings prior to the election.

No matter what Bush/Cheney Crimes evidence comes out the House Democrats will try to ignore it. It is time for some tough love for Incumbent House Democrats.

How can we make Impeachment Hearings Happen?

Arrayed against impeachment literally, is nearly the entire Democratic Party establishment as well as most Republicans. But the Democrats control Congress and can start Impeachment Hearings with a simple majority vote. The Dems have the votes.

Most rank and file Democratic voters want Impeachment but are being ignored by the Democratic Congress.

In addition, many of the so called progressive organizations are also in lockstep with the House Democrats (such as: MoveOn, ACLU & UFPJ ) and against impeachment. It will take a very hard fight to over come this and some real courage on the part of individual Democratic voters.

In Colorado we have actually been doing negative campaigning against all incumbent Democratic Congressmen who refuse even to discuss impeachment.

We have a Congressman Udall who is running to be a Senator from Colorado. He supposedly has a liberal background but is moving right as fast as he can. He avoids all protesters who want to stop the Iraq War funding and who support impeachment. The difficult aspect is that the Colorado Democratic Party, the Media, and most Colorado Progressive organizations are helping him avoid us.

Even so, the race for the US Senate from Colorado is statistically "too close to call", so we have a real chance to make a difference here. We believe that since the race is "so close" that we actually can stop Udall from winning and going to the Senate.

The way we are doing this is by doing "Negative Protesting" at our weekly impeachment events, at all of his public events and by constant "commenting" on all newspaper articles about Udall (nationwide). We only have to sway the vote of a very small percentage of voters to keep Udall out of the Senate. This is doable.

Up until about two weeks ago, the honking at our weekly events had quadrupled since January. Then we used much "tougher" anti-Udall language on our signs and the honking doubled again. So much so that the Denver Police came and threatened arrest if we continued to use "honk to impeach" signs and also threatened us with citations for "disturbing the peace". A strong indication that we are getting to the Democratic establishment and that the public is with us.

Regarding "commenting", after awhile you become somewhat adept at changing the subject of an article to relate it to Udall and why he shouldn't be a Senator from Colorado. It really stirs people up and gets the discussion going. If you all are interested in how we do that I can share a list of links to articles that we've commented on.

Given that impeachment advocates have worked hard to lobby Congress to hold hearings and have done so for many years with no results, we think it is time for all impeachment advocates to get tough with Incumbent House Democrats.

The House Democrats have ignored us for years. Unless we threaten to un-elect them with negative campaigning they will continue to ignore us. The only thing they care about is getting re-elected.

Unless Angry Liberal Democrats get off the couch and carry signs in front of all Incumbent House Democratic Congressmen's office with harsh language such as "UDALL is a Traitor to Our Constitution because he Refuses To Impeach"...
There Will Be No Impeachment.

It is up to you.

Tape: Top CIA official confesses order to forge Iraq-9/11 letter came on White House stationery

A forged letter linking Saddam Hussein to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks was ordered on White House stationery and probably came from the office of Vice President Dick Cheney, according to a new transcript of a conversation with the Central Intelligence Agency's former Deputy Chief of Clandestine Operations Robert Richer.

The transcript was posted Friday by author Ron Suskind of an interview conducted in June. It comes on the heels of denials by both the White House and Richer of a claim Suskind made in his new book, The Way of The World. The book was leaked to Politico's Mike Allen on Monday, and released Tuesday.
