Should Bush be impeached for lying about WMDs?

There should defintely be hearings about his complicity in the matter.  Also, I agree with the other person regarding obvious, and blatant violations of the 4th Amendment by his administration.

Impeach Bush & Cheney

Of course George Bush should be impeached. Richard Nixon ans Bill Clinton were impeached for a whole lot less then this criminal Bush. This man has a laundry list of corruption. Look how his true self is coming out on the news about Donald Rumsfeld, Bush is a psycho.

I assume you are trying to smear Bush and lift Clinton by trying to draw a comparison to Clinton's Perjury (which is a FELONY, by the way) and the War in Iraq.\n\nYour implied argument is invalid, however. When did Bush lie? \n\nWMD's? The intelligence may have been inaccurate, but there was agreement that Saddam very likely had WMD's between USA, Britain, Germany and The UN/IAEA. Is it that hard to believe that a government that trained its scientists on tactics to hide illegal weapons programs from UN Inspectors would move his WMD's to a sympathetic neighbor in the face of a well telegraphed move against it?\n\nKatrina? Watch the videos again. Add to it the videos of Gov. Blanco informing Bush that the levies were holding AFTER THEY HAD ALREADY FAILED. Then you will have the whole story and realize Bush didn't lie.\n\nRemember, lying is a deliberate action of deception. You know, like telling a senate committee that you didn't have sexual relations with that woman when you know damn well you did.THAT WAS A LIE, a lie under oath. Ask Sharon Stone, or@l sex is still sex.

Actually, tough as this might be to accept there are a number of reasons...\n\n- It has not been proven that he lied\n- It has not been proven that he broke any laws\n\nContrary to conspiracy theories, a republican led congress cannot prevent an impeachment if either of the above occur, or prevent an investigation or judicial hearing should the democrats push for one.\n\nReality, take a deep breath and try to take this in, as we can assume the democrats would drive for this the second they felt they could, it is a fairly safe assumption that President Bush has done nothing that would warrant his impeachment.\n\nSorry to burst your bubble...

.Yeah, he's an A-hole.\nLest ask him to go away. The victims of 9-11 and the war are rolling over in their graves.\n\n\nArticles of Impeachment\n\nof\n\nPresident George W.

The reason President Bush has not been impeached is that he has not committed an impeachable offense. The liberals’ constant rant that he lied is in fact a lie. He acted on the same information that congress did when they authorized the war in Iraq. He did not lie under oath as Clinton did. In fact, his biggest fault is that he has been brutally honest and the liberals don’t agree with what he has to say. That doesn’t make it a lie. I wish the liberals would come up with a meaningful rant, but I don’t think they’re capable of it.

I totally agree with you but he would have to lie under oath to be impeached for his fish story. Here's a bigger reason: He swore to defend, protect and uphold the constitution but he is violating our constitutional right to privacy by tapping our phones. That's only the tip of the ice berg. This administration is the worst in American history.

I do not think that Bush lied about the WMD. They found mobile chem labs that had been cleaned down to the micro particles. If you had nothing to hide why would you have to go to that extent? Why are there indications that weapons were shipped to Iran right before we invaded? There are a lot more questions that can not be answered without bringing in WMD. Do I believe that there was as many as was made out to be? No I don't believe so. Do I beileve that there were WMD? Yes I do think that they were there. Look at what he was willing to do to his own people, and that can tell you a lot about a man. I believe that we should be in Iraq, and that was one of the best things that we could have done. The general Iragi public wants us there. They want their freedom, and me personally I would willingly give my life so that they can have the same chance that we have. If everybody was willing to work together to help everybody else out think about where technology would be today. We may have already colonized the Moon or maybe even Mars. Its the I hate Bush, and anything he does wrong that is tearing this country apart. What I hate hearing is Bush did this wrong, or Bush did that wrong. What about some ideas of your own? You want to hear the truth? Listen to Fox News sometime, and they will tell you the truth. Espeically the O'Reilly Factor, and Hannity & Colmes.

If Bush lied, the all of the leading Democrats lied, as well. the Democrats had the same intelligence the President had. They came to the same conclusions. Remember these quotes?\n\n"There is no doubt that . Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." \n-- Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, Dec, 5, 2001\n\n"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." \n-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002\n\n"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force — if necessary — to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."\n-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002\n\n"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." \n-- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002\n\nThese quotes - and hundreds more - can be found with a simple Google search. AND they were verified by snopes.com.\n\nNOW, if you have been paying attention to the news the last couple of days, declassified Iraqi documents are emerging that show Iraq did, indeed, have weapons of mass destruction. The also show that Iraq had deep ties to terrorism - including al Qaeda.\n\nThe liberals will scream and yell and say that the above paragraph is lies, fabrications manufactured by the Bush Administration. But the truth is the truth. Do the research for yourself. Don't blindly believe the libs.\n\nEDIT: planksheer - I NEVER said Saddam had anything to do with 9/11. He DID, however, have ties to terrorism and to al Qaeda. Come to think of it, the ONLY references I ever hear anymore about ties between Saddam and 9/11 come from guys like you who say guys like me believe it. I am telling you, we don't. Also, do you have an answer to all of the Dems all gung ho for war and saying Saddam had WMDs based on the same intelligence that Bush had???

GO FIGURE HUH? \n\nLets get this straight America - he lies about the reason to go to war, he lies about the leak, he lies about the wiretapping program, he lies he lies he lies, and he is still our President. \n\nClinton lied about a blowj*b, and he was impeached. \n\nWTF is America coming to???

President George W. Bush and his Administration has not\ncommitted any impeachable offenses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he can be impeached for high crimes and mistemeaners. So there would have to be a specific charge.  If he was given erroneous information and he thought it to be true, then it is not a lie.

I don't know why he hasn't been impeached yet, except for the total lameness of the Democrats. Imagine what the Republicans would have done to Clinton if he had done the things Bush has:\n1. Totally wrong about WMDs (I'm being charitable here, I actually think he lied through his teeth).\n2. Sanctioned torture.\n3. Sanctioned kidnapping of foreign citizens.\n4. Established secret prisons outside the US so he could torture the kidnapped foreign nationals.\n5. Established public prisons like Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo to hold people without trial, apparently forever.\n6. Used the NSA to spy on American citizens, contrary to law and the Constitution he swore to uphold.\n7. Lie about EVERY SINGLE ONE of the points above.\n\nHis claim: "I talk to God." I am sure he's talking to SOMEONE, but I don't think God told him to do all that.

I personally think we should have not allowed it to go on this far. He and his henchmen should have been impeached and thrown out of office when we all found out it was not the truth that we went to war to get the bad weapons out of Iraq. This was a blatant lie to the american people and should have been dealt with right then. But we have a wishy washy congress that is afraid to do the right thing for the American people and they should all be voted out in the coming elections

He wasn't, but as I said on an earlier question that cost me 10pts.,all Americans are liars so you can say whatever you want and don't have to prove it.The only WMD i know of works at the white house.

The Bush administration, in collusion with the most evil, corrupt and incompetent U.S. Congress in history, deserves to be impeached, or tried for high treason and crimes against humanity. If convicted, the should face a public firing squad.\nThe Republicans impeached Clinton for a helluva lot less than what George Bush, Big Dick Cheney, and Don Rumsfeld have done! Consider what they've done since 2000:\n\n1. Illegally and unconstituionally invaded another sovereign nation that did not provoke, threaten or attack the U.S.A.;\n2. Massacred tens of thousands of Iraqi citiens, including innocent elderly, children and women, for no justifiable reason;\n3. Initiated failed economic policies that have put American taxpayers trillions of dollars in debt, and will almost certainly create a severe economic depression or recession once they're out of office;\n4. Scared other countries into believing their only defense against this new "evil empire" - the United States of America - is to develop their own nuclear weapons;\n5. Tarnished America's reputation as a world leader and global peacekeeper;\n6. Dismantled environmental laws and regulations designed to protect the world's fragile ecosystem against permanent destruction and preserve the ecological balance necessary in nature for all of us (plants and animals) to survive;\n7. Turned America into a police state wherein citizens are presumed guilty until proven innocent;\n8. Lied to the American public and leaked information to the press whenever it conveniently fits their agendas;\n9. Run ripshod over the U.S. Constitution, assuming they are above the law of the land;\n10. Killed more than 2,500 U.S. soldiers (so far).\n\nThere are only two reasons Bush invaded Iraq: 1) to get even with Hussein for humiliating his daddy during Desert Storm; and 2) because Big Dick Cheney wants all that oil swimming underneath Iraq's sands so that he and his Halliburton buddies can get richer and richer and richer.\n\nPrediction: There will be NO WITHDRAWAL OF U.S.TROOPS until Cheney has a rock-solid, iron-clad arrangement in place, in collusion with the new Iraqi puppet government, to steal all of Iraq's oil.\n\nSurely Satan has reserved a special oil-soaked corner of Hell for these evil cockroaches, where they can spend their eternal damnation blaming each other for the mess they made of this world.\n\nCheck out the new blog book: BUSHWACKER!\nwww.blogger.com\nhttp://al-aback.blogspot.com\n\nThomas Jefferson once said: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." That time is NOW. It's time for "We the People,,," to get off the couch, put down the remote, and take up arms against an oppressive government that is not working in service toward its citizenry. \n\nBut, as long as politicians keep us distracted with trivial issues like flag-burning amendments, gay marriage amendments, and a MilqueToast immigration bill, they can continue to suck off the taxpayers' teats, enriching themselves and ruining the nation.\n\nMeanwhile, most Americans are most concerned about Britney Spears' new baby; maxxed-out credit cards; $3.00-per-gallon fuel for their $60,000 SUVs; "low prices -everyday" at WalMart, mostly for junk we don't need; and the latest rankings of their favorite baseball team. \n\nIt's time to take up arms against our scumbag politicians who have raped this country of its greatness and destroyed the fiber of the American people. Politicians play "Robin Hood in Reverse" as they steal from the poor to give to the rich, who - in turn - make generous (if not illegal) campaign contributions to keep them in office. Meanwhile, they neglect the needs of America's poor, homeless, aged, sick, disadvantaged, disabled, underprivileged, and hungry. \n\nIf we throw the crooked Republicans out, we elect the crooked Democrats. Only a full-blown Revolution will chang
