Senator Bob Graham on Sunday stepped up the rhetoric over the build up to the war in Iraq, suggesting President George W. Bush might be worthy of impeachment over the issue.

Mr Graham, a contender for the Democratic presidential nomination for 2004, accused the Bush administration of intentionally deceiving Americans about the scale and imminence of the threat from Iraqi weapons in the months leading up to the war. He also said the US administration operated under a veil of secrecy and had intentionally misinformed Americans about likely post-war costs and commitments.

Mr Graham said that if President Bush had been held to the same standards as former President Clinton, he would have also been impeached.

"What is the standard of impeachment?" he asked on NBC's Meet the Press public affairs program. "Clearly if the standard is now what the House of Representatives did in the impeachment of Bill Clinton , the actions of this president are much more serious in terms of dereliction of duty."...

4. Yep....he's the Man with the Plan

How can one not give Florida Senator Bob Graham their support for the Presidential nomination? He is blasting away at all that is evil in our White House and some of us are looking the other way....

Get with it people. Back the leaders who are fighting our fight. Let people know you like what Bob is doing for America.

[uhhuh]

2. I've noticed a lot of the time

That the headline of an article does not show the name of a presidential candidate when going after the chimp. Notice Graham is referred to as a chimpy critic, rather than using his name. I think a lot of candidates that are not well known may be getting marginalized by this tactic. I've noticed that they often have titles like," Democrats Attack Administration Policies", and such and then detail one or two Dem presidential candidates telling the truth about the chimp. No wonder a lot of people don't know who they are.
