Nancy Pelosi, You Must Impeach! The Truth About the Wars Will Guarantee the Votes

When people who honestly believe a lie
learn the truth, they will either cease believing,
or they will cease being honest.

Speaker Pelosi, President Bush could have achieved his goal of “regime change” in Iraq quickly and without the violence of war. Saddam Hussein offered, weeks before his country was invaded, to leave Iraq and go into exile. President Bush withheld this offer from public view—and refused it. Nor did the President need to invade Afghanistan to apprehend Osama bin Laden. On five different occasions, George Bush refused a standing offer from the Taliban to surrender Osama bin Laden—three times before 9/11 and twice thereafter, again without public disclosure.

No, the military engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan are not directed against terrorism. They are territorial in nature. Mr. Bush intended from his first days in office to invade the two countries: as early as late January, 2001, his Administration was developing the decisions and beginning the preparations for both military incursions. 9/11 was in the distant future, so the conflicts cannot be exercises in counter-terrorism, as the Bush Administration frequently and dishonestly insists. They are premeditated wars of unprovoked conquest and occupation.

Madam Speaker, if you know this, and if you continue refusing impeachment, then you are a criminal accomplice in violating the trust of the American people—and in violating both U.S. and international law.

If you do not know this truth about the wars, Madam Speaker, you must learn its details and embrace it, and then you must seek with dispatch and justice to impeach George Bush and Richard Cheney.

1. Will she help us, after we've called her a traitor and a coward for the last several months?

Was this brilliant strategy on our part?

3. Oh yes

blame the victim (those that believe the Speaker of the House has an obligation to do their duty, and to perform their function as defined by the Constitution, as in "Checks and Balances").

So you actually think Nancy Pelosi has infantile characteristics, and because some people called her names, now she's just not going to play?

How ridiculous!

2. Learning and embracing details is painful.
