Our accidental president has set a track record for ineptitude. That record runs the gamut from domestic economic disaster to international quagmire. With his propensity for tinkering with the truth, he should be impeached.
Hanging over his head is that historic question, “What did the president know and when did he know it?” Of course, the question itself assumes the president knew something and that may itself be a bit of a stretch.
There was that abortive search for the nonexistent stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. Then the president claimed Saddam Hussein “sought significant quantities of uranium in Africa” and laid he blame on George Tenent. In Harry Truman’s day, “The Buck stops here.”
The president relied on at best questionable and at worst false information to carry this country into war. That’s evidence enough to initiate impeachment proceedings.
If that information was false and a bunch of kids were killed (and are being killed) in the Iraqi dust bin, there are grounds for impeachment. The president may be impeached for “treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” If a member of my family was one of the dead because of fraudulent intelligence, you can bet I’d believe that loss rises to the level of “high crimes.”
Impeachment is more than appropriate. Let’s get the truth.
