Now that Patrick Fitzgerald has a website (not a blog, thanks Andrew Sullivan), most of America can assume we have indictments coming down the pike next week.
Now, Americanlogic doesn't want to give the loony right a stroke but if Fitzgerald widens the scope of this matter to include a broad conspiracy charge including a false case for premptive war then we could be talking about, yep that's right: IMPEACHMENT proceedings.
Believe it or not, I wouldn't want to see it happen. This country could not handle another impeachment of a sitting president. I am NOT saying this shouldn't be done, i'm simply saying it could wait till a majority of troops are back from Iraq. This could be the second time in American history that the rabid left will be vindicated (um, Nixon).
Americanlogic doesn't believe in premptive war for ANY reason. This is not the American tradition. Some things are worth preserving. If this man child of a president sent men and woman to war based on what amounts to a lie, there will be a political coup and the GOP will not survive despite an onslaught of spin by the theocratic base. Bush would be impeached and convicted of the gravest of offenses: starting a war for the hell of it.
Where do the Dems fall in this equatio? Let's remember they gave this credit card president a blank check without serious debate. It took a former ambassador to start any kind of debate on a first in American history: premptive war. Principled conservatives/liberals there were few.
A respected blogger once said that this country will survive Bush's presidency. I'm having my doubts.
If anyone can convince me we haven't been at a lower point in American history, let Americanlogic know via email or comment.
