IRAQ: Get out, and impeach Bush

Published on Feb 13, 2007
Recent polls have shown that a majority of Americans want the US out of Iraq and public officials held accountable for their actions. There must be no more funding for this ill-conceived and poorly executed war. In addition, legislators should be pushed to investigate the questionable case made for the war and the way it's been conducted.

All the evidence indicates that President Bush and Vice President Cheney deliberately misled Congress and the American public about Iraq in order to justify an illegal war. Over 3000 American troops and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians have died as a result.

Bottom line: This and other "high crimes and misdemeanors are grounds for impeachment.
