Is Bush Eyeing Military Options in the Middle East?
Malcolm D. McPhee of Sequim, Washington in his Letter to the Editors wrote:
"This is not a minor indiscretion on the part of the president. It is an international war crime to fabricate intelligence to start a war not otherwise justifiable in international law. We have seen the continuing and unnecessary sacrifices of our military in Iraq. What this president has done will have long-term adverse effects on generations of Americans to come."
Future generations have been saddled with a staggering debt of almost $10 trillion to pay off.

Washington State Gets Serious on Impeachment; Take the Message to Your State!
That message is impeachment. No Senator Harry Reid, No Speaker Nancy Pelosi, you are both wrong when you state that impeachment is a political decision to be reached or, in this case, ignored by elected representatives.
Read the Constitution and you will see that a different standard applies. A chief executive and vice president take oaths to preserve and defend the Constitution. They take oaths to see "that the laws are faithfully executed."
When those oaths are breached by the commission of "high crimes and misdemeanors" then, Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi, the issue at hand is not political to be decided by expedient. It is far more serious than that. It involves the very life blood of the country since breaches of egregious misconduct suck the very existence out of the Constitution and the fabric of democracy itself.

Message to Impeachment Critics: It is Necessary Now!
We experienced hands know better. This is not the course to traverse and we are dealing with individuals who, well intentioned though they may be, just don't understand the blunt realities and mechanics of politics as we do. Hence they rush off and present scatter shot arguments about removing Bush and Cheney from office.
If they only could trade places with us and possessed our experience and expertise. They would then see the light!
So this line of thinking goes. So it persists as impeachment continues to be skirted save the voices of a few, such as Congressman Dennis Kucinich.
