Recently,
a congressman (Kucinich) presented a list of 35 articles which every single one would be enough to impeach Bush. Here are some few extracted highlights (as I didn't find a nice summary anywhere):
- Torture: secretly authorizing and encouraging the use of torture against captives
- Geneva convention: imprisoning children (at least 2500)
- 911: obstruction of the investigation
- War: illegal invasion of the iraq, without a declaration of war, in violation of the UN Charter and in violation of the requirements of HJRes114
- Global warming: systematically undermining efforts to address global climate change
- Katrina: failure to respond to a civil emergency
- Constitution: creating secret laws
- Surveillance: secretly and illegally spying on american citizens
- Deception: making people believe 911 was planned by Iraq,
- then making them believe Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction
- misspending funds to secretly plan and start an illegal war
- forging the number of US troop deaths and injuries
- illegal creation of permanent U.S. military bases in iraq
- exposure of classified information (Valerie Plame Wilson)
- providing immunity from prosecution for criminal contractors in iraq
- misspending of U.S. taxes for US contractors in iraq
- illegally detaining persons without charge (U.S. citizens as well as foreign captives)
- not providing troops with body and vehicle armor
- ignoring intelligence warnings of planned terrorist attacks in the US prior to 911.
The original list is longer, the complete one with details and evidence and references
can be found here (PDF). It's a shame that probably nothing will happen to Bush anyway. Especially if you compare that Bush did all this and caused the death of now several hundred thousands of people in iraq alone without getting impeached and that Clinton was, because he got a blow job. Not impeaching bush sends out the message to the next president and every politican that you can do whatever you want to without fearing any consequences.
Oh no! Not that! D:
