Resolutions Against The "Way Forward"

Why are the Congress and Senate... both repub and dem... bothering with these resolutions? The arrogance twins have already made it clear they're going to do what they want and don't care who says what so what's the point? At what point do we drop the charade?

We do not require symbolic action.... we require real action.

I think it's time to impeach, arrest, get some sane people behind the wheel.

I agree. These "resolutions" further the disfunction of the US Govt and the World sees it as weakness. If the Democratic controlled Congress had any balls, they would stop funding the thing and force withdrawal.

I agree, GW has committed offenses that could be viewed as impeachable and would support such actions. However, considering the current disfunctional unit called the US Govt, this action at this time will only further embarrass this great country.

I don't usually agree with you, W...but this time you are 5 x 5.

Not only do I think an impeachment would do unnecessary damage to our country...the guy who would take office scares me a hell of a lot more than the guy there now.

As such, if George W. Bush has committed a crime against peace by planning, preparing, initiating, and waging the war in Iraq (and, I would argue, he has), then any nation could arrest him and prosecute him. Now, practically speaking, most nations will not arrest any government leader during his term of office, but that is a policy decision, not a legal constraint. Slobodan Milosevic, remember, was indicted by the Hague war crimes tribunal while he was still president of the Yugoslav Republic. So there is no legal obstacle if a nation wanted to arrest, prosecute, and convict Bush and other members of his administration for crimes against peace.
