Former Powell aide says Bush, Cheney guilty of 'high crimes'

Blair too. And how bout Powell giving fake evidence at the UN? He knew it was BS and said as much beforehand.

It doesn't matter, because it isn't against the law?

Former Powell aide says Bush, Cheney guilty of 'high crimes'

A former top State Department aide to Colin Powell said today that President Bush and Vice President Cheney are more deserving of impeachment than was Bill Clinton.

Lawrence Wilkerson, who was chief of staff to then-Secretary of State Colin Powell, said on the public radio program On Point Thursday that "Bill Clinton's peccadilloes ... pale in significance" when compared to the "high crimes and misdemeanors" of Bush and Cheney.

Wilkerson did not directly call on Congress to begin impeachment hearings, and he brought up impeachment in response to a caller's question. Early in the show, however, he observed, "This administration doesn't know how to effect accountability, in my opinion."

Wilkerson's comments were first reported by pro-impeachment Web site AfterDowningStreet.org...

Unfortunately, this congress will not impeach Bush and/or Cheney, because the whole unravelling, from stolen elections, through 9/11 and the wars against Afghanistan and Iraq, will show them all to be complicit in some way or other.

Yeah, someone (Powell and Tenent come to mind first) should have said something... you're right there.

But it's still amazing to me how all the outrage from the rightist A2K'ers is reserved for those lote whistle blowers, but not for the ones who did the deceiving and got us into this mess.

Right. And Brandon knows that no one in America either watched or listened to Powell's speech so nobody drew any false impressions from the horse dookie.

Well, they can, but they expose themselves as the little obedient followers that they are.

There had been a general desire to get rid of Sadaam for many years and at least 3 administrations, yes, but the impetus for this war was from George Bush. This was his war. The Bush administration used 9/11 to amp up fear and support for this bogus war, they cherry-picked the intel, they sold it to the UN and the world. Nothing any of you rightwing clowns can barf will change that.

Baloney. Many, many, many people believed that Saddam Hussein was still developing WMD in hiding, and no sane person would have wanted that guy armed with nukes or bioweapons. Based on what was known at the time, invasion was the prudent course. You hint at duplicity by the Bush administration, but are never specific.

The US is the only country ever to use nuclear weapons and they are still using them in the form of DU weaponry (Depleted Uranium). During the Cuban missile fiasco they were prepared to enter a nuclear war without consultation with their allies; paranoia rules supreme in the US and if any nuclear capable country is a danger to world peace it is undoubtedly the United States of America … Saddam Insane would only have had to blink a nuclear eye and his country would have been vaporized by Israel and the US, he was no more a danger to world peace than is Iran.

You got it in one, well done!
That's exactly what I am saying, from where I'm standing and based on historical fact the US is a bigger danger to world peace than Iraq, Iran, North Korea or Afghanistan. It's only people like you who believe their own US fiction that propagate this bulldust, that's why the rest of the world is turning its back on you.
