Kucinich's Impeachment Movement Against Bush Gains a Spark of New Life: One Can Hope

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT
by Meg White

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is stepping back from her oft-repeated pledge not to pursue impeachment of President George W. Bush.  

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) introduced 35 articles of impeachment against Bush last month and 3 articles against Vice President Dick Cheney last year.  Both resolutions were referred to the Judiciary Committee with no further Congressional action.  This time, however, Kucinich said he would introduce new articles if the ones he brought forth last month went nowhere, as was widely expected.

Kucinich introduced a single article of impeachment against Bush this afternoon titled, Deceiving Congress with Fabricated Threats of Iraq WMDs to Fraudulently Obtain Support for an Authorization of the Use of Military Force Against Iraq.  Kucinich opened his resolution with the following words:

"Yesterday in the House, we had a moment of silence for the troops. Today it is time to speak out on behalf of those troops who will be in Iraq for at least another year, courageously representing our nation while their Commander in Chief sent them on a mission that was based on falsehoods about the threat of WMDs from Iraq."

Pelosi's comments only briefly brought new hope to the impeachment movement.  The Speaker said this morning that she expected the Judiciary Committee to hold impeachment hearings, though she hinted that even if the resolution passed through committee, it would have little chance on the House floor.  However, after Judiciary Committee Chair John Conyers (D-MI) received the new resolution this afternoon, he said he was unsure as to when or what type of hearing would be held on the matter. 

Conyers has said previously that he would consider holding impeachment hearings after the presidential election.

Thank you, Congressman Kucinich, for not giving up!! If this nation survives it will be because of your dauntless courage.

While Obama and others (like Pelosi and Reid) plot some kind of half-baked partisan 'strategy', you (and a handful of others) have been true to the pledge you took to 'protect and defend' this country's Constitution. Like you, I would much rather have our country governed by our written--and ratified--Constitution, than by the selfish interests of those too evil, too stupid, and too cowardly to do their sworn duty.

WE DO NEED A PRESIDENT LIKE DENNIS KUCINICH!

NEVER GIVE UP

I hope there is a glimmer of hope that this criminal regime aka The Bush Crime Family, will have another opportunity to have its name tarnished, smeared, muddied, solied, and slimed before he leaves office. I also hope there a country with a spine that will persue criminal charges till his last breath. This SOB belongs UNDER the prison!!

While most Democrats sit around waiting for surrender instructions from their fascist masters, Dennis Kucinich is one of the few patriots left in Crongress.

A sincere THANK YOU to this brave American.

Go Dennis

Dennis is speaking as I write this. His impeachment case contains the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Are the other members of Congress afraid to act on the truth?
