So the impeachment process is possible and/or can be used for criminal prosecution even after George W. Bush leaves office—giving the American people a sense of hope. Even though impeachment while Bush is in office does not seem likely due to the complicity of Congress relative to the illegitimate Iraq War, Kucinich’s efforts relative to impeachment and the efforts of hundreds of Americans relative to impeachment are not wasteful collectively. For example, such efforts are beneficial in that (1) legitimate accusations made in the course of Bush’s presidency appropriately and importantly inform the American people and the world of Bush’s abuses of power, corruption, and dishonesty; and (2) legitimate accusations, for example, in Dennis Kucinich’s excellent book, “The 35 Articles of Impeachment and the Case for Prosecuting George W. Bush,” may contribute to some impeachment and/or punitive process against Bush after he leaves office.

Dennis Kucinich is my role model. Kucinich is simply the best. Congressman Kucinich has, in any case, done invaluable, noble, and exemplary work in pushing for impeachment so vigorously and single-mindedly.

I think Bush should be impeached but there is something more important. If we impeach him, the fact that our judicial system is now so slanted towards the right that Bush could easily get acquitted. And more than likely the nation would vote very republican in the next election.

But a truth and reconciliation commission would serve to destroy the Bush legacy and name. This just might lead to a turn back against republicans for the next generation. Thus putting the people back in charge of this nation.

Bush cannot be sent to any international court, neither can anyone Bush decided shouldnâ€™t be there.

In fact, Bush has made it clear that, even military action will be taken if he decided that someone being held in an international court should be released, and the court doesnâ€™t want to release them.

When will Americans realize we are being controlled by the biggest terrorist organization in the history of the earth; the US Government, the very enemy of the people, the earth and all of mankind.

Hi thanks for the article I find every thing “swings” except the notion Bush is having a good time while the war goes on being devil’s advocate .pun intended
Kennedy was having a good time(partying bringing Jazz to the White house ) during the threatning ofCuba risking nuclear war and Vietnam continuing the oppression .etc. Roosevelt I’m sure was also partying during World War 2

Just because a “world (mis) leader” is smiling and having a good time at any particular time doe’snt mean he or she is not concerned .
Thanks for making the world a more peaceful and joyful place despite the international rulling class.yours in struggle Orion****

Ditto with Ed..what is it that Sherlock Holmes used to say?
“whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth” That said, the Democrats being culpable is not that improbable but for the very ‘faithful’…

Agree with Ed. It explains why there is no Impeachment action … they’d all get dragged in to it. They made bad, unethical, and illegal decisions while under the influence of a panic. ALL of them. To review their mindset, listen to the current rantings of someone like “Dadgellena” — so scared they make no sense whatsoever. Fear, fear, panic, panic, I’m scared mommy! That’s the state of mind. Scared of what? Now in WWII we faced country sized budgets and a realistic fear of invasion, yet these cowards did our parents and grandparents a disservice — in WWII we pulled together, we stood up — now, facing a small group with a budget in the 10’s of millions who could MAYBE kill 3,000 people every 5-10 years! The US buckled under fear. ‘Fraid to fly! Hell my dad got on a troop carrier when U boats where stalking the oceans and THEN flew around France when you could see people were shooting at you! What f**ing cowards this modern American is now. Chief among the cowards… our government representatives. Those not afraid are USING the fear. A real leader used to say, “You have nothing to fear but fear itself.” now it is “Boo! Do what I say!”

Before 9/11 Nancy Pelosi knew of the illegal wiretaps, she knew and discussed the torture. Can conspiracy or other charges be filed against her and her other coconspirators? A grand jury hearing, a trial, either would bring out witnesses, grants of immunity and lots of fodder for books.

This article deals with the same subject, at least halfway through or so.

It’s enough to make a person WANT to BECOME a DA…

The parent could petition, along with the help of many others, the state or county district attorney to bring charges. Good luck, though. It’s a rare DA who will put his career on the line by bringing charges against a president.

But all it takes is one.

In his book Bugliosi contends that Bush can only be prosecuted after he leaves office and it would take the US attorney General or an Attorney General of a specific state to prosecute him for those lives lost from that state. Definitely a great read. He lays it all out for any prosecutor who would go after Bush.

While this one charge alone should be sufficient, inspite of all the evidence of the facts, the American government does not have the ethics to prosecute George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and a host of others for their war criminal conduct of deliberately and maliciously creating a war that has unnecessarily taken the lives of over 4,000 American soldiers.

Zach,

that’s an interesting though assuming McCain doesn’t win and give him a blanket pardon ala Ford and Nixon.

Could the parent of a dead US soldier have their state or county lay charges of murder against Bush after he leaves office?

Impeachment? Truth and reconciliation commission? Never mind that — haul George Bush into a court of law, part 2…

Vincent Bugliosi, a man of 73, has constructed his case for prosecuting Bush for murder with the passion of an idealistic college student. Surely the rest of us are capable of catching one last wave of Bush & Co. outrage….
