I totally agree. I saw it coming from Day #1. It was SO obvious Bush wanted a war. The U.N. thing was a chirade (it was so transparent it was disgusting), there was no credible evidence of WMDs or a link to A.Q., etc. Most people either seem to have forgotten how repetitively the administration hammered these two reasons for going to war over and over and over and over. Either that or they're simply sick of hearing about it. Dunno which.
As soon as U.S. troops had closed within artillery range of Baghdad, I knew there were no WMDs. If Hussein had them, he'd have used 'em either against the troops massing on his border prior to the actual invasion or CERTAINLY against troops encircling his capital. I suspected it was B.S. up to that point. Once it got to that point, I knew it with a certainty.
Impeachment at this point would only do Bush a favor by getting him out of office before this all blows up in his face. Right now I bet he's sweating bullets counting down the days until the next administration hoping to salvage anything of his legacy. He's undoubtedly hoping that the looming recession/crash at home and outright eruption of civil war in Iraq, or another terrorist attack don't happen before the clock runs out. That way he and his neocon nutjob buddies can point to the next administration and blame the "failures" on them.
Of course their memories will be short and they'll call the claims of the majority that the stage for failure was really set by THIS administration "bogus" and "lies" and "propaganda" and "liberal bunk". Never mind the fact that they'd done exactly this to blame the present administration's failures on the Clinton administration themselves. . . .
The idiocy of it all sickens and saddens me. It's so predictable.
