The Tip of the Iceberg

First of all, I got this image from Informed Consent, wherein Juan Cole has written a very concise and illustrated review of the series of events that led to the U.S. invasion into Iraq, and the deliberate lies that took us there. It all revolves around the fraudulent Niger yellow cake story. Cole admits in this piece that he has no idea where the original artwork credit belongs for this image, is in fact all over the internet right now, but would be happy to give such credit, if the artist comes forward. I concur, and would do the same.

I am putting this image up for two reasons: first, to direct my readers to this website, as it really tells it all. It's so simple, really. And, the case for impeachment is so strong, that it would behoove our government, the democrats now running Congress, to initiate impeachment proceedings. Or, at the very least, begin a very concerted investigations effort, complete with subpoenas, to get to the bottom of what our American soldiers are dying for, being maimed for, why Iraq is in grip of death and ruins, and why the world is a less safe place now, as a direct result of this ill-advised and poorly waged war. To do anything less would serve only to act with some degree of complicity in this felonious debacle, thereby diminishing even further the already diminished credibility of the U.S. around the world.

I appreciate that the democrats are using their Congressional powers to hopefully force the dubya administration to withdraw/redeploy? the troops sooner, rather than later. But, that is a separate task. Investigations and impeachment must also be undertaken. Makes me wonder...... Can a president who is in the process of being impeached have the legal authority to pardon those who were complicit in the act for which he is being impeached? If that's the case, then that is just one more reason to initiate impeachment proceeding RIGHT NOW.
