Impeachment March on Washington Planned for September 24
Along with coordinated actions taking place in Los Angeles and San Francisco–probably in many other cities–this latest march on Washington is designed to draw attention to what millions of voters last November apparently didn’t notice. Or worse, didn’t care about.
What is taking place in Iraq isn’t a war, it’s an illegal invasion that was planned even before 9/11, had nothing to do with 9/11, and wasn’t based on anything having anything to do with WMDs. By the way, do you know how many Weapons of Mass Destruction it takes to kill an infinite number of Americans?
None.
Not very funny, huh?
Although anyone who has been paying attention to the endless string of lies coming out of the White House for the past four and a half years already knew that President Bush went to war against for Iraq without provocation, thankfully at last a smoking gun has finally not been quashed with attacks against patriotism. The Downing Street memo clearly shows that the Bush administration fixing intelligence and fact around policy. In other words, the policy was their desire to go to war, so therefore they used intelligence and created facts that supported that position.
Let’s reiterate what so many people seemed to have failed to notice or remember: This war was predicated on one fact and one fact only: Saddam had WMDs and was going to use them against the US. We didn’t invade his country and take it over because he was a bad guy. He was a bad guy back when the President’s father was involved in selling Saddam weapons. Was he any worse a bad guy the day we invaded? That’s not why we invaded Iraq.
It was because of WMDs. And how many did he have?
None.
Which brings us back to September 24, 2005. And the march for impeachment. Just in case you don’t remember, there wasn’t any march on Washington calling for the impeachment of President Clinton. In fact, the overwhelming majority of Americans saw that impeachment as a waste of taxpayer money and politically motivated. Because, remember, Clinton was being impeached because he lied about his sex life.
Where is the uproar in the so-called liberal media calling for Bush’s impeachment when he has lied about so many more things, things which have cost lives? It is almost a certainty that you haven’t heard about the march for impeachment on Fox News. That’s a no-brainer. But what about CNN, MSNBC, ABC?
What about CBS? The network so devoted in its hatred of Bush that Dan Rather engaged in a mean-spirited lying campaign to cost Bush the election.
Well, Bush is in the oval office and Dan Rather is gone.
That’s some liberal media.
You haven’t heard about the march for impeachment, just like you don’t see the Downing Street memo leading the network news broadcasts every night. You saw Monica Lewinsky every night for two years, why aren’t you seeing Matthew Rycroft, the author of the Downing Street memo every night?
Some may complain that this article belongs in the opinion section. It’s just my opinion that Bush should be impeached. “Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy. The NSC had no patience with the UN route, and no enthusiasm for publishing material on the Iraqi regime’s record. There was little discussion in Washington of the aftermath after military action.”
That quote isn’t my opinion. That quote is from the memo. And that memo was sent with these instructions: SECRET AND STRICTLY PERSONAL – UK EYES ONLY. And that memo was sent to the British Defence Secretary, the British Foreign Secretary, the British Attorney General.
And, yes, even British Prime Minister Tony “I think everyone else in the world is dumber than George W. Bush” Blair. In other words, pretty important stuff. Not my opinion. Cold hard fact. Why isn’t it being covered at the top of the broadcast every hour on the hour by the liberal media?
Maybe an even better question to ask is why is that ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox all broke into their regular programming to cover live the earth-shattering, all-important news event of the century, Michael Jackson’s verdict, yet none of those networks gave any kind of in-depth coverage at all to the Downing Street memo until Rep. John Conyers decided to hold hearings? And even then, it wasn’t the top news story of the day. (Probably there was a Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie sighting somewhere. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to see Diane Sawyer grill Pres. Bush on Iraq the way she grills celebrities on their sex life?)
Or, at the very least, it would be nice to see some coverage of the impeachment march on Washington. Unfortunately, however, it appears as though once again any case being made against President Bush is going to have be made through alternative media. Nowadays, that’s the only place you’re going to read anything useful or enlightening.
September 24, 2005. Washington. March to bring democracy to the United States. (We’ll worry about bringing it to Iraq later.)
