This House cannot avoid its Constitutionally authorized responsibility to restrain the abuse of Executive power.
The Administration has been preparing for an aggressive war against Iran. There is no solid, direct evidence that Iran has the intention of attacking the United States or its allies.
The US is a signatory to the UN Charter, a constituent treaty among the nations of the world. Article II, Section 4 of the UN Charter states, "all members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. . ." Even the threat of a war of aggression is illegal.
Article VI of the US Constitution makes such treaties the Supreme Law of the Land. This Administration, has openly threatened aggression against Iran in violation of the US Constitution and the UN Charter.
This week the House Appropriations committee removed language from the Iraq war funding bill requiring the Administration, under Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 of the Constitution, to seek permission before it launched an attack against Iran.
Since war with Iran is an option of this Administration and since such war is patently illegal, then impeachment may well be the only remedy which remains to stop a war of aggression against Iran.
They have killed 170 US troops!
the democraps are only going to get bolder.
they smell blood.
like a pride of lions on the african velde,
a weakened bush, unwilling to take the initiative and defend himself.
I agree. Is there a list of those names? We should fax and email them to the **** over and over.
Hey, Koo-Koo, why don't you just pass a law requiring the troops to come home or defunding them?
Don't blame Bush for your own failure to honor your promise.
You mean, other than Ahmanutjob's overt threats to destroy Israel, which, at last check, was one of the US's allies?
They smell blood because "our guys" aren't hitting back, and are in fact playing into their hands. I think the Republicans in Washington, including the administration, need to take the gloves off and starting giving as good as they get. Dems are cowards and bullies. If you fight back, they back off. But I'm not holding my breath.
More like a pack of yapping hyenas.
Pack of Hyenas....
""There is no solid, direct evidence that Iran has the intention of attacking the United States or its allies."
Well, besides the nuclear program, the promises of a world without America and Israel, the claims Iran can win a nuclear war with west, the statements that the destruction of America is not only possible but feasible, not to mention the Beirut attacks back in the 1980s.
It is as if God Himself is giving us every possible sign of what the Iranians are up to. 911 should have been a wakeup call, but liberalism is too entrenched in the media, academia, and hollywood, and won't be dislodged easily.
President Cheney
Although, if Cheney will secure our borders and enforce immigration laws, the conservatives may step up and help the Dems.
Democrats DANCE on the bodies of Dead US Soldiers...
The more bodybags, the better it is FOR THEM...
i agree.
i don't understand why the republicans don't hit back, and hard!
If you read Article VI of the Constitution it says the Constitution is the supreme law of the land.
And it's talking about differences the state laws and constituions may have with the US Constitution or treaties made with the authority of the US.
NOT that treaties trump the Constitution.
"Don't blame Bush for your own failure to honor your promise."
Actually, it was kooks like Kucinich that made LIEBERMAN the most powerful man in Congress...
NOTHING passes without his support now. These fools should be proud of what they have created...
The Republicans continue to lack a political backbone. This is the answer.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Democrats are frightened to death about us attacking Iran. Why? Because they know the operation will be quick and successful and confined to destroying the Iranian nuke sites and military. The 'Rats can only gain political traction from a long, drawn-out occupation, not from a quick and decisive victory. Again, politics (to them) trumps national defense.
yes!
look at gonzales. he's a personal friend of the president and the democrats and even a pubbie want him to resign!
what's that tell you about the republican party?
How can you people in OH keep sending this moron to congress?
Bush should have hired Rush Limbaugh years ago...The
man (Bush) acts like he is oblivious to what is going
on, and everybody but the Janitor has the shivs out
for him. He needs to get mad as hell, and start defending
himself, if none of these RINO's are willing to step up
to the plate. If he would put some of these people
in their place, and have the balls to back it up..they
would back off..fast. JK
More like a pack of chihuahuas.
The comments here are a good example how how we are being sucked into their game. Some here are taking seriously his assertions, as if they are debatable on an intellectual level. They are not, and he is well known whack job. He and the other Dems aren't interested in a debate on the Constitution, they are trying to force the Bush admistration into declaring DEFEAT and bringing the troops home. THEY WANT AMERICA TO LOSE. They don't care what ridiculous claims they have to make, because they are never held accountable. You have to deal with that kind of stuff on the level it is offered.
Run a camera if front of these leftists guys and they can't shut up. Like Narcissus, they must see their reflection in the camera lens. They should stand there until they die.
Your comments remind me of this...

Because most of them are a species of invertebrate castrati whose primary habitat is Washington, and who are readily identifiable by a startling absence of even the lightest coloration of principle.
What a delightful scenario! Suppose that President Bush decides to quit for the good of the divisions that separate and stated that he would hope that both liberals and Conservatives would unite behind the unifying influence of President Cheney: - Let us pause for a minute and think through the ramifications of what the Washington crowd would do and how the world would react.
Who do you think he would select for his VP?
Cheney would probably pick either Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, or Condi Rice as his V.P.
Israel and the United States will soon be destroyed, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday during a meeting with Syria's foreign minister, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) website said in a report.
"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad… assured that the United States and the Zionist regime of Israel will soon come to the end of their lives," the Iranian president was quoted as saying.
The democrats are subjecting the Bush Administration to The Death of a Thousand Cuts. And they are winning because the Republicans have lost the will to live.
Let's be careful here. The Dems will insist that a Rino be nominated and will not allow a good conservative to be confirmed.
I don't see that working with Chaney. What a wonderful two years it would be.
Dear Dennis,
Put where the sun don't shine and go away.
No idea, but I have no doubt that a President Cheney would pick a good conservative for VP.
