Kerry Touts Bush Impeachment Memo

Failed presidential candidate John Kerry said Thursday that he intends to confront Congress with a document touted by critics of President Bush as evidence that he committed impeachable crimes by falsifying evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

"When I go back (to Washington) on Monday, I am going to raise the issue," Kerry said, referring to the Downing Street Memo in an interview with Massachusetts' Standard Times newspaper.

Story Continues Below

"I think it's a stunning, unbelievably simple and understandable statement of the truth and a profoundly important document that raises stunning issues here at home," the top Democrat added. The Downing Street Memo, first reported on May 1 by the London Times, was drafted by a Matthew Rycroft, a foreign policy aide to Prime Minister Tony Blair. It is said to be minutes of a July 2002 meeting where Blair allegedly admitted that the Bush administration "fixed" Iraq intelligence to manufacture a rationale for war.

Citing the Downing Street Memo, former presidential candidate Ralph Nader called for an impeachment investigation on Tuesday in an op-ed piece published by the Boston Globe.

"It is time for Congress to investigate the illegal Iraq war as we move toward the third year of the endless quagmire that many security experts believe jeopardizes US safety by recruiting and training more terrorists," wrote Nader with co-author Kevin Zeese. "A Resolution of Impeachment would be a first step."

The British memo, however, contains no quotes from either Bush or Blair, and is notably slim on evidence implicating Bush in a WMD cover-up.

Though largely ignored in the U.S. outside of rabid anti-Bush web sites like MichaelMoore.com, the Downing Street Memo won Sen. Kerry's endorsement in the Standard Times interview:

"It's amazing to me," the top Democrat said, "the way it escaped major media discussion. It's not being missed on the Internet, I can tell you that."

On a serious note, I've always wondered why Kerry and the others (Clinton, etc) get a pass for the treasonous activities?

I suspect everybody is scared to even consider taking them into court for the offenses.

I would think it just need someone that could bankroll a good attorney to act for the citizens to place charges!

Do we have a Conservative "George Soros?"

Hey John Kerry, perhaps the issue should be raised why you LIED to the senate committee, brought forth false witnesses, lied about events in order to secure medals which you did not deserve, deserted the navy, conspired with the enemy against this Nation.

Bush on the other-hand never lied about anything, He relied on the same intelligence report both you and Clinton did when both you and he made statements about Iraq's WMD.

You are a LOOSER John Kerry, a rich (married rich) spoiled little mama's boy following in your communist fathers footsteps. A professional liar.

John Kerry is on tape....his own words, his own deeds. I didn't need John O'Neill to tell me Kerry is a traitor. Kerry could just sign the form, couldn't he. I wonder why he won't? Any ideas as to why he just won't do it? Do you think it might be because John O'Neill is telling the truth?

"Are YOU willing to listen to the CINO's again?"

Starting from now, no more.

I'm not well informed and I've been voting for these phony conservatives (aka the neocons) for years. Not anymore, though. The neocons are not real conservatives, so I hear. We need real conservatives that support our President and our war on terror, not traitors and turncoats like that "Deep Throat" guy, his name escapes me at the moment.

Senator Kerry seems to be trying to relive his Watergate glory days.

What an old fool...

Why is he making a fool of himself?

It's the only thing he has mastered.

News accounts say that Kerry has signed the SF 180. In addition, Douglas Brinkley states on page 520 of "Tour of Duty" that Kerry authorized him to independently access his Navy records. Do you think if he found anything suspicious in those records he would have written a book about him, much less a flattering one?

And by the way, John O'Neill is on tape telling lies. His own words, as you say.

John O'Neill has also been proven a liar about more than his service. For example:

You are right, the job is not done regarding traitor Kerry. He MUST be brought to justice!
MSM won't even whisper a thing about his betrayal to this nation. It's sickening that this government will not pursue the matter, at least kick him out of congress.

This article is so disingenuous it makes my puke. It is written to leave the impression though the use of phrases without commas to leave the impression on a quick reading that Kerry is asserting that the memo is evidence that Bush committed an impeachable offense.

Dan Rather gave him the memo.

That is nonsense, and Kerry is not that stupid.

Respectfully disagree. He IS that stupid.

John O'Neill? He's a senator or a president, right?

Because ordinary citizens usually don't have to answer for jack shit.

He also said he was going to release his Military Records.

That was before he did not release them.

Let me try this again real slow like so maybe you will understand: I don't care what John O'Neil says. I can make up my own mind. I have no idea what Brinkley would or would not do except that he wants to make money by selling some books. I will believe Kerry signed the SF180 when I see it and see the documents have been released. Why is it taking so long? I like how it is going.

Obviously from your posts on this forum, you've got a soft spot for Kerry. That's great. Sorry for you your candidate didn't win. Glad for me and the country that a traitor is not the president. I hope he keeps talking to make sure he never is the president and that he continues to alienate anyone who might vote for a democrat.
