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.

"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."

That is a possibility.
The Libs from 'down under' think that criminals will obey weapon bans and have disarmed the populace.

Failed presidential candidate John Kerry...

For some reason, I always chuckle a little when I hear those words...especially at the very beginning of an article.

"When I go back (to Washington) on Monday, I am going to raise the issue," Kerry said,
 
So Mr. sKerry, put up or shut up! If you are going to make an a$$ out of yourself I would just as soon you get it over with.
 
First of all this memo is all hearsay. In other words, it is from a third party, with no direct knowledge of the conversation.The last I heard hearsay is inadmissible, or doesn't that make a difference to you DemoncRat slimes?
 
Second of all, if my president was NOT discussing this with our allies, I would wonder if he were not incompetent!
 
So, by all means, run your mouth and dig a deeper hole for you and your constituents to climb out of before the 2006 elections. Nothing could make me any happier than to see you idiots nail the lid on the coffin of the DumbocRat party.

Here's some more of what you might call troll. It follows on from this troll.

We can disagree about the need - as opposed to the desirability - to liberate Iraq from Saddam but there's no denying that the US administration lied in 2002 about it being a "last resort" or that it was an illegal occupation.
