John Kerry to call for impeachment of George Bush (Al-Jazeera is loving this)
Al-Jazeera Propoganda ^

Posted on 06/05/2005 10:39:06 AM PDT by hipaatwo

John Kerry announced Thursday that he intends to present Congress with The Downing Street Memo, reported last month by the London Times. The memo purports to include minutes from a July 2002 meeting with Tony Blair, in which Blair allegedly said that President Bush's administration "fixed" intelligence on Iraq in order to justify the Iraqi war.

The Downing Street Memo is the leaked secret British document that details the minutes of a 2002 meeting between top-level British and American government officials. The memo states that George Bush "was determined" to attack Iraq long before going to Congress with the matter, and that "the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."

So far neither government has disputed the accuracy of the memo.

The memo caused an uproar in Britain and made a significant impact in the British national elections, but has recieved little attention in American news.

The Boston Globe published an article by Ralph Nader, Tuesday, in which Nader also called for President Bush's impeachment. The story is being carried on Michael Moore's website and the Democratic Underground.

Failed presidential candidate Kerry advised that he will begin the presentation of his case for President Bush's impeachment to Congress, on Monday.

Kerry said of the memo: "When I go back [to Washington] on Monday, I am going to raise the issue. 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. And it's amazing to me the way it escaped major media discussion. It's not being missed on the Internet, I can tell you that."

He questioned Americans' understanding of the war and the idea that criticism equals disloyalty, saying, "Do you think that Americans if they really understood it would feel that way knowing that on Election Day, 77 percent of Americans who voted for Bush believed that weapons of mass destruction had been found and 77 percent believe Saddam did 9/11? Is there a way for this to break through, ever?"

House Representative John Conyers has written to the President regarding the memo:

"...a debate has raged in the United States over the last year and one half about whether the obviously flawed intelligence that falsely stated that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction was a mere 'failure' or the result of intentional manipulation to reach foreordained conclusions supporting the case for war. The memo appears to close the case on that issue stating that in the United States the intelligence and facts were being 'fixed' around the decision to go to war."

There is a growing movement on the internet and in Congress for a "Resolution of Inquiry" into issues surrounding the planning and execution of the Iraq war, especially in regard to the Administration's handling of intelligence.

John Dean, a key Watergate figure, wrote in a June 2003 column for a legal website, that, "To put it bluntly, if Bush has taken Congress and the nation into war based on bogus information, he is cooked... Manipulation or deliberate misuse of national security intelligence data, if proven, could be a 'high crime' under the Constitution's impeachment clause."

However, in practical terms impeachment in the U.S. Senate requires a 2/3 majority for conviction, which is unlikely given that 55 out of 100 Senators are Republican.

When asked about the Downing Street Memo on May 23, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said: "If anyone wants to know how the intelligence was used by the administration, all they have to do is go back and look at all the public comments over the course of the lead-up to the war in Iraq, and that's all very public information. Everybody who was there could see how we used that intelligence.

"And in terms of the intelligence, it was wrong, and we are taking steps to correct that and make sure that in the future we have the best possible intelligence, because it's critical in this post-September 11th age, that the executive branch has the best intelligence possible."

There are only 99 legal US Senators,
and one illegal one, Hanoi Kerry

Don't be like the Silent Majority in the 60's and 70's
Demand Kerry be ousted from the US Senate!

There is no need to impeach Hanoi Kerry from the US Senate

He is there illegally!

WAKEUP AMERICA!

For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.

Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

Why is Kerry still in the US Senate?
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.amendmentxiv.html

And the FBI has proof of his treason.

May 1970
Kerry and Julia traveled to Paris, France and met with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), the political wing of the Vietcong, and other Viet Cong and Communist Vietnamese representatives to the Paris peace talks, a trip he now calls a "fact-finding" mission.

(U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953, declares it illegal for a U.S. citizen to go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power.)

I happened to catch most of The FOX Sunday news program today.

Chris Wallace did a fine job of making the Amnesty Int'l USA chapter leader look foolish. I thought so anyhow.

The best part of the program though was watching the clips of Howard Dean and his unbelievably ill conceived remarks.

They (dems) can't figure what their problem is. LOL

Now there is frosting on the cake as the most liberal senator from Massachusetts (my home town) continues to make an absolute fool of himself on a regular basis.

Hey John Kerry" You go girl!!!!!!"

Not yet. I won't use google, but I tried yahoo and the only sites carrying this are lefty and Al-Jazzera

I'm glad to hear you're not using Google. I hadn't heard much about boycotting them, but I haven't used them either since the rejection of Republican ads came to light. Any word on whether there's been a noticeable drop in their hits?

Definition of Clinton Triangulation:

Allow the RAT party/far left to develop hysterical theories until the entire country is laughing at them.

ENTER, STAGE LEFT: Hitlary Clintoon, queen on a broom, to "save" the RAT party from their insanity so that she can steer them to the so-called Middle. Hitlary becomes the she-devil leader of the free world and is hailed a hero.

I don't think this is going to go anywhere, especially if it is brought up by Kerry. As another poster pointed out, it looks like sour grapes. An apolitical populace will see it that way as well.

I have read the memo as well, and it didn't impress me that much. To a non-news junkie, it'll bore them to tears.

We'll just wait and see.

It seems curious that the RAT powers that be are allowing sKerry the loser be the one to call for impeachment. If they were serious on the matter, they wouldn't let it be tainted by the complete loser image sKerry will lend. Rather (no pun intended), they believe the document to be - gasp - a forgery or a fabrication, and that sKerry will completely destroy himself in the process of the loser trying to depose the winner.

"Bush should demand Kerry sign the Form 180!"

Got one better than this. How about a "deep throat" and get all the documents. Must be some dedicated honest Republican citizen that has access to the documents. Wouldn't this be fun??????

Actually, House must bring impeachment charges, and even without Tom deLay (ejected and serving a sentence on a Houston chain-gang for no particular offense until such time as the Democratic National Committee shall permit his release), Dennis Hastert can hold the House strong enough that they will reject any impeachment articles.

Is it possible that the entire Democratic Party could be so stupid as to go along with this tin-foil hat wearing, DUnderhead, barking moonbat lunacy?

I HOPE SO!

This is not even MENTIONED in the MSM in the USA but the REST OF THE WORLD IS EATING THIS UP!

This is nothing more than the democrat politicians trying to keep up their "gravitas" to foreign nations. They can't get contributions which favor foreign nations (france, germany, china, "airbus", etc)

Kerry is trying to keep important OUTSIDE the usa and look important. This is just part of the democrats effort to portray GWBush and the Republican revolution as a mere blip.

Rush covered some of this under Judicial nominations. The problem is he did not see how widespread this tactic is for the democrats. Foreign nations which use a parlamentary system do not understand that Democrats do not set foreign policy and Kerry is just trying to portray himself as if he is. (shadow ministers, proportional representation and all that)

There are a few other investigations that would reveal the cause of the POOR quality of the Intelligience, Clinton's fund raising schemes, and of course the John Kerry involvement with the Viet Cong, North Vietnamese Govt and the Communist Party.

We could also take a closer look at Teddy and the Communist Party, since he and Kerry are so tight!
