Former Democratic candidate Mike Gravel says President George W. Bush should be taken to The Hague for war crimes rather than being impeached.
In a Monday video conference with Press TV, the former Alaska senator said President Bush does not 'deserve' to be impeached for invading Afghanistan and Iraq, which has resulted in the loss of 'millions of lives'.
"An Impeachment just means you would only take away his (Bush's) presidency. Well, he is almost done (with) his presidency. What really needs to happen is that these people have to be held accountable for the crimes they have committed," the 78-year-old Democrat said referring to the US president and Vice President Dick Cheney.
"If you impeach president and vice president, Nancy Pelosi is going to become president; that is not going happen," Gravel added.
Gravel is an outspoken advocate of impeaching Bush and Cheney over the disinformation campaign they have led in support of their go-to-war policies.
"There is a lot of very good news that makes me tremendously hopeful that we as a nation are starting to wake up and insist our congressional representatives act to make impeachment happen now," he had said in a statement in January after congressman Dennis Kucinich announced plans to introduce articles of impeachment against President Bush.

Ho ho, ha ha. Even Gravel can't stand the swamp thing.
He probably gets his information from the papers. When reality differs from the New York Times, he wants to sue reality.
Isn’t it the custom in some parts of Alaska to leave guys like this naked on an ice flow?
Rather than hauling out the popcorn, I'd haul out the H&K myself.
I say we go ahead with impeachment proceedings, just as soon as every Dem in Congress is tried for treason and subversion during a time of war.
What’s worse than a fool, an old fool, LOL.

This guy is certifiable! Must be off of his meds.
They'll hold these impeachment hearings, quietly, with the enablement of the MSM who will mention it so they can't be accused of spiking the story, but won't dwell on it, as they would if it were actually going anywhere. The moonbat base will think that the impeachment proceedings are going somewhere and will praise their "fearless leader" Dennis Kucinich. The Dem honchos will blame the Republicans when the proceedings don't go anywhere, even though the Dems hold the keys to the House.
That has to be the plan. You should see the things DU was saying about Nazi Pelosi when she said impeachment was off the table. The Dems had to do something to keep their base happy, and this is it. It's a show trial.
Agreed, but still a ridiculous waste of time & money.
I can’t believe they are wasting time on this and Pelousie won’t even allow a VOTE on drilling!
