That may be, but could you please explain how he is wrong on this one.

I can't imagine a better way to completely destroy our war efforts and make us a laughingstock in the eyes of our enemies than impeaching the one president who actually had the balls to defend the country. You want to guarantee another terrorist attack on our soil? You want to guarantee that we don't have another president with a pair of attached testicles for the next 50 years? Then impeach Bush.

For the love of God, Bush only has a couple of years to go in his presidency, then he's out no matter what. Even if you hate his guts, he's out in just a couple of years after having been in already for a term and a half. I can't imagine a more ridiculous and pointless course to pursue than impeaching him at this point.

Furthermore, there is a big difference between high crimes and misdemeanors and job performance that you don't like. You can't impeach a president for what you feel is incompetence. You can call failing to secure the border treason all you want, but its really just bad judgement on his part, and we're not impeaching anyone for that.

"impeaching the one president who actually had the balls to defend the country."

Willfully disregarding perimeter security in time of war is not defending the country. I'll agree that this President has provided a strong defense of this nation when Osama bin Laden cannot easily stroll across our borders and into this country completely unchallenged with a nuclear bomb strapped to a donkey that's walking next to him. A group of children could enter this country undetected. What does that say about a large group of trained terrorists?

This is not a difficult concept. The Israelis get border security as necessary for defense against terrorism; why can't some people here understand it? Until our borders are secured, we have zero defense against terrorists, regardless of our actions abroad.
