Lie And Die Text

George Bush: "Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." (SOTU 1/28/03)

Iraq never sought uranium from Africa. Bush's lie was based on an obvious forgery. The CIA repeatedly warned the White House not to repeat this lie.

Who Really Killed the Civilians of Haditha?

Challengers

by Jeeni Criscenzo [ImpeachPAC candidate]

I live in the shadow of Camp Pendleton and have many opportunities to talk to Marines. Most of them seem so young to me. Many are 15 years younger than my own son and they have been to Iraq for two and three tours of duty. They are soft-spoken, respectful and sad. I look in their eyes and see dark pools of pain that make me wonder what terrible things they have seen. I've never met a Marine here in Oceanside that seemed capable of killing children in cold blood.

Pelosi Says 'Our Caucus Will Decide'

Impeachment in the News

Tim Russert relentlessly grilled Nancy Pelosi to find out if House Democrats would impeach Bush if they win a majority in November. Pelosi did her best to downplay the possibility, but clearly stated the decision will be made by the Democratic Caucus. That makes it essential to elect as many pro-impeachment Democrats as possible! So please contribute to ImpeachPAC using the box at the top right.

Impeachment From Below: Legislators Lobby Congress
The Nation: John Nichols, The Online Beat

Inside the Beltway, legislators have been slow to support moves to censure or impeach President Bush and other members of the administration. Only 33 members of the U.S. House of Representatives have signed on as cosponsors of Congressman John Conyers' resolution calling for the creation of a select committee to investigate the administration's preparations for war before receiving congressional authorization, manipulation of pre-war intelligence, encouraging and countenancing of torture, and retaliation against critics such as former Ambassador Joe Wilson, with an eye toward making recommendations regarding grounds for possible impeachment. Only two members of the Senate have agreed to cosponsor Senator Russ Feingold's proposal to censure the president for illegally ordering the warrantless wiretapping of phone conversations of Americans.
