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?

Tue, 06 Jun 2006 11:17:49 -0400

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'

Sun, 07 May 2006 17:19:59 -0400

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.
