One Congressman Acts For Truth

Comment by Larry Ross, April 20, 2007

Only Congressman Dennis Kucinich is willing to tell the truth about Iraq and the various crimes of Bush and his administration.

This lonely warrior wants to stop Bush and his team from committing anymore war crimes and doing irreparable damage to the world and the United States.

Other Congressmen are on the Bush gravy train - parroting Bush lies about Iraq as well as his new batch of lies about Iran. Basically US Congressmen will not act against a much bigger war on Iran murdering thousands, if not millions of innocent Iranians to satisfy the mad ambitions of the Bush neocon regime. They, under the House Leadership of Nancy Pelosi, struck out of a bill a provision that Bush must consult Congress before waging war on Iran.

In other words they were happy to abscond from their responsibilities and give Bush a carte blanche to make war on who he wants, when he wants, using whatever weapons he wants. For the Democratic Congress, Bush is King and his wishes are law.

All the noise and self-congratulation about the bill to withdraw US troops from Iraq  in a year is meaningless twaddle. They should never have been put there is the first place and Congress should have exposed Bush lies justifying war with Iraq from the beginning. Instead, they made themselves accessories to the lies. Bush can easily extend the time, ignore the bill, or declare a new war crisis. In the heat and fog of a major war on Iran, there will be no withdrawing of US troops from the Middle East.

Kucinich deserves support from every sane, uncorrupted American.

Articles of Impeachment To Be Filed On Cheney

by Mary Ann Akers, Washington Post, April 18, 2007

Looks like he's reached his boiling point.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), the most liberal of the Democratic presidential candidates in the primary field, declared in a letter sent to his Democratic House colleagues this morning that he plans to file articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney.

Kucinich has made ending the war in Iraq the central theme of his campaign. He has even taken aim at the leading Democratic presidential candidates in the field for their votes on authorizing the war.

Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution gives Congress the authority to impeach the president, vice president and "all civil Officers of the United States" for "treason, bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

Sources tell the Sleuth that in light of the mass killings at Virginia Tech Monday, Kucinich's impeachment plans have been put on hold. There will be no action this week, they say.

Kucinich's office had no comment on the Congressman's "Dear Colleague" letter -- which apparently was drafted over the weekend, before the school massacre -- or on what the focus of articles of impeachment against Cheney would be.

But Kucinich shouldn't hold his breath on getting anywhere with his impeachment plan. "We'll see a Kucinich Administration before we'll see a Cheney impeachment," quipped one Democratic aide.
