Impeach Bush Before More People Die


UPDATE: Impeach Bush is now #3 at Technorati. The most important thing in the battle to take our country back, and save lives, is to get enough people to raise their voices. Every voice counts, whether it is the voice of Cindy Sheehan or a choir of bloggers at Technorati. Really, all we need are enough voices. Everything else will happen if only we have that.

"Impeach Bush" is number six of the top ten Technorati searches. It appears to be climbing.

I looked around and found a post at Skippy that points to Counter Punch where the former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Reagan, Paul Craig Roberts writes: Impeach Bush Before More Die.

The man nails it with the proverbial hammer! Michael Brown should be fired, yes, but the Incompetent-in-Chief will only appoint another fool, since the first and only qualification he requires is complete and abject obedience to this nightmare of a dangerous and destructive Rovian Regime.

The only way to save this country is to impeach the miserable failure before he leads more people to their death!

This is an absolute must read.

Failure on Every Front
Impeach Bush Now, Before More Die


[Excerpt:] The raison d'etre of the Bush Administration is war in the Middle East in order to protect America from terrorism and to insure America's oil supply. On both counts the Bush Administration has failed catastrophically.

Bush's single-minded focus on the "war against terrorism" has compounded a natural disaster and turned it into the greatest calamity in American history. The US has lost its largest and most strategic port, thousands of lives, and 80% of one of America's most historic cities is under water.

If terrorists had achieved this result, it would rank as the greatest terrorist success in history.

[E]very expert and newspapers as distant as Texas saw the New Orleans catastrophe coming. But President Bush and his insane government preferred war in iraq to protecting Americans at home.

[T]he Bush Administration is damned by its gross incompetence. Bush has squandered the lives and health of thousands of people. He has run through hundreds of billions of borrowed dollars. He has lost America's reputation and its allies. With barbaric torture and destruction of our civil liberty, he has stripped America of its inherent goodness and morality. And now Bush has lost America's largest port and 25 percent of its oil supply. Why? Because Bush started a gratuitous war egged on by a claque of crazy neoconservatives who have sacrificed America's interests to their insane agenda.

Despite the most dismal performance on record, Bush's Homeland Security Secretary, Michael Chertoff, said on Thursday that the Bush administration has done a "magnificent job."

The on-the-scene Mayor of New Orleans sees it differently: "They're feeding the people a line of bull, and they are spinning and people are dying."

The neoconservatives have brought these disasters to all Americans, Democrat and Republican alike. Now they must he held accountable. Bush and his neoconservatives are guilty of criminal negligence and must be prosecuted.

What will it take for Americans to reestablish accountability in their government?

Bush has got away with lies and an illegal war of aggression, with outing CIA agents, with war crimes against Iraqi civilians, with the horrors of the Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo torture centers, and now with the destruction of New Orleans.

What disaster will next spring from Bush's incompetence?

Kathy at Citizen's Rent points to a WaPo article that summarizes the Rovian strategy for dropping all signs of the Bush Regime's gross and dangerous incompetence down the memory hole. The article notes that this time the strategy may fail.
