Impeach Bush Immediately...Clear His Weeds

I've made it a point to watch and listen on the sidelines for awhile now, hoping that George Bush would miraculously prove me wrong about his competence. His decisions and his words have had the opposite effect. My self-discipline cannot hold up to the escalation in stupidity that Bush is demonstrating.

While I felt that many of the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group were silly and frail and pointless, I felt that many of its messages had merit. Bush listened to none of them and, instead, has decided on the worst possible strategy for taking his idiotic misadventures to new depths. Committing an additional 20,000 troops to Iraq without a political plan to bring this nightmare of presidential incompetence to closure is evidence that the man is deeply, deeply stupid, arrogant, and utterly incompetent. That is embarrassing to this country, but we can live with embarrassment. We cannot live with the other consequences of his lunacy, which include massive ruptures throughout the Middle East, sectarian violence spreading like wildfire throughout the region and into our own streets, and spending away our resources so there are none left to support our troops and none left with which to govern our country.

I believe it is time for Congress and the American people to do what only a few months ago I thought ludicrous to even hope for. We need this man and all his henchmen to be removed from office and we need Congress to immediately impose controls that will prevent the Bush plan from wrecking this country. The two should happen simultaneously. I do not profess to have a complete understanding of conditions under which impeachment can be done, but I feel absolutely confident that the conditions exist to warrant impeachment now (for god's sake, if Clinton could have been impeached for engaging in and lying about a tryst with an intern, surely deliberate lies that resulted in thousands upon thousands of deaths is enough, you think?). We truly need more than just Bush to go...we need all those around him, including his entire cabinet, to go. Whether they resign by choice or are forced out by Congressional action, we need them gone. And we need a plan in place to try to rescue this country from its current path toward oblivion.

While there may still be time...maybe weeks of time...left, Congress needs to get busy. For the time being, forget Medicare, forget health insurance issues, forget even global warming....just get the bastards out of office so we have a chance to save this planet.
