Free Press Opinion Piece Calls for Bush Impeachment

That living, breathing US Constitution of ours might start to mutate before our very eyes if you can take seriously an editorial piece in today's Detroit Free Press written by Ray McGovern who, it would appear, has found an opportunity during his busy schedule of Jew hating and conspiracy theorizing to pick up the pen.

It seems the basis for a good old fashioned impeachment doesn't have to be just about the commission of high crimes and misdemeanors any more, it can also be used as a congressional tool to hamstring the administration in its pursuit of future foreign policy initiatives. After all, what matters here is results!

A move to impeach would bolster the resistance to Bush among our senior military leaders who know that attacking Iran at this time would be the strategic equivalent of the marches into Russia by Napoleon and Hitler.

Since Conyers took the helm of Judiciary in January 2007, the train of abuses and usurpations by the Bush administration has gotten even longer. But oddly, Conyers has lost his earlier appetite for impeachment and begun offering all manner of transparent excuses not to proceed. On July 23, 2007, for example, Conyers told Cindy Sheehan, the Rev. Lennox Yearwood and me that he would need 218 votes in the House, and vociferously claimed the votes were not there.

Well, they are now. Last week, 251 members of the House voted to refer to Conyers' committee the 35 Articles of Impeachment offered by U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio. Conyers should take them up.

When bombs are falling on Iran, it will be too late -- and our commander in chief is likely to give that order within the next couple of months. As former White House press secretary Scott McClellan reminds us, when the president sets his mind on something, he is not going to let anything stop him.
Good work guys!

This is exactly the kind of cutting edge editorial I would expect to see in a fine paper such as the Freep. Maybe in the upcoming months you can arrange to have Mahmoud Ahmadinejad pick up the pen or can channel a fine piece from Tokyo Rose.

You know, for balance.
