    No. It's a silly question. He's done nothing worthy of impeachment.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    Well, actually, quite a few people think his warrantless wire tapping program broke the law. Were this proven to be the case, yeah, get his ass out of there. Unfortunately, those accusations don't seem to be going anywhere, so it's likely a moot point.

    I think it would be the worst possible decision ever, even dumber (for those that thought it was dumb to go to Iraq) than going to Iraq.

    How vindicated would the terrorist feel? Talk about giving those whacks jobs propaganda material? Shit, talk about creating more terrorist!!!!

    Quite a few top Democrats, including Nacy Pelosi and Harry Reid have already called for his impeachment, on multiple occasions.

    God only knows what they would do if they win congress.

    I think all mass murderers should be held accountable, W included. Yeah he's a puppet, but ultimately he makes the decision...certain people tell him what to do, but really it does come down to him. He could have said no, I don't want to kill tens of thousands of people in the middle east and turn a stable country into a wasteland, ripe with civil wars and terrorist attacks and very unstable soldiers running around executing people. He could have prevented all of that. Even though he is a puppet.

    The question remains, impeachment for what? There has to be a reason to impeach a President, I mean a real reason. Can't impeach him because you don't like his policies (boneheaded or not) and you can't impeach him because he prays, that's for sure...

    As Tony Blair pointed out very wisely, it is the terrorists in Iraq who have turned Iraq into what it is today, not us. Our actions haven't been perfect, but neither are we responsible for all the terror and killing and sectarian violence that plagues Iraq. That can be laid squarely at the feet of people like Zarqawi and his terrorist buddies.

    How, exactly, would impeachment create more terrorists??

    I think it would actually be a sign to the terrorists that steps are being taken to make peace.

    I'm pretty sure there will be impeachment hearings if the dems get congress. His NSA debacle is clearly unconstitutional. Are we really discussing this?

    I believe it does increase the likliness of an attack on America. George W Bush has been by far the greatest success story of terrorism. If the "terrorists" lose Bush, they will lkely try another attack in the hopes the United States may respond as miserable or at least almost - again.

    ...
    Impeachment for what? Making one poor decision after another after another after another after another after another after another is not an impeachable offense.
    ...
    And the Democrats won't win... and if they do win... what's the difference? Shit and crap both stink.
