Impeachment is off the table.

In the wake of 9/11 the administration of GW Bush engaged in a coordinated campaign of disinformation to deceive the American people about Iraq's alleged WMD and ties to al Qaeda. They took our country into a costly war under false pretenses -- an invasion the PNAC neocons wanted before Bush took office. 9/11 provided the "new Pearl Harbor" they needed.

Their crime was much worse than Nixon's or Trump's first impeachment. It still rankles me that Bush and his cohorts are still free to lead lives of wealth and privilege.
