NEWS FLASH! Rep. Wexler's petition http://www.wexlerwantshearings.com/ calling for immediate impeachment hearings on Dick Cheney has passed the 100,000 signature mark! (He'll be talking about it, and I'll be interviewing him on Florida Progressive Radio Thursday, Dec. 21 at 9 pm. Listen in live on line at Florida Progressive Radio, http://www.blogtalkradio.com/fpc)
______________
It is clear now that George Bush and Dick Cheney have been pushing hard for war with Iran for months, all the while knowing--and trying desperately to hide the fact--that the entire US intelligence community had established with a high degree of confidence that Iran poses no threat of becoming a nuclear power, and that it is not playing any significant role in Iraqi attacks on American troops in Iraq. They were, to put it simply, lying and scheming.
It is also well known that Cheney actually slinked behind the State Department's back earlier this fall and tried, on his own, to talk the Israelis into attacking Iran's nuclear facilities in hopes of getting Iran to retaliate and thus drag the US into a war with Tehran.
These are acts not of policy but of treason. But aside from Rep. Dennis Kucinich and a group of fewer than 30 backers, you don't hear any calls from the Congress for impeachment. And Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democratic Party leadership is busy squelching any such talk.
READ THE REST:
