Impeach Bush

Senator Chuck Hagel is from Nebraska, is a Republican, and served in Vietnam receiving two purple hearts. In other words, the usual Republican charge of being a "flag-burning, gay-loving, troop-hating, defeat-ist, terrorist-loving liberal Democrat" probably won't stick too well to him, although the far-right wingnuts are already trashing him for his courage.

(CBS/AP) A prominent member of the Republican party said President Bush's go-it-alone approach on Iraq amounts to flouting Congress and the public, so angering lawmakers that some consider impeachment an option over his war policy.

Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a frequent critic of the war, stopped short of calling for Mr. Bush's impeachment. But he made clear Sunday that some lawmakers viewed that as an option should Mr. Bush choose to push ahead despite public sentiment against the war.

"Any president who says, I don't care, or I will not respond to what the people of this country are saying about Iraq or anything else, or I don't care what the Congress does, I am going to proceed — if a president really believes that, then there are — what I was pointing out, there are ways to deal with that," said Hagel, who is considering a run for president in the 2008 elections. Mr. Bush cannot run because of term limits [thank God].

In the April edition of Esquire magazine, Hagel described Mr. Bush as someone who does not believe he is accountable to anyone. "He's not accountable anymore, which isn't totally true. You can impeach him, and before this is over, you might see calls for his impeachment. I don't know. It depends on how this goes," Hagel told the magazine.

At this point what other option do the 70% of Americans who know Bush is a disaster have?
