Impeach Cheney

I received another chance to sign a petition to subpeona the Vice President and if he fails to respond, to impeach him.

If there is anything this administration needs, its a nice trimming of the fourth branch to help the tree of state regain its health.

But when there is an attack on this administration, they circle the wagons and make it hard to do anything else but fight their parries and ploys.

Justice grinds slowly. I'm more inclined to want the Congress to try to undo the many things their predcessors and the administration have done the past six and a half years. There are too many matters being ignored that continue to benefit the powerful interests that got their way.

Like Barac Obama, I would leave impeachment for something so heinous that it could not be spun. Our experience watching the time and energy wasted during the Clinton impeachment nonsense should teach us to use that tool sparingly. There are better things to do.

On the other hand, I can see this administration pushing to attack Iran in order to protect Israel, even if Iran does not attack us.

This talk about Iran supplying insurgents is so unbalanced I could scream. Who is supplying the Al Quaeda and Sunni insurgency? Why isn't the press reminding everyone that there is that side (not long ago pegged as causing over 90 percent of our casualties) of the problem?

I figure it would take nearly two years to carry forward an impeachment proceeding. During that time, this administration could go ahead with bombing Iran anytime it wanted to.

So I won't sign the petition to impeach the Vice President. Hopefully, wise heads will do all they can to prevent the cataclism called for by the neocons and Joe Lieberman.
