“Impeachment is not a tool for resolution of political differences”

Lies about the danger Saddam posed to our country and going to an unjust war as well as outing CIA Agents and using that to attack a person that does not agree with the policy of the President and VP are reasons to Impeach BOTH Bush and Cheney! LET’S START TODAY!

Then we should impeach the entire Congress because they made the case for war as well.  Both of your reasons listed are invalid because they are both are false, and there is no evidence to suggest otherwise.  Bush/Cheney will not be impeached.

There would not have been an invasion had Bush not overstated the danger from Saddam. Although there was inaccurate intelligence about WMD in Iraq, Bush had accurate Intelligence about the lack of Nuclear weapons in Iraq and Bush had the assessment from the Pentagon in 2002 that said Saddam was not capable of conducting military operations outside Iraq. In fact that report said Saddam was only capable of military operations in the central section of Iraq because of the No Fly Zones. Thus Bush had the information to know that we were NOT in danger from Saddam for the simple reason Saddam did not have the capability to endanger the U.S. Too many in Congress believed what Bush and Cheney said which was a SNOW JOB as to the REAL danger that Saddam, posed to the U.S.! I do not think that Congress will give any future President the type of blank check they gave to Bush in 2002. Many have said if they knew in 2002 what they know today, they would NOT have voted for the resolution. Anyone that today claims what we did by invading Iraq was the correct decision is in total denial.

Cheney was never the focus of the investigation. Get over it. " The Special Prosecutor said in Court that Cheney was involved. The testimony of several witnesses clearly showed Cheney was involved. The memo that Cheney wrote on clearly showed his involvement. You are full of BS!

No, YOU'RE the one full of BS! The prosecutor did say that. BUT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE TO BACK IT UP! The ONLY back up to this is the prosecutor's "feeling".

"There was no evidence that would satisfy the many requirements under the law that was intended to protect CIA Agents." There is no question that Cheney, Bush, Armitage and Libby are responsible for providing information about Mrs. Wilson to the Press. That has been established both with documents ( the memo Cheney wrote on) and testimony by multiple people.

So your very own post proved the point!

It has ALSO been established that Ms. Plame at the time in question WAS NOT A COVERT/UNDERCOVER CIA agent! So there was NO outing of a covert CIA agent.

But several CIA veterans questioned how someone with an embassy background could have successfully passed herself off as a private-sector consultant with no government connections. Genuine NOCs, a CIA veteran said, "never use an official address. If she had [a diplomatic] address, her whole cover's completely phony. I used to run NOCs. I was in an embassy. I'd go out and meet them, clandestine meetings. I'd pay them cash to run assets or take trips. I'd give them a big bundle of cash. But they could never use an embassy address, ever." Another CIA veteran with 20 years of service agreed that "the key is the [embassy] address. That is completely unacceptable for an NOC. She wasn't an NOC, period." After Plame was transferred back to CIA headquarters in the mid-1990s, she continued to pass herself off as a private energy consultant. But the first CIA veteran noted: "You never let a true NOC go into an official facility. You don't drive into headquarters with your car, ever." A senior U.S. intelligence official, who like the others quoted in this article spoke on condition of anonymity, noted that Plame "may not be alone in that category, so I don't want to suggest she was the only one. But it would be a fair assumption that a true-blue NOC is not someone who has a headquarters job at any point or an embassy job at any point."[10]

notice Gene has come back with all the refuted arguments as if no one has ever refuted them before. The sign of a mind not well.

“So your very own post proved the point!”

No that is NOT what I said. There is a BIG difference in being able to meet the technicalities of the very complex law to Protect disclosure of CIA Agents and the established fact that Cheney, Rove, Armitage and Libby provided the fact that Valery Plame was a CIA Agent to the Press. There is simply NO valid reason why those officials should have been talking to the press about our CIA Agents. Their actions put in danger any contacts Mrs. Wilson had when she was in the field as a CIA Agent! For that they should be removed from positions of responsibility in our government even if the technicalities of the law prevent their prosecution!

Gene you are a lying sack of crap!
When I was in the service, doing what I was doing it was illegal to have pictures taken of me to include family pictures. My wife was never allowed to know what I did or where I did it. I have a home in the Philippines that only five years ago was I allowed to travel to see. The law says I was not allowed to go to where I own a home for almost 20 years to protect me and my family. If Mrs. Wilson’s wife was covert she could not have been listed in Who’s who and Mr. Wilson would not have been allowed to list his wife as an agent of the CIA in anything he did. Now the CIA has several cover companies with which it pays its employees, because of her coming out one of those front companies was outed by the NYT. So that company has to shut down and the cost eaten by the government as they create a new company. I work for DHS and the agency that pays me is not DHS. My pay comes out of another agencies budget it is done all the time. All employees that deal with classified data that work for the CIA are paid by front companies or other government agencies. This is done to protect their identities the people are not case officers which Mrs. Wilson was not. She was not in a covert status because Mr. Wilson was allowed to list his wife and her profession in Who’s who for 5 years before she was supposedly “outed” by this administration. The purpose was to make it harder for Soviet spies to locate and try to flip our people that don’t go over seas but have access to classified information. Since there is no Soviet Union the CIA has become lax.

Oh, and more to the point. The CIA does not have agents its covert people are called case officers. Agents are people from other countries that the case officers have turned to work for us. Are you suggesting that Mrs. Wilson works for the enemy, or a foreign nation?

What you talking about has nothing to do with top officials telling the press about our CIA operatives and putting them in danger. Cheney, Libby, Rive should all be removed from the government. Armitage is not currently in the Bush administration.

former assistnt SecState Armatage ws the one that spoke to the press so it was either him on his own or your buddy Mr. Powell approved it. there is no evidence of Mr. Powell being involved and Mr. Armatage is not a Bush supporter so he would not have had marching orders from Mr. Rove, Mr. Cheney, or Mr. Bush. Your whole argument takes a nose dive because those pesky facts get in the way of your fantazy.
