Bush is Out of Control

Last week the non-profit Center for Public Integrity released an exhaustive study documenting a compelling pattern of false public statements, 935 of them, that "were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses." And Bush topped the list with more lies than any other administration figure.

And just yesterday, after having already once rejected H.R. 1585, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, with an unconstitutional pocket veto (because Congress did not submit to ALL his demands), he then attached a signing statement to the revised bill (H.R. 4986) declaring that he would disregard many other sections of the bill altogether.

It may seem too late in the game to impeach both Bush and Cheney, but there is still time for these guys to dig the U.S. into even deeper messes than they have so far. The words "out of control" do not even begin to capture the depth of contempt that Bush and Cheney have for the entire rest of our Constitutional government, its people, and the World as a whole. Impeachment will slow this misguided juggernaut, and even more importantly will tell the rest of the World, "we are not really like this."
