On the evening of May 9, 2008, Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) introduced Articles of Impeachment against Pesdient George W. Bush. The Ohio Representative based his reasoning for the impeachment of Bush on more than thirty charges, most of which were centered around the Iraq War and the run up to it. Reuter’s reported that Kucinich is blaming Bush for having “‘calculated and wide-ranging strategy’ to deceive citizens and Congress into believing that Iraq posed an imminent threat to the United States.”
Unfortunetly, The Kucinich’s introduction of impeachment is not expected to go anywhere. It is sad that the U.S. congress can move foward with an impeachment over a lie about a sex scandal, but when a president lies to get the country into a war, they choose to barely do anything. Either way, here’s the video:

Lied to get us into war? What lies? About WMD? General George Asada, former Iraqi Air Force General under Saddam Hussein said he orchestrated the moving of the WMD to Syria under order from Saddam Hussein himself. There were also a list of reasons for going into Iraq that had nothing to do with WMD. Not the least of which was Saddam’s support of terrorists in the Palestinian territories and the support for Al-Qaeda by giving safe harbor and medical care to Al-Qaeda leadership after we invaded Afghanistan. There are no grounds for impeaching George Bush. And the impeachment of Bill Clinton wasn’t about a lie about “sex”, it was about committing perjury in a civil trial, and about a cover-up.
