Cheney is Impeachment Bait

Mission Control wrote this in the late evening:

by Allen L. Roland

Libby and his mentor Paul Wolfowitz laid out the case for the illegal invasion of Iraq just one week after the Twin Towers fell in 2001 ~ and both reported to Dick Cheney.

Guy Dinsmore, Financial Times UK, profiled Libby and writes;

” Together with the vice-president, Mr. Libby launched the push to invade Iraq …. And, together with Cheney, Libby has “worked hard to block signs of engagement with Iran, resist direct talks with North Korea, and undermine U.S. legislation prohibiting torture and degrading treatment of detainees.”

As such, Libby was Cheney’s disciple and hit man and was obviously chosen to out Valerie Plame by Darth Vader himself ~ Dick Cheney.

Expect a Bush pardon and eventually a medal if Libby is found guilty. Loyalty to the chief outweighs everything in this den of thieves.

However, the last thing Cheney wants is now happening ~ Fitzgerald digging deeper into Cheney’s secret government and other more flagrant crimes against peace.

Activists Call for Cheney’s Impeachment

by Allison Brophy Champion

Two political activists from Leesburg set up outside the Culpeper post office Tuesday afternoon to hand out literature and call for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney.

“Impeach Satan first,” said a poster hanging from their table, and at its center was a photo of Cheney with devil horns and a pitchfork. “Go with Larouche.”

“We’re out here to make sure everybody knows Dick Cheney is at the end of his rope,” said Gene Schenk, 52. “That we’ve got to stop Cheney from going to war with Iran.”

Both Schenk and co-activist, Leslie Vaughan, represented the political action committee of 84-year-old Lyndon LaRouche, a controversial political figure who has run, unsuccessfully, for president in every election since 1976. Vaughan declined to elaborate on her reasons for coming to Culpeper, saying, “Cheney is not a very nice man.”

BUSH ESCALATES CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS IN UNION SPEECH

Mission Control wrote this in the late afternoon:

by David E. Sanger and Jim Rutenberg, New York Times

It was a speech that reflected Mr. Bush’s difficult circumstances. It was limited in ambition and political punch at home, with no proposals to rival his call two years ago to remake Social Security, no mention of rebuilding New Orleans and no allusions to limiting stem cell research or banning gay marriage.

And when it came to his plan to send additional troops to Iraq, he was forced to plead with the Democrats who now control Congress — and with a growing number of Republican critics — to “give it a chance to work.”

In an admission that the United States now finds itself trapped in the cross-fire of a sectarian conflict, Mr. Bush said, “This is not the fight we entered in Iraq, but it is the fight we are in.” While he insisted that America could not afford to fail, he also warned the Iraqi government that “our commitment is not open-ended.”

Congress Can Stop Iran Attack

Mission Control wrote this at around evening time:

by Jorge Hirsch

However, Congress could pass a law making a nuclear attack on a non-nuclear nation in the absence of Congressional authorization illegal. In so doing, Congress would effectively be preventing Bush from launching any attack against Iran without its authorization, thus reclaiming its broader constitutionally assigned duties. Because Bush will not dare putting 150,000 American lives in Iraq at risk of Iranian retaliation without having the nuclear option on the table. By removing the nuclear option from the Bush toolkit, Congress would be forcefully imposing its will and that of the American people on an administration gone mad.

If Congress chooses not to face the fact that US military action against Iran is likely to lead to the first US use of nuclear weapons since Nagasaki, each one of its members will share responsibility for the nefarious chain of events that is likely to follow, and should be preparing to face his/her very own nuclear Nuremberg trial.

A Conservative for Impeachment

Mission Control wrote this at around evening time:

By Brian Gilmore

Bruce Fein reminds me of Jerry Lewis playing Professor Julius Kelp in the 1963 comedy classic The Nutty Professor. Intellectually astute and quick-witted, Fein, like Lewis as Kelp, is underestimated because of his peculiar style.

But the stakes are too high to dismiss Fein simply for being didactic or eccentric. In fact, he’s breaking conservative rank to defend our Constitution.

Fein has a solid Republican résumé. He served as an associate deputy attorney general in the Reagan Administration, where he helped formulate conservative arguments on key legal issues that are still current today. He had stints as a resident scholar at the Heritage Foundation and an adjunct scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. He also writes a regular column for The Washington Times newspaper, one of the country’s leading conservative dailies.

But his bona fides don’t end there.

Hagel: This is Not a Monarchy

Mission Control wrote this in the wee hours:

by David Edwards and Mike Sheehan

On CNN’s ‘Situation Room,’ Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE), who has joined key Democratic senators on a resolution to stop the Iraq troop ’surge’ being pushed by the Bush administration, tells host Wolf Blitzer that “a bipartisan consensus” was needed for Iraq policy to succeed. The bill he co-sponsored was called a “slap at the president” by Blitzer.

“The best interests of our country” are not served by American escalation in Iraq, Hagel explained. He said that America cannot just pull out, and “a few more years” would be required before the US withdrew. But he added that more Americans must not be “thrown in” to Iraq, and the Iraqis should deal with the problem themselves.

He also sought to remind the president that the Congress is a co-equal branch of government, “this is not a monarchy,” and that on “November 7th, the people changed the management” in Congress. The bill Hagel was now getting behind “is just the beginning,” the Vietnam Veteran senator pledged.

Pro-Impeachment GOP Rep. Ron Paul to Run for President

Mission Control wrote this terribly early in the morning:

by Joe Stinebaker (AP)

HOUSTON — Rep. Ron Paul, the iconoclastic, nine-term lawmaker from southeast Texas, took the first step Thursday toward a second, quixotic presidential bid _ this time as a Republican.

Paul filed papers in Texas to create a presidential exploratory committee that will allow him to raise money. In 1988, Paul was the Libertarian nominee for president and received more than 400,000 votes.

Kent Snyder, the chairman of Paul’s exploratory committee and a former staffer on Paul’s Libertarian campaign, said the congressman knows he’s a long shot.

“There’s no question that it’s an uphill battle, and that Dr. Paul is an underdog,” Snyder said. “But we think it’s well worth doing and we’ll let the voters decide.”

Paul limits his view of the role of the federal government to those duties laid out in the Constitution. As a result, he sometimes casts votes at odds with his constituents and other Republicans.

He was one of a handful of Republicans to vote in 2002 against giving President Bush the authority to use military force in Iraq, contending that only Congress had the power to declare war. At times, he has voted against funds for the military.

Paul bills himself as “The Taxpayers’ Best Friend,” and is routinely ranked either first or second in the House by the National Taxpayers Union, a national group advocating low taxes and limited government.

Will Impeachment Rally the GOP?

Mission Control wrote this in the early evening:

By James Lileks

Peevish, dissatisfied, weary and dismissive: That’s how the conservative base feels about their president. Granted, they think Bush is better than Hillary, whom they believe should be skywriting “Surrender Dorothy” over the Emerald City. But a politician eager to capture the nomination for ‘08 would do well to ask:

After six years of one-party rule, what does the base have besides some peeling bumper stickers and a few judicial appointments? What consolation do they clutch to their bosom? For the last few years the Republican base wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Katrina reconstruction has been contracted to Dubai firms, and Harriet Miers will oversee the work. Could it get worse? Of course.
