Top Ten Reasons to Impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney

The Organization fo Activist Students(http://www.impeachbush.tv) was busy handing out Impeach Bush and Cheney fliers on the campus of Los Angeles City College. They believe that since President Clinton was impeached for lying about sex than surely George Bush and Cheney should be impeached for the war that they started that has resulted in the loss of lives in both nations.

Their reasoning according to the Website are as follows:

1. Bush lied to Congress and the American public about the reasons for invading Iraq.

Bush and his team deliberately misled Congress and the American public about the rationale for invading Iraq. Bush convinced a majority of Americans that Iraq was involved with Al-Qaeda and responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Yet the evidence shows that Iraq was not involved. Bush said in his State of the Union Address that "The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa" to build nuclear weapons. But he had already been told by the CIA that the evidence was forged. Bush claimed to have hard evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. But the UN investigators could not verify any of these claims and searches of Iraq revealed no such weapons. The real reason we invaded Iraq may have more to do with the fact that Iraq has the second largest oil reserves in the world, and sits strategically in the center of the Middle East.

2. Bush conducted illegal wiretaps of American citizens.
George Bush authorized the NSA to conduct illegal wiretaps on American citizens. Bush claimed that these were justified on the basis of national security. But there is a legal mechanism for conducting emergency wiretaps followed by court approval within 72 hours. Bush ignored that mechanism and exceeded his executive authority. Bush claims he has authority to wiretap anyone he wishes but a federal judge ruled that his actions are unconstitutional.
