Downing St. Memo is Evidence for Bush Impeachment.

Thursday, June 9, 2005

The Downing Street Memo proves that invasion of Iraq wasn't the 'last resort' but Bush's intent all along, leading to cooked intelligence and other impeachable offenses; Greens note bipartisan and media complicity in overlooking evidence of deceit, urge public protest.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Green leaders reiterated the party's July 2003 call for impeachment of Bush, and called on all Americans outraged by the Bush Administration's list of deceptions, violations of the U.S. Constitution, the disastrous Iraq occupation, and policies that have disgraced the U.S. to demand that Congress begin the impeachment process.

"The invasion and occupation of Iraq has caused the deaths of over 1,600 U.S. military personnel, as well as untold suffering and tens of thousands of civilian dead in Iraq," said David Cobb, the Green Party's 2004 candidate for President of the United States. "The Downing Street Memo confirms what we already knew -- that a conspiracy to deceive the American people led us into the war, and that this conspiracy constitutes 'high crimes and misdemeanors' according to the U.S. Constitution."

The Green Party of the United States called for the impeachment of George W. Bush during the party's 2003 national meeting <http://www.gp.org/press/pr_07_21_03.html>. Greens have organized and participated in numerous protests against the war since early 2003, and have called for an immediate end to the occupation, cancellation of further war spending, and removal of military recruiters from schools as U.S. troops continue to face death and injury in Iraq.

1. Nominated. And thanks for reminding me to go check out

www.downingstreetminutes.com

[bling bling]

6. Thanks for pointing that out.

I used that website to write a letter to my representatives about the DSM.

I feel sad that I have to literally beg my representatives to do what they can to investigate the very real possibility that this administration manipulated us into a war. Of all things you shouldn't even have to ASK them to do....

[expatriot]

2. Greens trying to attract progressives to party with press release....

It's easy to spew off great sounding rhetoric when you have nothing to lose and no representative power in the U.S. Congress. Don't let this tempt you, progressives.

[Lerkfish]

7. hey, at least they're doing something!

I applaud them....as opposed to the DLC, for example.

[frylock]

16. they do so as the dems continue to repel progressives..

good for them.

21. The Greens are fighting for us, unlike the DLC

I am a proud member of the Green Party, in fact I was a delegate at their national convention last summer. I am proud that my party has courage to speak out against the crimes of the Bush Administration forcefully. All I hear from the DLC is that we can't alienate the voters in the middle. My question is, in the middle of what? I don't want to accept any middle ground between democracy and dictatorship, between war and peace, between justice and greed. I want a party that stands up for my values.

If the Democrats stand up for progressive values then I might just vote for them. But if they continue to condemn the "harsh rhetoric" against the Bush regime and call for a more "civil discourse" then they can forget about me. We need a party that is not afraid to use "harsh rhetoric" in these times.

3. In the famous words of Tom Cruise as Jerry McGuire, "It's not a a memo!"

[Carolab]

4. Well, if the Dems don't start it going, who will?

I'm glad the Green Party is calling for impeachment. The more, the better, IMHO.

[Occulus]

5. Combine the Downing Street Minutes with the simmering Ohio scandal and

you would think it qwould be a sure thing.

I mean, in a sane world.

[cyr330]

8. Duh

We all know that it's grounds for impeachment, but those fuckers in control will never allow it. They only care about head jobs being given in the oval office.

[Rainscents]

9. Hey, I joined Green Party, even thou I am a democrat...

I do like what they have to say... Don't mean I am going to vote for them.

[NNN0LHI]

10. I have actually been considering going third party lately

But if I did decide to go third party it wouldn't be with these half wits.

[Disturbed]

11. Good for the Greens.

I hope the Libertarians join us.

[slay]

12. I was very impressed with the Green Party looking into election fraud

And I continue to be impressed with them. Too bad our media is owned and most people will never know this.

[psychopomp]

13. Great! I agree. Now, if they only had somebody in Congress...

Still, it's good that they are speaking out:toast:

[radfringe]

14. DSM news is spreading

you wouldn't know it from the Daily-spews by MSM, but the DSM is spreading via a "whisper" campaign..

My partner (an avowed political agnostic, swore off politics 30 years or so ago) asked me about it last night.... She said - "I think this downing street memo thing is going to explode like Watergate. It basically says that bush* manipulated the intelligence to fit a scenario that people would buy and that the invasion was really about regime change and not wmds."

heard similar comments from co-workers and a couple of neighbors who don't really follow the news in any form... so even the "news-challenged" people are hearing about it.

[Hosnon]

22. Wonderful news. nt

[dissent1977]

23. It is not a whisper campaign...

It is a screaming campaign. The problem is no matter how loud we scream the corporate media pretends not to hear us.

[LightningFlash]

15. Downing Street Minutes, plus Election Fraud.

He cooked the intelligence reports, cooked the books, made up everything in a tantrum like a 10 year old would under the direction of Dick Cheney. Which in turned forced an entire illegal war to become the forefront for the world, Iraq exploded. 100,000 Iraqis dead, 1900 soldiers at minimum.

He allowed the greatest atrocity to happen on American soil, 9/11, and even was involved in some of its planning. Over 3000 americans and nationalists dead, long since been decreed by PNAC to be "communist socialist scum" and other kind words.

He laughingly allowed Karl Rove to use Ralph Reed, Thomas Noe and some crony democrats in name only to commit fraud in Ohio by computer--Clint Curtis to create vote-switching ES&S program. Triad helping to chomp the bit, by "servicing" the machines. Illegal money and donations all over the place. Stolen, phantom, election.

He laughingly stood to the side while massive fraud was committed by Ken Lay in order to make ENRON become number 1 energy producer in the world.

Add them all up, and the recipe is clear

Impeachment. Impeachment and due process, plus conviction.

Sound the sirens......This one's not going away :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

17. Self Delete...

18. Bush was impeachable when the Niger uranium forgery became known

and I believe John Conyers, maybe Bob Graham too, was/were talking impeachment at that time.

[olddad56]

19. Bush is above impeachment, it's not like he lied about a blow job...

And, let us not forget that we no longer live by the rules of democracy. This is fascism and impeachment is out of style.

[ckramer]

20. It's a shame that the democrats would let the green party call this shot

I think the green party could very well be the party of 21 century if they keep making right moves.

Democratic party seem to be too old or hopeless for that now.


Ask young people which party can excit them?

democrats or republicans or the greens

Wake up or you will be left behind.

Howard Dean should call for Bush's impeachment now!

[humus]

24. reaction replay

just what are some of the active stands that the democratic party has at this time?
I know there is a consenus against Bush
that's all well and good
but being reactive is hardly a platform that
is inspiring
The Greens are more proactive
raising minimun wages substantially,
the abuse of the land by agri-business
the plight of immigrant farmworkers,
a strong stand against the war in Iraq
building of local economies
rather then globalization
equal distribution of wealth
and more

I got the sense that Kerry was
closer to Bush on these issues
and that the reactive stance is just that
counter punching, protecting
rather then standing on priciple

you can scream all you want about the Greens taking votes
but to vote for a party in name only
is taking it right on the chin

25. Kick!
