ragingbull.lycos.com post from lycos........ votetoimpeach.org George W. Bush Must Answer to the People - adapted from Ramsey Clark's address to the half a million demonstrators at the January 18th National March on Washington to Stop the War on Iraq organized by International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism). The U.S. Constitution provides the means for preventing George W. Bush from engaging in a war of aggression against Iraq, and from advancing a first strike potentially nuclear preemptive war. It's called impeachment. High Crimes and Misdemeanors Impeachment is the direct constitutional means for removing a President, Vice President or other civil officers of the United States who has acted or threatened acts that are serious offenses against the Constitution, its system of government, or the rule of law, or that are conventional crimes of such a serious nature that they would injure the Presidency if there was no removal. A Constitutional Imperative Impeachment appears six times in the U.S. Constitution. The Founders weren't concerned with anything more than with impeachment because they had lived under King George III and had in 1776 accused the king of all the things that George W. Bush wants to do: Usurpation of the power of the people; Being above the law; Criminal abuse of authority. Power Remains in the Hands of the People Impeachment is the means by which We The People of the United States and our elected representatives in Congress can prevent further crimes by the President and the human catastrophe they threaten and force accountability for crimes committed. Save the Constitution, the U.N., and Countless Human Lives Congressional proceedings for impeachment can bring about open, fearless consideration of the most dangerous acts and threats ever committed by an American President. If courageously pursued, they can save our Constitution, the United Nations, the rule of law, the lives of countless people and leave open the possibility of peace on earth. The Time for Action is Now Each of us must take a stand on impeachment now, or bear the burden of having failed to speak in this hour of maximum peril.

>>>I'm sorry, I'm not prescient yet. <g><<< Give it a try. I will tell you what will happen. I suspect that I will be correct too. Here, let me give you a hint. After the first Iraq war in the early 1990s, the military was having a tough sell with the B-2. I cannot remember whether it costs $1 billion or $2 billion a copy. (What would Everett Dirksen think?) After the war, a general was testifying before Congress. He had a number of charts showing how much the B-2 would save. He substituted 1 B-2 for a variety of other Air Force planes. As he progressed, he tried to show that one more B-2 would eliminate the need for an assortment of other planes. As he continued, I thought the Air Force was trying to end up with 50 B-2s and no other planes. He needed a new writer. The Air Force has only about 24 B-2s.
