Meeting Assembled By Conyers Mulls Seeking Bush's Impeachment Over Iraq
Thu Mar 13 2003 10:30:03 ET
House Judiciary ranking member John Conyers (D-Mich.) assembled more than two-dozen prominent liberal attorneys and legal scholars on Tuesday to mull over articles of impeachment drafted against President Bush by activists seeking to block military action against Saddam Hussein. ROLL CALL is reporting on Thursday.

The two-hour session, which featured former attorney general-turned-activist Ramsey Clark, took place in the downtown office of a prominent Washington tort lawyer. Participants said Conyers, who hosted the meeting, was the only Member of Congress to attend. 'We had a pretty frank discussion about putting in a bill of impeachment against President Bush,' said Francis Boyle, an Illinois law professor who has been working on the impeachment language with Clark.

The UN simply wants to continue inspections to avoid bloodshed. It's a gradual process as we are seeing. Will it succeed if we keep the pressure on? Maybe.

But if we go it alone we may win the war but lose the peace, so to speak. That is we will disarm Saddam but we wont be the heros. On the contrary we might create more enemies against us than we already have.

Bush basically scares the world these days. He doesn't listen to other countries. He doesn't care what they think. That may scare many of them into joining forces against us in a variety of ways, ways in which we need them. We cannot foot the bill for defense of the entire planet. Impossible.

And you can see what they are doing to Tony Blair now. The press is the UK is reporting Blair may be out of power soon. That is extraordinary. And why? Because he followed Bush too closely. Other leaders may now shy away from Bush seeing the effect he has. Bush has become poison. Really sad. You see, it's not the US, it's Bush and his right-wing tough guy diplomacy. People out there just dont like it. So tough doesn't work, tough turns out to be weak. And stupid.
