I'm very pessimistic on this happening now.

The best chance is for the American people to rise up and vote out the Repubs in Congress next year - but that is 1 1/2 years away - November 2006. A very long time to wait...

People are only starting to turn on this now - with their opinions. Bush is intransigent, and won't admit any mistakes - he thinks that's a weakness.

So we seem stuck here for now.

And, even taking out the moral issues - I don't see what the US is getting for it's people and money. Oil is near $ 60/barrel, and we could see $ 3.00/gallon gasoline.

What exactly are we accomplishing?

A Quick Way to End the Insurgency

Impeach Bush Now

By SAM HUSSEINI

Sectors of the peace movement in the U.S. -- at least those which still show signs of having a pulse -- have seized upon the Downing Street Memo which might finally draw out in some substantive fashion the deceitful manner in which the U.S. moved toward the invasion of Iraq. The group AfterDowningStreet.org has called for an inquiry into possible impeachable offenses committed by Bush.

Meanwhile other people in the U.S. who continue to back Bush are focusing on "how to end the insurgency." They talk of the U.S. military casualties in Iraq and see that Donald Rumsfeld now states that the insurgency could last 12 years.
