I don't see what Soros has anything to do with Impeaching GWB.

Bush is the one guilty of insider trading at Harken. Ironically, it was Soros who bought his stock, then felt gyped and lied-to when the bad news came out. This may be why Soros despises Bush so much, because he saw first-hand that GW is crooked. That CNS site is really biased. Instead of publishing news, they twist that Soros story into a heavily slanted hit piece. What's so "liberal" about Soros? He's one of the most cut-throat capitalists on the planet? Just because he opposed Bush doesn't mean he's not a Gordon Gecko type tycoon. I'm not sure Soros is liberal at all, just that he likes balanced budgets and opposes supply side tax cuts for the rich which drain our economy and risk the solvency of the USA.

Mom of Slain Soldier Stages Bush Protest By DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 8 minutes ago The angry mother of a fallen U.S. soldier staged a protest near President Bush's ranch on Saturday, demanding an accounting from the president of how he has conducted the war in Iraq. Supported by more than 50 shouting demonstrators, Cindy Sheehan, 48, told reporters, "I want to ask George Bush: Why did my son die?" Sheehan arrived in Crawford aboard a bus painted red, white and blue and emblazoned with the words, "Impeachment Tour." Her son, Casey, 24, was killed in Sadr City, Iraq, on April 4, 2004. He was an Army specialist, a Humvee mechanic. Sheehan, from Vacaville, Calif., had been attending a Veterans for Peace Convention in Dallas. She vowed she would camp out as close as she could get to the president's ranch until Bush comes out and talks to her. Local law enforcement officials were keeping Sheehan four to five miles away from the ranch's entrance. "If they won't cooperate, we won't," Capt. Kenneth Vanek of the McLennan County Sheriff's Department, said of the marchers. He said the group was stopped because some marchers ignored instructions to walk in the ditch beside the road, not on the road. Sheehan said she decided to come to Crawford a few days ago after Bush said that fallen U.S. troops had died for a noble cause and that the mission must be completed. "I don't want him to use my son's name or my family name to justify any more killing," she said. Sheehan said Bush administration officials "don't have a mission and they don't even ever plan on completing it." She said she fears that the United States plans to keep a U.S. military presence in Iraq indefinitely. Sheehan's bus pulled up at a house run by peace activists a few hundred feet from the town's only stoplight. There, she met up with other demonstrators and then led a caravan of about 20 vehicles down a winding road toward Bush's ranch. The group stopped along the way and sheriff's deputies advised them that if they wanted to go farther toward the ranch, they would have to walk in a ditch along the road. The marchers walked about half a mile until the deputies stopped them, saying that they had violated their instructions by walking on the road itself instead of staying in the adjacent ditch. Sheehan protested, saying she had not walked on the road. The deputies refused to let her go farther. The protesters then began chanting, "W killed her son."

So Soros is a criminal after all? Soros Conviction for Insider Trading Upheld in French Court By Marc Morano CNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer March 24, 2005 (CNSNews.com) - Billionaire financier George Soros's conviction for insider trading was upheld by a French appellate court on Thursday. Soros, the liberal financier who spent more than $23 million of his own money trying to defeat President Bush last year, was found guilty of insider trading in 2002 by a French court for his involvement in a 1988 takeover battle of the French bank Societe Generale. Soros is facing a fine of $2.87 million. On Thursday, the Paris Court of Appeal upheld Soros's conviction for obtaining insider information about the bank before a planned corporate raid was launched to drive up the company's share price.
