Can you impeach a politician for being a liar? I do think Bush has and still gets a lot of bad information and advice. The intelligence on Iraq was wrong from the get go. Trouble is that it was coming from Saddams neighbors who were all scared to death of him.

Good....his numbers have started to drop again. I hope that leads to a GOP rout in November. ******************************************************* Gallup: More Than Half of Americans Feel Bush Deliberately Misled Country on Iraq WMD** By E&P Staff Published: February 03, 2006 1:40 PM ET A new Gallup Poll, conducted in late January, reveals that just 39% of Americans approve of the way President Bush is handling Iraq, with 58% disapproving. Over half (53%) now say the administration "deliberately misled the American public about whether Iraq has weapons of mass destruction," with 46% disagreeing. Gallup notes that this finding is "essentially reversed" from one year ago. Further, some 51% say the U.S. "made a mistake in sending troops to Iraq." Yet, despite this, only 17% expect a significant reduction of U.S. troops in Iraq in the next year. The partisan divide on all these questions is enormous, but with Independents now aligning much more with Democrats. For example, 84% of Republicans feel the president did not mislead the country on WMD, the exact percentage of Democrats who feel the opposite. One interesting new question asked if respondents would feel the war in Iraq was a "success" if the new government there is composed "mainly of Muslim religious leaders." Almost half said that it could still be called a "success." The latest poll was taken Jan. 20-22, based on interviews with 1,006 adults.
