Seeing the Lewinsky thread and thinking of how the house impeached Clinton over lying about it. I am wondering why noone tried to impeach or otherwise indict Bush/Cheney for manufacturing the justification for a war in Iraq?

I think one offense pales in comparison to the other. Why the difference?

Because the globalists wouldn't allow Clinton to be impeached for his illegal and genocidal war in Yugoslavia. Not suprisingly Obama copied Clinton's methods in Libya.

Well since Bush actually made the case before Congress and members OF YOUR OWN PARTY agreed (Umm .. Clinton for one) Whatcha want them to do .. Impeach themselves?

BTW: Aren't we still in Iraq?

Maybe this will give you some perspective.

Did you forget that Pelosi, Clinton (Hillary and Bill), Gore, Feinstein, Kennedy, etc., all said that Saddam had WMDs? Especially when Clinton was in office?

Did you also forgot that Clinton (Bill) outright lied about maybe what the stain on that blue dress bought at the GAP was all about...and wanted to define/re-define the definition of "sex" when asked if he had it with Monica?

He's lucky Whitewater and the untimely deaths of one here or there wasn't looked into a little harder...thanks to Monicagate.

But really? Here's the thing: you cheat on your wife? And claim "define sexual relations" as your excuse? Who are you calling stupid? Your wife or everyone else in the universe?

The only reason members of Congress and the Senate thought there were WMD's in Iraq is because they were lied to by the Bush Administration. Therefore, it does not matter what they thought or how they voted, they were LIED TO and MISLED by the neocons.

As far as impeachment, it wouldn't stick because Democrats are gutless and because the Republicans would have used the troops in Iraq as "human shields".

They basically dared anyone to hold them accountable and knew that the will was not there and that nothing would stick. They also knew when they got out of office these draft dodgers could all once again hide behind the military and pretend that they cared about them, when in reality they sent them into a war zone undermanned and under equipped and didn't care one iota about them, or what happened to them. PTSD, crippling injuries for life, death? They didn't even want to hear about it.

NOPE .. I didn't make that up!
It's actually out there on the internet .. Try Google!

The attack killed between 3,200 and 5,000 people, and injured around 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians;[1][2] thousands more died of complications, diseases, and birth defects in the years after the attack.
