A Question for Ron Paul
Has anyone asked Ron Paul whether he would support the impeachment of Bush and/or Cheney? And if so, what was his reply? If anyone were to ask him, I guess he would say"No" but it's surely a fair question since he argues that Bush and Cheney have acted unconstitutionally.
That said, I'm inclined to agree with Alexander Cockburn who writes thus:
"The left is as easily distracted, currently by the phantasm of impeachment. Why all this clamor to launch a proceeding surely destined to fail, aimed at a duo who will be out of the White House in sixteen months anyway? Pursue them for war crimes after they’ve stepped down.
"Mount an international campaign of the sort that has Henry Kissinger worrying at airports that there might be a lawyer with a writ standing next to the man with the limo sign. Right now the impeachment campaign is a distraction from the war and the paramount importance of ending it."
