...Figment of your imagination and last time you brought this up it was solidly refuted.

...One, I said I didn't support impeachment of Bush and two, you've already shown that you have no desire for facts or truth so long as you can find any way you can to impeach Obama. And I really don't care what conspiracy theorists like you think about me.

The ultimate proof that Bush could not have been impeached for what you are asserting is that he was not impeached despite the introduction of impeachment articles in congress:

Efforts to impeach George W. Bush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

During the presidency of George W. Bush, several American politicians sought to either investigate Bush for allegedly impeachable offenses, or to bring actual impeachment charges on the floor of the United States House of Representatives Judiciary Committee. The most significant of these efforts occurred on June 10, 2008, when Congressman Dennis Kucinich, along with co-sponsor Robert Wexler, introduced 35 articles of impeachment [1] against Bush to the U.S. House of Representatives.[2] The House voted 251 to 166 to refer the impeachment resolution to the Judiciary Committee on July 25, where no further action was taken on it.

The Judiciary Committee investigated and the issue was dropped. Why? Because it was not possible to impeach Bush on the evidence is the only really reasonable conclusion one can come to here. I'm sure if you want to invent a conspiracy theory I'll listen to it - you know I'm intrigued by these sorts of things.

As far as that article you linked - it said:

The report was especially critical of statements by Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney that linked Iraq to Al Qaeda and raised the possibility that Mr. Hussein might supply the terrorist group with weapons of mass destruction. “Representing to the American people that the two had an operational partnership and posed a single, indistinguishable threat was fundamentally misleading and led the nation to war on false premises,” Mr. Rockefeller wrote.

Mr. Bond and four other Republicans on the committee sharply dissented from the report’s findings and suggested the investigation was a partisan smokescreen to obscure the real story: that Central Intelligence Agency failed the Bush administration by delivering intelligence assessments to policymakers that have since been discredited.


In a detailed minority report, four of those Republicans accused Democrats of hypocrisy and their own campaign of cherry-picking — namely, refusing to include misleading public statements by such top Democrats as Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Mr. Rockefeller.


As an example, they pointed to an October 2002 speech by Mr. Rockefeller, who declared to his Senate colleagues that he had arrived at the “inescapable conclusion that the threat posed to America by Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction is so serious that despite the risks, and we should not minimize the risks, we must authorize the president to take the necessary steps to deal with the threat.”

What a load of crap. Again, if Bush could have been impeached he would have. and I'll say the same damned thing about Obama too if he doesn't get impeached.

One last thing - here we go again with the two wrongs make a right logic you love to use Fov. I would say that the left loves to use, but honestly at this point I'm thinking even the left would be embarrassed by your poor tactics and lack of logic.

I told you Fov, I'm not in a position to impeach the President. Though I am flattered that you think I am! :-)

With 24 million people out of work or under employed I think you might fill those rather quick. I'm sue not all of those people worked at McDonalds and even if they did I still think they would be smarter than Harry Reid & Nancy PP
