\"maine.jpg\"<\/a>Why does President George W. Bush deserve to be impeached?
\nLet me count the reasons:
\n
\n1. Leading our country into a war in Iraq using a propaganda campaign of lies and false documents.
\n
\n2. Sending American soldiers to war without proper protection and adequate training.
\n
\n3. Not providing wounded\/traumatized soldiers with the quality medical care they deserve and need.
\n
\n4. Providing very rich Americans with tax relief, thereby creating a terrible inequity in a time of war when all citizens should shoulder comparable burdens.
\n
\n5. Illegally wire-tapping the phones of American citizens.
\n
\n6. Allowing torture of inmates in Abu Ghraib prison and in Guantanamo prisoner camp, thereby tarnishing the good name of America and putting our own troops at risk of reciprocity.
\n
\n7. Stealing the presidency through election fraud in 2000 and again in 2004, thereby making a mockery of our democracy.
\n
\n8. In general, acting in such a manner as to cause our nation, respected and loved in the past, to become the object of ridicule or, much worse, distrust and hatred, thereby putting our country in dire danger of another terrorist attack.
\n
\nThe dictionary says a traitor is “a person who betrays his country or a trust.”\u009d
\n
\nMr. Bush not only has proved incompetent, but he has betrayed the trust of his oath of office for the benefits of a few and the satisfaction of his own ego. Impeachment is a mild punishment.
