Here's a fascinating bit of news: More people today want to see President Bush impeached than wanted Clinton impeached on the eve of the House's vote on his impeachment.

According to a poll by the Zogby organization, just released by the group Afterdowningstreet.org, 50 percent of the American public now would like to see the House impeach Bush if it were found that he had lied about the reasons for going to war in Iraq (if?).

Compare that to December 17, 1998, only days before Clinton's impeachment by the House of Representatives, when an AP poll found that only 36 percent of the American public wanted to see the president impeached.

Clearly Americans view the flawed invasion of Iraq and other actions by the Bush administration, like the placing of business cronies in high places, the bankrupting of the federal government, and the failure to come to the rescue of an American city as far more serious than Clinton's sex romp and the lying about it that followed. And there's plenty more bad news to come for Bush, beginning with likely indictments in the Plame outing affair.

So, is the campaign by After Downing Street and other organizations to seek Bush's impeachment just tilting at windmills? It certainly isn't likely to happen with the current Republican domination of the House, but if public anger against Bush continues to grow, that could all change in November 2006, when all House seats are up for reelection.

The latest poll suggests we may have an entertaining 2006 and 2007.

This group, this gang of psychopaths will not go down quietly.

They can only strike again at our collective fears with another staged terror event to which the media will join, in their howl for a convienent scapegoat.

That's the only plan they ever have.

Render's comment seems insane, but there is a creepy underlining truth to the suggestion that this administration would allow another terrorist attack (or manufacture one themselves)

to save their sinking ship of fools. The recent New York subway threat has proven to be a hoax, but it was a convenient one for this administration, what with NEWSWEEK even citing the decline of the bush administration with De Lay, Libby, and Rove involved in high profile scandals, and bush's true colors of racism and classism exposed by the New Orleans tragedy.

On the other hand, with all the natural disasters wrought by the climate change that our govt. denies, they may not need a terrorist attack--mother nature has been violated and is raising havoc all over the tropics.

But yes, these "psychopaths" are capable of who knows what.

Pick up a copy of the documentary "Loose Change," which has the best and most documented argument on how 9/11 was not what we were led to believe it was and could have been prevented. The revelations about the economic interests and communique's between govt. officials prior to the attacks are startling.

The "good bad" news is that the American public has weathered enough tragedy and bu(ll)shit that they may have developed a healthy level of skepticism to pyschologically survive any future stunts that the neo-con scum may pull.
