Time to censure Bush
If you haven't already, go to MoveOn's website, add yourself to their petition list. I excerpted their blurb, but even censure isn't enough. I want a boot up his ass on the way out the door January 2005.
In an attempt to escape responsibility for the misleading statements that led the nation to war, President Bush has announced plans to form an independent inquiry to look into what went wrong. An inquiry would serve the Bush administration well: it would envelop the issue in a fog of uncertainty, deflect blame onto the intelligence services, and push any political damage into 2005, after the upcoming election.
But the facts need no clarification. Despite repeated warnings from the CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency, President Bush and his administration hyped and distorted the threat that Iraq posed. And now that reality is setting in, the President seeks to pin the blame on someone else. We can't let him.
Congress has the power to censure the President -- to formally reprimand him for his betrayal of the nation's trust. If ever there was a time to use this function, it is now. Join the call for Congress to censure President Bush now.

Yes, I get those Move On mailings... and they get more depressing by the day. Bush has got to go, no question. I can't imagine a censure happening though in the current Republican climate, can you?... still I signed the petition. I sign most of them on MoveOn.org...
