Let me be on the record at this point for being opposed to impeaching Bush. I have been in favor of it in the past. But then Bush was riding high and there was lots of talk about war with Iran. At this point, with two years left, I think a war with Iran is really out of the picture.
That being said, I disagree with Pelosi's position that 'impeachment is off the table'. Impeachment should never be off the table. Not when Republicans are in charge. Not even when Democrats are in charge. It's a tool of check and balance and it should be used accordingly.
John Dean said in his most recent book that the Democrats had enough on Reagan to impeach over Iran Conta. But for the good of the country they met with him, got him to clean up his act, and didn't impeach. Because the stability of the country was more important than a political vendetta. Of course, Newt Gingrich didn't feel that way, but that's another story.
So I think we need to have a good ole fashioned "come to Jesus" sit down with Bush and get him to stop the torture, stop the secret prisons, to start using the FISA court, and to start listening to his critics. For the good of the country it's at least worth a try to knock some sense into the moron.
