Commons motion to impeach Blair gets go-ahead.

[livinginphotographs]

(sorry if this is a dupe)

The parliamentary motion to impeach Tony Blair for "gross misconduct" over the war against Iraq will be published next Wednesday, the day after the Queen's speech.

It will be the first to be tabled in 198 years, since Lord Melville, a close friend of the then prime minister, William Pitt the younger, faced impeachment for misusing public money in running the Admiralty.

-snip-

Adam Price, the Plaid Cymru MP who launched the campaign for the motion, said yesterday: "This is the only way left to MPs to call the prime minister to account over his conduct in the war against Iraq."

1. I use to like Blair...

Till he got chummy with Shrub. It worries me that they may replace him with an even bigger RW looney.....

2. This is going to sound weird, but

I just got tears in my eyes. Lord help them.

4. Lets hope all lords and commoners help them n/t

5. The Brits

are putting the heat on Blair. They are doing more than we are. What will it take? Maybe a draft will generate some energy for ALL Americans to realize they have sold the USA down the river for the Chimp.

9. Draft hunger, depresion

this is what it will take... muricans are too comfortable to pay attention STILL

3. Can they introduce a motion to impeach our Idiot in Chief?

Since our Congress won't do it, I am begging Europe for help. Please!

[njnop]

7. Yes

There are two of us here and we are saying YES to impeachment

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. Oh my LORD

can we get Parlaiment to transfer a back bone to the Colonials over here?

Oh never mind...

8. William Pitt the younger? I wonder if William Pitt the DUer is any

relation?

[Stephanie]

13. I think he actually is related

He's posted about it before. Point him to this thread.

10. If the Brits move forward and actually impeach the upper class twit,

how can congress not do the same to the monkey? Aren't they both liable for taking their nation to war under false pretenses?

11. First impeach Blair.

Then win in 2006 Congressional elections, and impeach Dubya.

14. By Jove! I believe we've got a plan :-).

12. Blair is very politically savvy

In all likelihood, he will survive the attempt at impeachement, It may even be possible that the BFEE will use bribery if necesary to effect the votes. But it will cost Blair in further support for Iraq.

[Spazito]

15. I, too, think he will survive but it is a hugely humiliating...

black mark on his 'legacy'.

[gapower]

So weird that

Blair, the liberal, shoots Iraqis right and left while Chirac, the conservative, says Non Bush Merci.
