1. ** isn't worthy of impeachment...
too many other important issues to deal with right now. Let him face war crimes at a later date, preferably before he flees to Paraguay.

2. Can't we impeach him *and* send him to The Hague? Cheney, too?

4. Impeach Indict Imprison. After the investigations of course. I want him
impeached ASAP. After '08, he'll be in Paraguay. No touching him then.

5. I'd be inclined to wait until his term is over and prosecute his ass.
Impeachment, as attractive as it is, is a relatively minor penalty: basically, it's just firing him, with the result that he'll be unemployed a little earlier. On the other hand, you can't prosecute a sitting president -- you have to wait until he's out of office. So if I had to choose between the two, I'd go for waiting out his term and go after him hammer and tongs. Prosecute him for fraud, war crimes, everything that will stick. That way he goes to the Big House instead of a comfortable retirement at the Pig Farm.

6. Impeachment isn't an option, it's an imperative.
When they are found guilty of impeachable offenses, they will be impeached.

10. "Wait til after '08 elections???" - tell that to the soldiers in Iraq.
Tell that to the residents of the Lower 9th Ward in New Orleans.
