1. Nope.
As long as the Asshole-in-Chief is in the White House, he'll claim that he can do whatever the fuck he wants with the military.

10. Exactly! This is the whole idea...
Why people are believing anything Bush says about Iranian weapons after Iraq is beyond my understanding, but most Democrats, even Obama continue to lie about Iran being a threat.

12. Well I certainly do not see too many Democrats challenging
the war drums from this administration.

Since Obama believes the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is a terrorist organization all it will take is some incident to escalate the conflict with Iran.

3. Yes.
No confidence, no support. Illumination of his sham case for going to war.

Who the hell is going to fight for him?

8. Yes, but only if he is also removed from office...
...because, it takes the sociopath's finger off the trigger.

9. I don't know if impeachment would PREVENT war with Iran, but it will certainly
make it more difficult to achieve. Once underway, an impeachment investigation will begin to reveal crimes and more lies. That will remove almost all traces of support for George Bush and Dick Cheney. The die hards will still pledge their love and devotion to the two criminals, but the rest of the country, including Congress members hoping to get re-elected, will not stand for another war.

Impeachment is the very least Congress should do at this point.

11. If it means stopping war with Iran, we MUST impeach.

13. Prosecution after impeachment proceedings would.
It is imperative that we do so. Invading Iran would be utterly catastrophic.

Which is exactly what they want. Disaster capitalists know how to profit from war, and from rebuilding the very wreckage they've caused.
