Does he mean what he says, or is he just trying to save face?  If George Bush really continues his "stay the course" approach on Iraq, as he keeps indicating, impeachment proceedings, no matter how unsavory, may be the only option.

The whole world, literally, knows that Iraq is a flaming disfunctional cauldron of militias, religious fanatics, criminals and (Bush created) terrorists.  There is no hope.  There is no chance. George Bush did the impossible- he destroyed the Repubican Party and a majority that looked invincible only a few months ago.  And yet, that resounding "thumpin'" seems not to have moved him one iota. 

You must remember that George W. Bush answers to a higher "father".  That father seems to give W. messages that only he can hear.  If the Democrats don't put Bush's feet to the fire, even more American troops are going to be killed or have their arms and legs and brains blown off.  The day after the new congress takes office, they bear partial responsibility for every missing limb.

If the Democrats compromise on some phony proposition to allow Bush to save face, they should all be voted out of office immediately.  If they do all they can, and Bush stonewalls it, then it is impeachment time.  If Bill Clinton can be impeached for his dalliance with Monica Lewinsky, surely George W. Bush should be impeached for mass murder.  Before Clinton was impeached, all the talk was what a wrenching experience it would be for the country- well, we survived it, and with no loss of life.

The American people have spoken, and everyone seems to get it- except George W. Bush.  It's the Democrat's job to see that HE gets it.
