According to Smith Ray, Doctor of Political Theory, Camden Polytechnic University in Maine he is "quite surprised that there has been so little talk of impeachment of President Bush, except on the part of the far left.
"When serious political researchers reflect on the Clinton impeachment," Ray remarked, "we really have to laugh. There was so little of substance there. OK he had sex with an intern and lied about it. What about the magnitude of lies that has taken us into Iraq?"
Ray acknowledges that Bush will not be impeached because Republicans hold all the power in Washington at the moment. But that hasn't stopped Ray from teaching a course on impeachment and actually preparing the appropriate articles.
"This process is quite easy and straightforward," he acknowledged. "The President took America to war under false pretenses, misrepresented the intelligence, linked Iraq with 9/11, and continued to argue that we must fight the terrorists in Iraq so we don't fight them in America."
Ray notes that only one American has said in public and on the record that president Buish lied to the country and that is Cindy Sheehan, who was camped out near the Bush ranch waiting for a meeting with the President.
Ray's class has already drawn up the articles of impeachment against Bush and is ready to give them to any interested party. The amateur politicans found that
"the President has violated his oath of office and put the country in danger. He has sent American men and women into an unethical, immoral war that had no basis in fact. He repeatedly misrepresented the intelligence that prompted the war. He has substantially depleted the US treasury, knowing full well that Iraq oil revenue will never repay this debt.
"There has been a well-documented conspiracy in the Bush administration to subsume the Iraq War under the unbrella of fighting terorism. Furthermore, the administrations has prevented any significant protest against the war by invoking and Patriot Act."
Ray thinks if his freshman college class can find so many reasons for impeachment, surely the more gifted in Washington might look into the matter.
In his class President Bush was impeached, defrocked and sent back to Texas before the summer holidays.
