What the Downing Street Memo Means

When I want to read something that is more the a Limbaughesqe rant from the left that just calmly lays out the facts I visit LewRockwell.com to see what the libertarians are reading and writing. I visited there today to see what they were saying about the Downing Street Memo and I was not disappointed. I found the Administration's Offenses Impeachable by Robert Shetterly. So what does the Downing Street Memo mean?

So, what does it mean? It means that our president and all of his administration are war criminals. It's as simple as that. They lied to the American people, have killed and injured and traumatized thousands of American men and women doing their patriotic duty, killed at least 100,000 Iraqi civilians, destroyed Iraq's infrastructure and poisoned its environment, squandered billions and billions of our tax dollars, made a mockery of American integrity in the world, changed the course of history, tortured Iraqi prisoners, and bound us intractably to an insane situation that they have no idea how to fix because they had no plan, but greed and empire, in the first place.

What does it mean? It means that everyone in this administration should be impeached. It means that our Maine Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins and our Congressmen Tom Allen and Mike Michaud should call for immediate impeachment. They were lied to by their president, voted for war, and are thus complicit in the multiply betrayals of the American people unless they stand up now for the truth.

Go read the entire piece. The crimes of President Bush and his administration make even Nixon's sins insignificant.
