Dennis Kucinich has posted on his Congressional website the Resolution Impeaching Richard B. Cheney, Vice President of the United States, for High Crimes and Misdemeanors, together with his note to The Dick.
The Resolution, formally introduced yesterday and given the designation H.R. 333, was referred to the House Judiciary Committee, which will likely be its final resting place.
There are three articles in the resolution. The first addresses what Kucinich calls the Veep's intentional manipulation of the intelligence to falsely convey the impression that Saddam has WMD at the ready for an attack on the United States or its allies.
The second article using similar language in accusing The Dick of putting out false intelligence linking the 9/11 attacks, Iraq, and al Qaeda.
The final article calls Cheney out on his current campaign against Iran and, essentially, says "there he goes again", in violation of the Constitution and UN Charter.
Unfortunately, these Resolutions have no chance of resulting in any hearings or investigations, as the Democrats are too chicken-livered to take on anything this hot. Just like they were afraid to call out Bush when he wanted to invade Iraq in the first place, and just as today they will back down on their demand for a timetable and pull back from any claim of a lost cause.
