Kucinich sure can point the finger...

And not at the other members of Congress (including 29 Democratic senators and 73(?) Democratic house members) who voted to attack Iraq if Saddam Hussein didn't give up weapons... So sure, blame Bush, it was all him.
Rep. Dennis Kucinich's single impeachment article will get a committee hearing — but not on removing President Bush from office.

This time, the panel will open hearings. But House Democratic leaders emphatically said the proceedings will not be about Bush's impeachment, a first step in the Constitution's process of a removing a president from office.

Instead, the panel will conduct an election-year review — possibly televised — of anything Democrats consider to be Bush's abuse of power. Kucinich, D-Ohio, is likely to testify. But so will several scholars and administration critics, Democrats said.

The impeachment resolution alleges that Bush misled the public into thinking that he had no choice but to wage war on Iraq and implied that Iraq had helped al-Qaida with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
OK, so Bush misled the public. Then what role did all the others play?

Lest we remind everyone, the Senate voted 77-23. Daschle himself said it was important for the country "to speak with one voice at this critical moment."
Daschle, D-South Dakota, said the threat of Iraq's weapons programs "may not be imminent. But it is real. It is growing. And it cannot be ignored."
Even Kerry voted for it (of course, before he voted against it).

So let me just make sure I have it straight. The Dems were not for the war ever, at all. They only voted for it because Bush forced them to. (Of course, b/c he knows all the brainwashing tricks.) And even if they did vote to go to war, it was only because Bush presented faulty intelligence that they were forced to believe. (I see now.)

So much for independent thinking and stand-strong leadership.
