First Democrats must have a political agenda. That missing Democratic strategic objective contributes to loss of Democratic Congressional power.
There is no doubt that right wing Republican power brokers had a specific agenda - which included the silly, continuous investigations of Clinton. Sam Dash, assistant to Ken Starr, demonstrated the problem when he reviewed every case against Clinton from Whitewater on; recommending that every investigation be dropped for lack of any credible evidence. Investigations of Clinton were part of that political agenda.
Of course all that nonsense against Clinton was dropped after Clinton was no longer president. Clinton investigations were no longer required by right wing Republican party agenda.
To impeach George Jr, the Democrats must first define a specific political agenda. Democrats and moderate Republicans have been more interested in the nation's business and self serving legislation than to exercise a political agenda. No outright coveting of power (except by right wing Republicans) makes a George Jr impeachment all but impossible.
We have known this all along. There was no smoking gun. No reasons to justify an attack on Iraq. There was not then. And even worse, there was no evidence to even imply a smoking gun existed. This was even exposed by Sen Graham (FL) when he forced the CIA director to admit same - in weeks before Geroge Jr's UN speech last year and before the Iraq attack. Today we know the CIA direction was telling the truth. Even the CIA director conceded there was no solid evidence for WMD in Iraq. But we attacked anyway.
Two separate reasons why an attack on Iraq was unprovoked. No smoking gun - which every patriotic American demands before conceeding to war. And no evidence that those WMD even existed. So many reasons why the Iraq attack was not justified that one MUST understand the agenda of "Project for The New American Century". That agenda defines America's new opinion of all other nations. An agenda that even encouraged all those silly Clinton investigations. An agenda must also exist in the Democratic party before any George Jr impeachment is suggested. Democrats have no such agenda.
The American people currently feel that we can attack anyone we 'feel' may be a threat - an agenda promoted by the "Project for The New American Century" that should disturb Billy and his countryman. Democrats have no equivalent agenda which is why a George Jr impeachment is impossible.
