Iraq War Impeachment Action Advice

I'm putting IMPEACHMENT on the kitchen table (ours)

We’ve got ourselves a problem. To use Bruce Fein’s word, let’s don’t be “invertebrate” about it.
What’s our problem? A misbegotten war which is doing harm in this world. And the world is watching. So straighten up and stand straight. Take a deep breath. And remember that only action will be enough to show we are up to our own high standards.
If you want impeachment, say it. No weasel words about finding the right time. Whoever sits in the White House after the election can’t help but care about that issue, so be so advised when “hopefuls” ask for your support. However proceedings unfold, we must agree that Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney have let us down, and we want them to understand they aren’t doing the job of a president and vice-president.
It’s going to take some starch. It’s easy enough to sit looking at a monitor and letting your itchy fingers scratch out frustration. But telling a soldier’s kin how you feel may cause some flak. Not the kind of flak the poor soldier is taking. Think of him and try to be as brave as he is.
The scribes with their four-syllable words are going to be the hardest to wean from their elocution. Just say it. IMPEACH! The old bumper sticker might help them. WHEN CLINTON LIED, NO ONE DIED!
I personally advise against irrational exuberance. By that I mean, let’s don’t get sidetracked into instant philosophy. Wars may always be among us. Well, maybe. Let’s don’t make it this ill-conceived war, however.

Words to live by

I've essentially been driven out of activism, and being gainfully employed is much more attractive than being marginalized. Note this doesn't mean there are no benefits - it means it's not worth the costs. The fact that the skeptical side considers a weighing of positives and negatives, while the marketing side seems to follow a cultist reinforcement of only favorable evidence, inclines me to believe that the skeptical side is right and the marketing side is wrong.
