Articles of Impeachment filed against Cheney!
U.S. Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich filed three Articles of
Impeachment against Vice President Richard Cheney on April 24th. Kucinich said
he is doing this to try to stop Cheney from starting a war against Iran, as he
had done under false pretences in 2003 against Iraq.
The three Articles of Impeachment charge that:
(1) Cheney manipulated the intelligence process and lied to the nation about
Iraq having weapons of mass destruction;
(2) Cheney manipulated the intelligence process and lied to the nation about
Iraq's alleged ties to Al Qaeda;
(3) Cheney has "openly threatened aggression against the Republic of Iran
absent any real threat to the United States."
Further, subpoenas will be issued by two different House committees to Bush
administration officials who have been obstructing inquiries into the lies used
to get the U.S. into the Iraq war and into the controversial firing of U.S.
Attorneys. (Click

The Vermont State Senate also passed a resolution on April 20, to impeach
both President Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney, by a vote of 16-9. The
passage of a similar resolution by Vermont's House would require the Congress to
consider impeachment (More

Lyndon LaRouche first called for Cheney's removal from office in 2002, during
the build-up for the Iraq war, and has led the campaign ever since. The LaRouche
Youth Movement, who spearheaded the passage of an "Impeach Cheney" resolution at
the Los Angeles County Democratic Committee recently, will again be raising the
issue at the California State Democratic Party convention in San Diego on April
28.
