The worst part is that nobody cares.

I'm not sure if we can truely say he is a murderer. If he wants to go to war , doesn't have have the authority to kill people??? I mean he is the commander of the military

The Clinton impeachment was a total sham and circus and it shameful that it even happened , but holding GW up for murder because of a Clinton impeachment seems like revenge and retribution more then anything

I think that average people are looking for checks and balances in the system to ensure that one person can't go of half cocked and just attack people without any immediate provocation. Or that there are implications for when things do go off the rails.

However, in any government, it seems to rarely works out like that.

don't you think congress does a pretty good job at checking a prez's war aims?
pretty sure a prez is impotent in military matters without congressional backing

I think the point of the video was to show that GW withheld information from Congress to get them to approve of military action

I think GW should be impeached, but going to war when ratified by Congress is not murder. I think they are barking up the wrong tree. I think he should be impeached for lying to the American people and to Congress.

But if he knowingly used falsified evidence to get Congress to vote in the war?

Then he should be impeached for lying to Congress and submitting false evidence. We don't want to set a precedence of trying presidents for murder for going to war just because the war ends up being unpopular. That would be a really BAD decision.
