Well, this was reprinted in of all things, the DemGaz…either Greenberg is on vacation or wasn’t paying attention.

Impeachment-What’s the Point?

Well, there is a point, and give Kucinich credit for trying to make it. Each day, Americans are gaining more detailed information that suggests it was not so much erroneous intelligence that led the Bush administration to conclude war was necessary; it was hubris. The president and Cheney discounted any counterargument to war because their minds were already made up. They refused to believe they could be wrong.

In fact, evidence suggests they didn’t care if they were wrong about Saddam Hussein’s having weapons of mass destruction. He was a bad player and they wanted him out of the way. The result, they believed, would be a remaking of the Middle East, with democracy rooted in Iraq blossoming throughout the land.

No need to dust off the homily about where good intentions lead you. Suffice it to say, the Bush doctrine has been blown off the tracks, though some believe it could make a recovery over time. That might mean decades.
