Sen. Joe Biden, the loquacious long-shot Democratic presidential candidate, warned President Bush Thursday that he would move for impeachment if the president unilaterally authorized a military strike against Iran.

IF? You mean Bush hasn’t done enough harm to this country and the Constitution that only now impeachment awaits him if and only if he bombs Iran? Spare me the rhetoric Joe! “Elect me; I’ll impeach Bush and Cheney. Once we’re in power, we’ll stop the war in Iraq.”

 “Impeachment is on the table.” “Impeachment is off the table.” The words just keep coming and coming, because that’s all they are, words. I find it disturbing that “impeachment” threats are being bandied about as election promises, especially when that promise has a string attached to it. Why is it only OK to impeach the President after he bombs Iran? Isn’t lying the country into an illegal war with Iraq enough? Isn’t the destruction of the Constitution enough?

No Joe, your warning to impeach Bush if he bombs Iran is no different than a parent trying to discipline an already spoiled child. They are just words, because the child already knows that you won’t follow up on your threat. The child will throw a temper tantrum, and the parent will say or do whatever he wants just to shut him up. Just ask Nancy Pelosi, she knows all about caving in to spoiled children!
