What is it with you guys and the assumptions you make in phrasing your questions? Before I can answer that question, it is up to you (or the person making the accusations) to establish that "Bush misled the country into war." In other words, any attempt I make at addressing the question implicitly admits that I agree on the basis of the question (Bush lying). The onus of proof isn't on me. Further to the point, this thread isn't about the whether or not the President misled us into war, it's about the New York Times suppressing information that would support Bush's impeachment. I believe there are already several threads on the justification for war, and whether or not Bush misled the country and the world. Seriously, try the search function if that's the debate you're looking for.

Now you make the clever little statement that there is nothing "illegal" about lying to the world, the country and congress but I would say that we should let the political lawyers decide on that matter. I am sure if impeachment was supported by enough people then some charges would be dug up.

There you go again. See above Mantus. This is getting old. You must establish that Bush lied/misled, whatever. And your summation of my quote is seriously off base. Stop reading what you want my words to be, and read the words that are actually there (don't add your own).
Charges would be dug up? And finally the true agenda shines through....
if only enough people just wished real hard that Bush would be impeached, charges could somehow someway be brought against him. Fortunately Mantus, clicking your heals together 3 times and wishing real hard does not solid grounds for impeachment make.

3 times in one post you did it. That must be like, a TFP record or something.
