The problem isn't impeaching Bush. The problem is the precendent that impeaching Clinton left. Impeachment is now a purely political move that can be comitted on the executive whenever congress's winds turn against him. It no longer has anything to do with protecting the nation from a criminal president.
There's AMPLE grounds for impeachment proceedings against Bush. I'm not saying there's necessisarily grounds for conviction, but I'd say there's definitely enough evidence to move forward with proceedings. I could even see the 70% of the US who currently disapprove of him uniting under one banner--it could be a very unifying thing for the country. But first we have to deal with the political perception of impeachment.
