To echo dc_dux (up to a point), multitasking is generally the case in any Congress. "Billions" aren't going to get spent on this investigation, and other things will get accomplished. If Bush stonewalls, the legislative process won't grind to a halt. It will occupy the headlines without a doubt, but the worker bees in Congress (i.e. the staffers) will continue their tasks unabated.
Should Bush be impeached? I say no, if for no other reason than it would really grind things to a halt and distract the country from other things. I also wonder how it would affect nations that have never been friendly to us and those that only recently became friendly. I don't really believe that we can "send messages" to terrorists, but impeachment would probably be the exception to that rule.
Congress has a duty to investigate. Honestly, some of the investigations should have happened years ago but were held up because of partisan politics. Unfortunately, it's taking partisan politics to correct that oversite.
