Now, Pelosi, After this Smoking Gun, Will You Call for Impeachment?
Somebody please send Nancy Pelosi a copy of Ron Suskind’s latest book, “The Way of the World.”
Remember, Pelosi said last week that if anyone could demonstrate that Bush had broken any laws, then impeachment might be a different story.
Never mind that she apparently hasn’t bothered to read Dennis Kucinich’s 35-count bill of impeachment, or the violations of the laws, treaties, and the Constitution that Kucinich’s bill refers to..
But if she’s too lazy to study Kucinich’s bill, the least she could do is examine the smoking gun in Suskind’s book.
He says the White House ordered the CIA to forge and backdate a letter ostensibly from the head of Iraqi intelligence to Saddam Hussein.
The bogus letter “said that 9/11 ringleader Mohammad Atta had actually trained for his mission in Iraq,” Suskind reports.
The CIA backdated the letter to July 1, 2001, and managed to get it into the hands of a reporter for the London Sunday Telegraph in Baghdad, who wrote about it in December 2003 as if it were true, says Suskind. The reporter then appeared on Meet the Press and his story was touted by Bill O’Reilly.
Suskind points out that it’s illegal for the CIA to conduct covert operations “intended to influence U.S. political processes, public opinion, policies, or media.”
But that’s exactly what the CIA was doing, under orders from the White House.
This ought to get Nancy Pelosi to put impeachment on the table, if anything will!
