Bush Administration Wanted Iraq War from the Beginning

Anyone with a functional brain pretty much knows that George W. Bush and his administration wanted to go to war with Iraq before, not because of 9/11.  We suspected for years, as official "reasons" for the invasion shifted from one ridiculous thing to another.  Then the "Downing Street Memo" pretty much confirmed it, though it really didn't come to much.  Now, it seems that it's certifiably true. And still? Not much.  It's really amazing that Democrats wield this big club, and won't use it. Even the prospect of an impeachment-in-search-of-a-cause from the other side probably won't do it.  I can't wait to see what ridiculous "high crime and misdemeanor" the Republicans try this time. It would take a doozy to outdo "lying about a blowjob."  Maybe smoking in a no-smoking area?
