Is it Treason?

How well do you know the reasons Bush senior did not order a full invasion of Iraq after he pushed Iraq out of Kuwait? If you knew they were the same reasons we Progressives give for why the Decider Bush should not have invaded Iraq. If you knew that in 1994 that Cheney gave Bush senior's reasons for not invading Iraq, and then in 2003 he made a 180 degree turn and gave arguments diametrically in opposition to his 1994 statements, did he lie in 1994 or in 2003? If he was correct in 1994 he must have lied in 2003. If he lied in 2003 (along with Duba and others) I would certainly think that was grounds for impeachment, but would it not also be grounds for Treason? Treason not only for the deaths and maiming of US citizens based on lies but also hundreds of thousands of Iraqi men , women and children killed, maimed or displaced also based on those lies. If you would like to see what Cheney said in '94 and what he,Rummey, Bush and others said in 2003 click on the following; Treason or Not?

Interesting Post, JB, but I don't think that was treason, because it could be argues thatchanged circumstances changed his mind. However, attempting to establish a permanant one party rule, via Constitutional violations, is.
