What do you consider of greater importance, Stopping the Iraqi Occupation or
Holding the Administration/Republicans accountable. I believe regaining the Constitutional Rights that are guaranteed each America and restoring Law and Order are the most important issues that should be on the table right now but are not. Subpoenas must be enforced, Now even members of Congress feel they are "Privileged" and don't need to follow Law. Convicted Felons with five separate felony convictions are allowed to walk for political reasons. I am sorry but I place stopping the Iraqi Occupation much further down the list of essential goals then most here do..I want Impeachment and the thorough cleansing of the Government of the current criminal elements to be the very TOP Priority.

9. Agreed.
If the Constitution was upheld, the rest will follow. It's an illegal and unconstitutional war/occupation.

4. I think if law and order were restored, the illegal occupation would come
to a grinding halt. Right now these two negatives are feeding each other.

6. Because that wasn't the question in the OP..
Which basically asked which is *more* important to you.

14. It's a false choice.
"Either we can do the right thing -OR- we can do the right thing."

"Doing the right thing" means withdrawal from Iraq -AND- impeachment. If that means Congress does nothing else, then so be it. Reestablishing the rule of law in this country and regaining the respect of the rest of the world is more important than anything. Both are required if we are to move forward.

8. Holding the administration accountable. If we can't do that then we can't stop the Iraqi
Occupation. We have proved that already.

11. I don't happen to believe that any old impeachment would restrain Bush's militarism
I believe he would likely escalate it (Iran) to deflect and distract from the proceedings.
