In a December 11, 2006, essay entitled
"Why Demand Impeachment Now?", Ms. Sweet writes, on behalf of the World Can't Wait national steering committee:
"The day Congress opens, World Can’t Wait will lead a major challenge to the political direction in this country since the election. A regime as criminal as the Bush regime still allowed to even remain in office? No! An unjust war started on lies, allowed to continue for four years despite an election where people meant to express how strongly they want it stopped? No! The Democrats, now the majority, allowing debate only on how to run the war more effectively, and saying that impeachment can’t even be considered? No!
"BUSH MUST GO! IF WAR CRIMES, TORTURE, AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY ARE NOT REASON TO IMPEACH, WHAT IS?
"This is no time to 'wait and see'. This is a critical time to take action and demand action. Open the investigations and start impeachment, now!"
Ms. Sweet spoke this afternoon with the
Impeachment Channel about the "Emergency Conference to Impeach Bush for War Crimes" in New York City on February 17th and 18th, and about why, if George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney are not removed from office by impeachment, rather than being allowed to serve out their full terms, a precedent will be established giving unlimited dictatorial power under a "Unity Executive" theory to all future U.S. Presidents.
