Arthur Schlessinger, Jr.: "There stretch ahead for Bush a thousand days of his own. He might use them to start the third Bush war: the Afghan war (justified), the Iraq war (based on fantasy, deception and self-deception), the Iran war (also fantasy, deception and self-deception). There is no more dangerous thing for a democracy than a foreign policy based on presidential preventive war."

Josh Marshall: "Drumheller's account is pretty probative evidence on the question of whether the White House politicized and cherry-picked the Iraq intelligence ... It's devastating evidence against their credibility on a slew of levels ... What Drumheller has to say adds quite a lot to our knowledge of what happened in the lead up to war. But what it shows even more clearly is that none of this stuff has yet been investigated by anyone whose principal goal is not covering for the White House."

EJ Dionne: "The administration's one and only domestic priority in 2006 is hanging on to control of Congress ... the danger of a Democratic takeover of at least one house of Congress looms large and would carry huge penalties for Bush. The administration fears "investigations of everything" by congressional committees ..."

Glen Bolduc: "The resolution charges the administration with misleading the public and violating the Federal Torture Act. It accuses the president and vice president of invading privacy and jeopardizing constitutional rights ... By a 28-7 vote, the Kennebec committee became the first county committee in Maine to pass such a resolution ... State Democratic parties, including those in New Mexico, Nevada, North Carolina and Wisconsin, voted in February to urge Congress to impeach Bush. A Zogby International poll showed 51 percent of respondents agreed that Bush should be impeached if he lied about Iraq, a far greater percentage than believed President Bill Clinton should be impeached during the Monica S. Lewinsky scandal."
