U.S. deception over Iraq war is impeachable

To the editor:

I think the American people should be outraged with the Bush administration, which pushed us into a costly war by preying on our fear of attack. Administration officials told us Iraq had stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. Now it's discovered this was a lie and the story was made up to secure economic gain through oil.

Thousands of civilians were killed. The cost is in the range of several billion dollars. Terrorism has seen a surge of energy in response to our attack. Our troops are killed daily, and we are calling for more troops. Why are we there? If infidelity is an impeachable matter, then certainly this is. This is a treason against the American people, and we must demand justice.
