Sen. Joe Biden, the loquacious long-shot Democratic presidential candidate, warned President Bush Thursday that he would move for impeachment if the president unilaterally authorized a military strike against Iran.
“The President has no authority to unilaterally attack Iran and … if he does, as foreign relations committee chairman and former chairman of judiciary, I will move to impeach him,” Biden told a crowd of about 100 potential voters at a campaign stop in New Hampshire.
Biden said he is meeting with constitutional law experts and plans to send Bush a legal memo formally outlining his warning, according to Seacoast Online, which reported his comments.
The senior Delaware senator told the crowd that calls for Bush’s immediate impeachment were valid but may not have enough constitutional support to make them viable. He added that Bush wasn’t the only White House figure who deserves to be booted.
“If you’re going to impeach George Bush, you better impeach Cheney first,” Biden said, garnering applause from the crowd.
On MSNBC’s Morning Joe Friday, host Joe Scarborough, a former Republican congressman, criticized Biden’s proposal.
“It is so unfortunate, that this is how we campaign now, talking about impeachment,” Scarborough said, “when you have [Iranian president Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad talking about obliterating Israel, talking about obliterating the United States, talking about building nuclear weapons, how we can’t stop him. Saying just absolutely horrendous crazy things, sending Iranian forces into Iraq to kill American troops.
“And Joe Biden, who I like and respect, talking on the campaign trail about impeaching a commander in chief because of a decision that he may make against a madman,” he continued. “And everybody knows that Ahmadinejad is a madman, and that Iran is one of the most dangerous planets on Earth.”
One assumes Scarborough meant to say “most dangerous countries on Earth.”

Just goes to show that Scarborough’s brain isn’t on planet Earth.
Amandinnerjacket is just a puppet for the ruling mullahs, he has no real power and everyone knows that, except for our heavily propagandized American sheeple.
Gonna take on Russia too Holy Joe? Pooty’s already warned Bu$hco and Cheneyburton not to attack Iran because he’s got missiles aimed at Europe.
Anthony,
I saw this message earlier and I decided not to post it because Biden is sending the WRONG MESSAGE to the American people.
Biden is actually telling us that he is letting Bush off the hook as far as Impeachment unless Bush attacks Iran.
What the Democrats should be doing is CARRYING OUT IMPEACHMENT instead of falsely dangling impeachment as a carrot stick.
Demands for Impeachment are being heard LOUDLY from coast to coast and whatever message Biden is saying is no doubt coming from the offices of Nancy Pelosi.
The Democrats are actually doing a disservice to the American people by shirking their Constitutional responsibility to hold this President and the Vice President accountable for their Crimes in office.
The message that should be going out is:
IMPEACH NOW!!
What a self serving asshat, surely he must realise that there is already more than enough reason for impeachment. A real man, Dennis Kucinich has called for it more than once and now is the time to push for impeachment. Joe Blow is a well indoctrinated politician and is just another example of fish & bad company. Like Joe Lieberman his aroma is stifling and the only remedy is replacement…G:
Good point, GEF.
Some weeks ago, I posted an article in which Ralph Nader claimed that Bush has let it be known that if the Democrats move to impeach him, he will bomb Iran, and that is why they are afraid to do so.
Others, like Kucinich, believe that impeachment is the only way to prevent Bush from attacking Iran.
Holy cow!
They must’ve had to medicate Speaker Botox after she heard this!
Remember, Miss Nancy says:
“Impeachment is of off the table.”
And,
“Bush isn’t worth impeaching.”
And my favorite,
“I don’t see the connection between torture and impeachment.”
Methinks that Botox has seeped into her brain. 🙂
Geezerpower,
Well said! I hope Pelosi gets replaced by Nancy Sheehan!

Anthony,
I don’t think we should be afraid of Bush’s threats because the self serving Democrats have the backing of more than half of the American people and they have 75% of the American people for Cheney’s Impeachment alone..
I think Bush and Cheney should be very afraid and not the other way around..
LOL*)

Christopher,
As the weeks drag on it will only get worse for Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats.
They believe they can drag this out until Nov 2008 but how wrong they are..
The more they drag it out the more chances of a revolution in this country and that will get ugly..
If you look around you see thousands of irate people out there fed up with the Govt and the Orwellian Law enforcement that we see occurring…
Mrs Twittle Botard better come down from her perch and Impeach these Bas…..!
