Foley: Graham Must Apologize for Bush
Impeachment Remark
These attacks have only intensified. Sen. Bob Graham, once thought of as a moderate Democrat, regularly accuses Bush of a cover-up and has raised the specter of impeachment. Bush’s Mistakes Christopher Ruddy
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Bob Graham defended his assertion that President Bush's actions in making the case for the war in Iraq reach the standard of an impeachable offense set by Republicans against former President Clinton. "Clearly, if the standard is now what the House of Representatives did in the impeachment of Bill Clinton, the actions of this president [are] much more serious in terms of dereliction of duty," the Florida Democrat and presidential hopeful said on "Fox News Sunday." Graham also charged that Bush "knowingly" misled the American people about the reasons for going to war in Iraq -- both by claiming that Iraq was trying to buy uranium in Africa and by withholding information about the length, danger and expense of postwar reconstruction. "This president failed to tell the American people what he knew about the consequences of military victory in Iraq," Graham said on NBC's "Meet The Press." "He understood what the cost was going to be. He understood the casualties. He understood the duration of time. "None of that was shared with the American people. And so we went to war, not only on the basis of weapons of mass destruction that we may or may not find, but [we] went to war without the knowledge of what the full consequences would be."
