What does this mean? It means our President LIED to Congress, and to each of us in 2003, in order to take us to war. If that's not an impeachable and/or criminal offense, I don't know what is.
What is the cost? $200+ billion of our tax dollars gone, 1600+ of our soldiers killed, and 100,000+ innocent Iraqi people dead.
What can we do? The Average Man signed Congressman John Conyers' petition to demand an investigation (currently at 100,000 and counting!) If you've got time, call or write a letter to your newspaper or local TV station and urge them to cover this memo.
