I will wait till the "official" report on Iraq's WMD comse out...not an "un-official" report by a group openly opposed to the war in Iraq.

While the report goes to great lengths theorizing why intelligence reports said their was WMD in Iraq, and is quick to say that there was no WMD for years, it does not offer any insight as to what happened to the WMD that were known to be there went, or why Saddam Hussein kept up the impression that he still harbored such weapons.

Remember it was not just the Bush administration that was convinced that Iraq had WMD. The Clinton administration too agreed the weapons were there...even going so far as to bomb Iraq in 1998 when they were no complying once again with sanctions and multiple UN resolutions authorizing to do so.

As for impeachment procedings, it is going to be hard pressed to get Congress and the Senate to vote on this since both the House and Senate Intelligence committees agreed that Iraq had WMD and both voted to approve the use of force against Iraq. Too many Congressmen and Senators would have to answer for voting for impeachment when they also believed the same evidence the Bush administration had and voted to give him the use of force to invade Iraq.
