Tuesday Topic Week 7

by BB2
This marks the seventh week in the One Million Blogs for Peace Tuesday Topic series.

In this past week we have seen calls for impeachment of Bush and Cheney from many corners. From protests on the beach to the introduction of an impeachment resolution in the Senate aimed at Cheney for the false pretenses of the Iraq war and threats to Iran.

We've seen a subpoena issued for Condi Rice to testify before the justice department and her refusal to appear.

The Gonzales affair continues to gain steam with Monica Goodling receiving limited immunity to testify, more incriminating email logs and Deputy Attorney General James Comey also under subpoena.

And finally Bush once again ignoring the will of the people and Congress as he vetoes the Iraq War funding bill which contained a timetable for the withdrawal of the troops.

With Bush's veto in mind, here is today's Tuesday Topic:

Tuesday, 1 May 2007
The United States Congress passed a bill last week limiting war funding and calling for substantial withdrawal by next March.
President Bush is expected to veto. It is also expected that there are insufficient votes to override this veto, and this will lead to negotiations on a compromise bill.
Do you trust those who are against the war in the US Congress to stick to their policies and stand up for peace? If not, do you find any wholly political solutions likely or viable for the short-term in ending the Iraq War?
