David, you're correct that they know they can't get a conviction in
the Senate against Bush.  Too many Republicans.  That situation will
be rectified in November, but Bush will be out of power in January.
What they're likely to do is impeach him in the House, but no have no
trial.   Then, next year, with a Democratic President and a much more
heavily Democratic Congress, they will have private citizen George
Bush investigated by an independant counsel.  He could end up getting
charged with violating the U.S. Constitution, and sent to prison in
the U.S.  Or, he could be sent to Europe for prosecution for War
Crimes.   As for your "pleaaaaaaaaaaaaasse, that WON'T HAPPEN", do you
remember Vice President Spiro Agnew?  He did two years in Federal
Prison for felony obstruction of Justice.  Bush is a lot like Agnew.
An arrogant big mouth who's way out of his depth.  They could well
make a scapegoat out of him.
