November 16, 2007 (LPAC)--During the Nov. 15 debate of Democratic Presidential candidates in Las Vegas, Congressman Dennis Kucinich warned the audience that it would be folly to wait until after the Bush Administration launched a military attack on Iran, to begin impeachment proceedings.

Bush and Cheney are "out of control," he said. Speaking to the audience member who had raised her fears about a potential U.S. attack on Iran, and whose son had been deployed to Iraq, the Ohio Democrat emphasized that there is only one appropriate response: "It's called `impeachment.' You don't wait. You do it now. Impeach them now." CNN moderator Wolfe Blitzer tried to cut Kucinich off at that point, but the Congressman kept repeating the word "impeachment" to the thunderous applause of the audience which was on its feet.

Delaware Sen. Joe Biden also raised the impeachment issue during the same debate, but argued that impeachment proceedings should begin against Bush and Cheney "if they were to take the country to war in [Iran] without a vote of Congress, which will not exist..."
