No. Most of the offenses can be ignored since it is other people in the administration (direct links to the president would be VERY hard to find, if they even exist). So in my opinion 'offenses' 3,4, and 5 can be thrown out right there.
Number 2 can also be thrown out since it isn't a lie as old weapons that were supposedly destroyed were found, plus any fallacies in that regard would be blamed on the intelligence. Maybe it was false in some respects, but there is absolutely no way to prove that Bush or Cheney knew that at the time.
Number 7 is total garbage as precedents have shown that war does not have to be declared to bomb someone, it can be explained legally as a police action
Number 8 isn't well documented, it is mostly theory, and a large part of it falls into the same category as 3, 4, 5...
Just go ahead and throw 9 in with number two...
Number 10 is just wow... Saying you are going to break the law and doing it are two completely different things and prosecuting someone for saying that (no matter how many times) without direct proof (not provided) that it was carried out is not going to happen...
Number 11 may very well be illegal according to the constitution, however it is allowed by laws passed by congress that have not been brought before the courts. Therefore, the action could be viewed as illegal, but since the law supports it, it would simply be stopped and the law repealed.
Number 12 can be lumped in with the ever growing 3,4,5 lot plus you still have to prove directly that they concealed it. That is, again, very hard to do.
Number 13 A) this belongs with 3,4,5 B) their support link is to an article on their own site that uses a question mark in the title. In the article they say someone thinks it was tampered with... thinking could be used as a testimony, but it wouldn't convince any jury (beyond reasonable doubt) I've ever met...
Number 14 Prove that they were used "against personnel targets" and it will be illegal, however it is legal to use it against non personnel targets
So in my eyes, number 1 is the only charge that might hold up in some sort of court, and perhaps they should be impeached just for that, but I don't think that either should be kicked out of office (different from impeachment) for that...
