Is a successful terrorist attack grounds for….


Since 9/11 it would seem to most logical people that the primary job of the government of the United States and the Commander and Chief of the United States (that’s you Barack), would be the protection of the people of this country from another attack. So my question to the members of RedState is this, would a successful terrorist attack rise to the level of "high crimes and misdemeanors"? In other words if a President from any party allows an attack on this country after 9/11does it rise to the level of an impeachable offense?

Just a thought provoking exercise that I’m sure there would be a lot of opinion on.

Ok, I’ll play… If a terrorist attack on American soil is as you say “high crimes and misdemeanors” who should we be charging for the anthrax attacks, and the DC Sniper attacks?

Terrorist attacks are going to happen… they have always happened. You will never be able to protect yourself from 100% of all attacks even if you locked everyone up… I mean heck we cant even keep contraband out of our high security prisons… what makes you think we can keep it out of a plane?

with all of the mechanism’s that we have been told are in place to stop an attack then at some point SOMEONE has to be held accountable if there is an attack and I’m pretty sure it shouldn’t be some low level employee, I’m thinking maybe we should start to hold people accountable from the top down instead of the other way around.
