Eagleburger Sounds Impeachment Alarm

Atrios and Tom Runnacles both have links to a summary of a BBC interview with former Secretary of State under George Bush I, Lawrence Eagleburger in which Eagleburger is asked if the administration will use its Iraq military success as a pretext for “regime change” in other Middle Eastern countries. Eagleburger says flatly that if Bush the Younger sends the troops to Syria and Iran, he should be impeached. (This is my somewhat imperfect, but fairly accurate, transcript of Eagleburger's remarks):

(Lawrence Eagleburger, laughing) I can only tell you….maybe I’ll be made of fool of when I say this but I can’t even imagine that and I’ve only recently heard somebody else say that this is a possibility. I just don’t think that anybody who says that truly understands the American people. You saw the furor that went on in this country before the President got sufficient support to do this. We’re just not built like that. Whether anybody is prepared to admit it or not, this is still a democracy and public opinion and the public still on these issues rules. If George Bush decided that he was going to turn the troops loose on Syria now, and Iran after that, he would last in office for about 15 minutes. You’re talking to somebody who frankly wishes we could knock Syria around a bit because I think they have been absolutely outrageous for years in terms of their support for terrorism. But, because I happen to believe that, doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. If President Bush were to try it now, even I would feel that he ought be impeached. You can’t get away with that sort of thing with this democracy. It’s ridiculous.

You can listen to entire interview here. It's about ten minutes into the program.
