No way they would impeach Clinton merely for murdering Iraqi civilians. There's even a recent precedent to exonerate ol' Slick; Reagan blasted Grenada to bits in order to distract the dispirited American public after the bombing in Beirut, and that was OK. And what about Iran-Contra, where CIA-funded mercenaries butchered thirty thousand civilians? Reagan (and Bush, and Casey, and Poindexter, and North) all lied and perjured themselves repeatedly and systematically about the Contra business, but did Reagan get impeached? Of course not. Some lies, after all, are forgivable. Charles, we call those "white lies."
Congress certainly would never impeach a president for a little peccadillo like mass-murdering civilians, especially as they're foreign civilians. We save impeachment for really major crimes, such as a politician having a sex affair and neglecting to supply the opposition party with videotapes in time for their next election campaign.
More damned bombs. Excuse me, I have to go get drunk, or bash my head against a wall, or something.
