Turn over the Clinton files...
They must of had plenty of documentation to support WMD from all of their public and policy statements including the resolution for Regime Change in Iraq.

Since the Democrats managed to stack every "investigating committee" or "investigating commission" in their favor while Republicans were in charge, can we please do the same thing now?

We should refuse to let them choose the members of ANY of these committees, without using every parliamentary rule in Robert's Rules of Order to block it.

Henry (Mr. Nostrils) Waxman (D. CA) is ready to rock-'n-roll with investigations.

The unstated goal is to effectively paralyze the lame-duck administration by tying them up with 1,001 committees, panels, investigations, testimony, blah blah blah, for the next 2 years.

In the meantime, the far left in Europe has already geared up for war crime trials, starting with Rummy. The radicals instigating this are being reported on US radio as a legitimate organization, not a fringe group. And so it begins...

It's going to be a long, tough, two years.

In my local paper this morning, a former Mayor, a Democrat, announced forming a local group to support the impeachment of President Bush.

And so it begins...

The Arabs are laughing their heads off.

On AMC, Patton just uttered the "Rommel you maginificant Bastard, I read your book!" line.

The much maligned Leopold, moonbat of the left, have kicked our moonbat's arse.

He was smart enough to shut up, and let the Dems gain thru faux conservatism.

Our moonbats said OK, let's surrender because we want to send a message!

You confuse Arabs with radical Muslims.

The moderate Arabs in the Gulf are friends and strong allies.

They can just never get enough of going over and over the past, spending taxpayer money over and over. This is not much of a new direction.

Good, now the Democrats will have to explain how they thought Iraq had WMD in the Clinton administration. I'm curious how they are going to subpoena the British Intelligence who confirmed Saddam was seeking high grade Uranium from Niger. During President Bush's State of the Union address he didn't say American Intelligence, he said British Intelligence.

Be prepared for treasonous attempts by the dims to undermine the CIA during wartime. Jay-off Rockefeller is the next Senate Intel committee chaircritter (a new Frank Church?).

It's time to resuscitate the Rockefeller memo (which urged fellow Senate dims to use intelligence data for political purposes).

Will there be any GOP sens on the committee with the cojones to throw it right back in Rocky's face? That, and Rocky's pre-war trip to Syria (leaking to Bashar A$$hat that the US was determined to invade their neighbor, Iraq).

THere is a LOT of info. with which to fight back. At worst it wold lead to a stalemate. The question is, will the GOP grow a spine?

Nobody will lay a hand on either Gorelick or Burglar. You can take that to the bank.

OTOH, I hope I'm wrong.

"What a surprise! The Democratic agenda for the future seems to be pursuing the past ..."

Must be none of the Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee were awake to ask questions during the hearings the last time.

"We should refuse to let them choose the members of ANY of these committees, without using every parliamentary rule in Robert's Rules of Order to block it."

That would take backbones in Republican Senators, and from what I understand, their backbones are surgically removed during the Senate Republican Orientation period.

Everybody seems to think already that Bush somewhat cooked/lied about the intelligence to get us into this war. If that is true, I agree Bush should be impeached. I just do not believe it. Bush and the GOP should have taken the challenge and put out in the daylight that he acted based on what he had in front of him at the time. The Democrats controlled the Senate and the Intelligence Cmte then , had great access to what the CIA had and embraced the rationale that Saddam needed to be removed. Bush has failed to convince the American people on this critical issue, undermining the will to see this through
