I have one opinion and one observation.

The opinion is the easiest. Simply put, Condi Rice should under no circumstances appear publicly under oath. Not only is this a breech of the separation of powers, but it gives any rogue Congress the opportunity to determine how a policy was made and by whom. To change historical precedent will result in present and future harm not easily anticipated or measured.

I have one observation. That is it is now clear what the RAT tactics will be. They will use former JC Shelton, Former Treasurer O'Neill, erstwhile author Woodward as well as Clarke to prove President Bush didn't appreciate Al Qaeda and that he wanted a war with Iraq in any way possible. This is where we must meet them and defeat them.

To defeat them will mean listing each and every RAT that believed WMD in Iraq, all of those (including Kerry) who thought Saddam to be out of control and so forth. A central list of all of these points should be on a given Web Site such that it can be accessed by all who wish to defend this Administration.

In my more paranoid moments I suspect the whole opposition to the Iraq conflict centers around our willingness to support Israel in defeating this proven enemy of theirs. No one dares speak of it, but the shear force of the opposition belies a strong underlying motive of resentment. In this I could be a 100% off target since many Jews not only vote RAT but also do not support the President's efforts at cutting off the supply of money to Hamas and others by removing Saddam.

Hear, Hear!

And your observations about the resistance to Iraq intervention and Israel have much merit IMO

Are you sure those aren't your more rational moments?
