Anything to distract from the Alito nomination and keep the pot boiling over Iraq.

Effin' traitors the Democrats are.

Roberts read the memo into the record in the senate yesterday after the closed session ended.

Also note that the republicans agreed only that 6 senators could check on the progress of the phase II investigation. This did not set up a new investigation, or require any work on phase 2. It is a fact-finding group to check what's going on with phase II.

We of course already know what is going on with phase 2. It was largely done in May, but the democrats wanted to put hundreds of quotes from white house officials and show how they compared to actual intelligence (to show "distortion").

The republicans, rather than deny the democrats that opportunity, merely said "Ok, but we will also include hundreds of quotes from democrat senators on the same issues.

The democrats balked at that, so there has been a fight ever since, and the report has sat unfinished.

Two days ago Roberts told the democrat staff that it was time to finish this up, there would be a week of hearings and then the report was coming out November 14th.

The next day, Reid pulls this stunt. I believe this is to argue that when the report comes out, it will "prove" what reid said yesterday, since there will be no evidence of wrongdoing.

In response to this fiasco, I think Sen Pat Roberts said that, regarding part 2 of his committee's investigation, whatever flew off the fan would have to be cleaned up.

I think he was implying that the democrats should have been careful what they asked for...they will not be "pleased" by the findings in the report of Senate findings the dems are demanding be expedited.

Here's the reason why they did it, explained by the best mined in politics ... today.


So Democrats are obstructing because they... are unhappy that Fitzgerald did not indict on this basis...(to pursue the notion that this prewar intelligence was known to be untrue, that Bush lied)... , so they are going to make it happen.

Where's the backbone of the Republican Senators? Tell the Democrats to go pound sand. Everything the democrats want, they get? To hell with that.

The Republicans should block every move the Democrats want, and infuriate them more. Make the Democrats explode in rage. Then laugh at them in their faces as they continue to lie about everything. The Democrats don't realize just how angry the 'flyover country' has become with them.

And to those 'Demoacrats-In-Disguise' commonly called RINO's ... you better watch out, because the Republican Party has your number and your campaign cash is about to be diverted to your primary competitor.


Someone tells me.

I'm still watching, though, and not yet convinced.

A state of insurrection exists in the Senate Democratic leadership. Reid should have been arrested yesterday.

Rush is saying the Dems hatred for Bush and his administration,is so ingrained in their thoughts...and the fact that Bush "lied" about weapons of mass destruction,is so cemented in their minds, that they can't see or face reality. He's loving how they are imploding right before our eyes. He said he lives for this day...
Rush just loves these "see I told you so" moments. haha

Reid and Jay Rockefeller are asses. Rockefeller's secret memo reeks of a conspiracy which would in effect undermine the U.S. government and put to risk its citizens in time of war including our great men and women serving in the armed forces.

2004 : (LEAKS BY DURBIN, ROCKEFELLER & WYDEN CONCERNING A CIA SATELLITE PROGRAM - See MISTY?) The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into whether Democratic Senators Dick Durbin, Jay Rockefeller and Ron Wyden leaked details about a secret "black ops" CIA satellite program last December in a move that may have seriously compromised national security, former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense Jed Babbin said on Saturday.
"The CIA made a request to the Justice Department to investigate and possibly bring criminal charges against these three [senators]," Babbin told WABC Radio host Monica Crowley. "My information is that investigation is ongoing."
Mr. Rockefeller is the Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and Mr. Durbin is the number two ranking Democrat in the Senate.
Media reports on the satellite leak last December indicated that the Bush administration was concerned about public comments by Durbin, Rockefeller and Wyden and that the CIA had requested a Justice Department probe.
"The formal request for a leaks investigation would target people who described sensitive details about a new generation of spy satellites to The Washington Post, which published a page-one story about the espionage program Saturday [Dec. 11, 2004]," a Justice Department official told the Associated Press at the time.
But the same official told the AP that Justice "has not decided whether to investigate."
Former Deputy Undersecretary Babbin's comments on Saturday were the first indication that such a probe was actually launched and is ongoing.
"The fact of the matter is that [Durbin, Rockefeller and Wyden] divulged something that was above and beyond top secret and frankly, they probably blew the strategy and the hundreds of millions of dollars that were being spent to pursue it," he told Crowley.
"The acknowledgement of [the "black ops" program's] existence is not even proper and the acknowledgement of them and the details of them can very well damage national security," Babbin added.
Asked if he thought the three Senate Democrats should have their security clearances revoked for the duration of the leak probe, the former Defense Department official said, "Absolutely and forthwith. I mean, they should have been revoked at the time of the leak."
"There's really not much doubt about the leak having occurred," Babbin told Crowley. "It's in the press records, it's in the Congressional record. We know what they did." "The only question," he explained, "is how much damage was done by the leak. And that's part of the criminal investigation right now - to do a damage assessment, to figure out how much this is going to cost us strategically and militarily." --------- "Report: Justice Department Probing Durbin, Rockefeller CIA Leak," by Carl Limbacher, NewsMax, 7/23/05 , http:/newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/7/23/131312.shtml

Republicans need to be reminded of this every day until they decide to fight back.
