I certainly hope Boehner doesn't apologize. If he feels forced to say something he should say "I'll apologize the MINUTE the Democrats apologize for calling the president Hitler, a liar, etc."
Ditto. He really touched a nerve so if anything he should hit another one.
They don't want him to apologize. They will try to force him to admit that his "attack" must logically also apply too McCain, Graham, Warner and Powell.
I hope he confirms that it does and that he flat out questions their judgment, not to say their honor.
I think he might just do that, to. If he does he'll probably try to dismiss Warner's "culpability" by saying he was swayed (meaning fooled) by McCain and Graham. He should take the opportunity to express great regret at the collapse of the reputation of Colin Powell over his disgraceful handling of the Plame/Wilson/Armitage affair and suggest that his actions are a vain attempt to curry favor with the media to avoid harsh treatment. Graham he should accuse of attempting to build a JAG empire, turning the military from a fighting force into a law firm, and point out how ineffective such a TO and E would be in combat and how the JAGs are the fools who refused to let us blow up the 170 Taliban gathered for a funeral. And McCain he can simply dismiss as power mad and consumed by ambition, willing to do and say anything to try to gain the Presidency, even sell out the troops and the country.
