WASHINGTON — The first shot in the coming subpoena wars between congressional Democrats and the Bush administration likely will be fired in January by Senator Levin, a Democrat of Michigan.

The Senate Armed Services Committee's Democratic staff, soon to be in the majority, is already preparing to ask the Pentagon for documents related to analysis in the lead-up to the Iraq war from the offices reporting to a former undersecretary of defense for policy, Douglas Feith.

It is going to be interesting when the Dims stumble into bringing out all the information about the WMD found in Iraq ect.

Interesting that the attack will come from Karl Lenin who is very likely to retire after this term.

This is a perfect opportunity for the administration to finally get out there and lay out there case instead of letting the media and Dems trash them on this issue.

It doesn't matter if he disproves it. He will make the "contention". Then he wil be quoted. Then the lie grows; and finally, accepted as fact by the AHs who vote DIM or can be swayed.

I'm sure there will be plenty of closed door testimony.

I wish people would leave this alone in both directions - the issue is how best to handle the war we are in -we can let historians establish blame or credit for how we got in it.

It will be enjoyable watching Levin make an a$$ of himself by playing the gotcha game instead of working for the good of the country.

If they want to see the intel just show them. I don't see why you wouldn't do that unless it compromises ongoing missions.

The dems are just going to try the Jedi mind trick..."these aren't the WMD's you're looking for"...they'll claim they don't count for one reason or another. Either there were too few, or too old, or not the type we were concerned about.

The accusations and a complicit media are all he needs.

The facts matter not.

We all know what will be played on the alphabet news.



and what won't be shown

I meant the blogs and public debate - I agree congress should just get the intel that doesn't compromise ongoing investigations.

Carl understands that Al Qeda needs all the help they can get and is aggressively assuring that they get it personally.

No wonder the war in Iraq is dragging on when you got Rat politicians calling for investigations into everything under the sun and a feckless administration not standing up to them.

As I read the front end, and before I read your comments, I already had produced the same wording in my mind as you wrote.
I wonder if Levin and his crew of morons even have bothered to wade through the Harmony Database, and have their junior staffers read stuff by Steven Hayes, and all the documents our Jveritas has translated.
It could be pay back time for GWB. Surely he is aware of all the stuff we have been to a large extent privy to for the past year or so.
Tony had better make it clear to him to use many case studies that show the intellegience was not flawed as most of the world has bought into. It is high time for the American public to start saying "huh?" to all the rubbish they have been feed on a daily basis.

...instead of letting the media and Dems trash them on this issue.

I have a theory that helps me keep things straight in my head regarding the MSM.

The MSM is the marketing arm of the DNC, there simply is no distiction. The MSM is comprised of ad copy writers and spokespersons fraudulently posing as credentialed journalists in a news organization with the DNC as its principal client. What is horrifying is that they control the message 24/7 with unlimited access to the most powerful marketing channels known to man.

In fact, if you think about it carefully there really is no bias in the MSM because there is no concept of balance. Marketing firms play to their clients best interest to keep the contract.

Well, watch out folks. These "hearings" are scripted, very controlled. They don't look for facts, they look for predetermined results.
