Seems like Bush haters love to rewrite history. Clinton was acquited 2/12/99. The Kosovo war began 3/24/99.
So, again when did GOP call for Clinton's impeachment while at war ?
Yes, third place is some cheese, second place is a picture of a moose, and first place is a golden showerhead with the words Hugh and Series ingraved.
Only to the night crew.
Frustrated over the inablility to fluster Tenet at the hearings yesterday
The Democrats are proceeding as I suspected they would. They are overreaching wildly in an attempt to out-manhood each other in the Big Penis Contest they are having for their base voters.
The more excited they become, the more I believe that they are being set up for a huge fall.

Well, not really! We do have Mark Foley jumping in the ring, and rumors are bouncing around about Katherine Harris, and there's some other guy who's name I can't remember... $:-)
It just occured to me that Jeb might decide not to wait until 2006, but strike while the iron is hot and take out the Gramster next year.
Graham is, above all things, strange. He has always been held in high regard in the Senate, but if he gets a reputation as a fool with a motormouth, Howard Dean won't get anywhere near him when time comes to pick a running mate.

They are truly insane.
And I don't recall us having 150,000 troops on the ground involved in a guerilla war at the time. Again, your parallels are falling woefully short and are poorly reasoned.

Spend a little less time sucking up the propaganda and do a bit of research. You might end up looking less ignorant.
It is the trademark of the fanatic to immediately leap to the attack instead of defending his original proposition. Notice that our friend, Jolly Time Popcorn, at once accuses his challenger of blindness and stupidity. It is always the unwashed masses who fail to understand the Truth that is possessed by the True Believer.
Enslaved to his blind certainty, our Jolly Friend reveals himself to be not only a prat, but an ambitiously ignorant one at that. The following quote is one of the richest veins to be mined in the vast caverns of Jolly Rogers' poor excuse for a mind.
The Iraqis are not free. In every substantial way they are less free now than they were prior to the war.
Now, he makes this statement during a time in which there are no less than 65 private, free news papers operating in metropolitan Baghdad alone. He makes this statement at a time in which the Fedayeen Saddam and the Mukhabarat are not killing Iraqi civilians in their thousands. He makes this statement at a time in which water has been restored to the the Marsh Arabs, Shi'a farmers who were cruelly oppressed by the old regime. He makes this statement at a time in which Iraqi families not only keep and bear arms, but in addition, are free to come and go and travel as they please. Finally, he makes this statement at a time in which the income tax is almost nonexistant among ordinary Iraqis, thus allowing the individual Iraqi to save what he can and do what he must to make his way in the world.
Yet, the Jolly One would have us believe the hegemonic mendacity that Iraqis are less free today than they were when Saddam was in power?
The very fact that mass graves have been unearthed expose Jolly Rogers to be little more than a clever, but Continental, liar- deserving of little more than contempt, and slight regard.
Of course, having dealt with Jolly Rogers' kind in the past, I suspect that his is only here because his subscription to The Spotlight has lapsed.

I suppose living under a totalitarian regime who systematically murdered rival racial groups, political opponents, and random citizens constitutes more freedom? I guess we all have different definitions, mine is closer to what our Fathers had in mind, yours seems to be closer to that of Fidel Castro. We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

Don't forget that Graham has been measured for the VP slot on the ticket in the past (most recently by the Gore campaign), and been found wanting. So maybe there's actually one thing the Dems have been ahead of the curve on. Hard to believe, but weird things do happen from time to time.
Actually I believe it is, cabinent level that is. CIA isn't part of any other agency and the head of the CIA is more than just the head of the agency, he's also the head of the "intelligence community", which includes other agencies, and portions of the military as well.
However the Constitutional provision speaks to "civil officers" not which goes way beyond cabinet level, to every civil servant, career or "political" appointee. In fact the notion of the "cabinet", like the notion of political parties, is outside the provisions of the Constitution.
This is a real howler, considering that your "arguments" look like they were lifted verbatim from the New York Times.
In comparison to the depths of hell they are experiencing at our hands -- yes.
