John Kerry Reportedly To Present "Downing Street Memo" To Congress

Washington,D.C. (AHN)- After remaining almost silent since losing the 2004 election by thirty four electoral votes, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts is reportedly planning to to present Congress with The Downing Street Memo, reported last month by the London Times.
The memo purports to include minutes from a July 2002 meeting with Tony Blair, in which Blair allegedly said that President Bush's administration "fixed" intelligence on Iraq in order to justify the Iraqi war.
The Downing Street Memo is a leaked Top Secret document that details the minutes of a 2002 meeting between top-level British and American government officials.
The memo states that George Bush "was determined" to attack Iraq long before going to Congress with the matter, and that "the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."
Rumblings across Washington and the Internet claim this is a step from Democrats towards impeachment of President Bush.
Fellow Democrat Rep. John Conyers of Michigan has issued a statement on the U.S. House of Representatives stating that he is seeking information regarding the meeting minutes.
"I am seeking information regarding the charges made in the so-called “Downing Street Minutes” that there was a secret agreement between the U.S. and the U..K to invade Iraq by the summer of 2002, well before the president sought congressional authority." Conyers said.
"Please provide us with any information or leads you might have regarding such a secret pre-war deal, or other efforts to manipulate intelligence or provoke a response to justify war. We will treat any information provided on this site as confidential. Thank you for your assistance in this important matter."
However, All Headline News has re-discovered that a bill signed by then President Clinton named "The Iraqi Liberation Act of 1998" gave President Bush all of the legal recourse necessary for the war.
Stating directly from the bill: "Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 - Declares that it should be the policy of the United States to seek to remove the Saddam Hussein regime from power in Iraq and to replace it with a democratic government. "
The H.R. 4655 law was signed into effect October 31,1998.
Republicans plan to issue a response to Senator Kerry by using his own words against him, a tactic used in the 2004 Election. Where Sen. Kerry was quoted as saying the war was justified and Saddam Hussein needed to be removed.

LOL!!
Gotcha! :)
which is attempting to develop nuclear and biological weapons,
Right on the Senate Floor!!!
Earnest, you got the wrong Kerrey (not John Kerry). Try again. :-)
I can't wait for the crazy yelling Kerry picture.
Definition of Clinton Triangulation:
Allow the RAT party/far left to develop hysterical theories until the entire country is laughing at them.
ENTER, STAGE LEFT: Hitlary Clintoon, queen on a broom, to "save" the RAT party from their insanity so that she can steer them to the so-called Middle. Hitlary becomes the she-devil leader of the free world and is hailed a hero.
Damn, sorry about that.
But John Kerry must have voted for it....course he could have later voted against it!
Just another pathetic attempt by Kerry to improve his reputation and not be considered just a pompous ass by being a petty . . . . well, pompous ass.
Mark Warner seems to be the contender within a certain segment of the party for now, but things will of course change over the next 3 years.
The important thing is that not all Dem candidates are loons, and the party will probably eventually pick a non-loon.
Most of em think 8 years out of the White House over 10 years out of the congres is enough.
My bet, and it's just a hunch, is that Dean is out after the Dems lose seats in 06.
ahh the wonders of photoshop :)
Yeah, right. He only whines about every time a mike is shoved in front of his face.
I couldn't bare to be without it i speak so much better in pics than i do in print !
I can see the Democrats trying to block ANY Bush Supreme Court pick on the grounds that he may be impeached and so shouldn't be allowed to choose judges until that issue is resolved.

man I know what you are saying there...
a picture says a thousand words, and can speak volumes on FR sometimes....
Yeah, I'm sure that Blair blabbed it to underlings, then proceeded to ally himself with W.
It all sounds like a cliched movie plot device.
So when this memo blows up like a trick cigar will it be Rove's fault? I smell another chess move by the Bush team. The seem to be letting the dems get a lot of rope on this one and not responding much.
Let the New Left liberal Rats call their "experts."
Require the testimony to be sworn.
Let it be known that perjury will be vigorously prosecuted -- fat chance but at least the American people can hear the lies, distortions, and spin.
Spin such as the President is not doing enough to correct the alleged public's misconception that Saddam had WMDs ready to launch at America, so therefore Bush is "lying."
Just watched the Star Wars Clone Wars movie last night, and saw Jar Jar Binks (...*shudder*...) as a dignitary, whose obvious incompetence reminded me of Al Gore. Name came to mind: Al Al Binks.
