ROFLOL!
IMO, the Dems will not mention the Iraqi documents unless prompted and the MSM will minimize them at every turn. They fear that these records will reveal the names of people, companies and governments complicit in Saddam's rein of terror. The Dems must and will do everything possible to put a stop to the systematic release of this information. They future as a political party depends on it.
I am reminded of 1992. The Savings and Loan scandal. Certainly, some Republican politicians and supporters were destined to be swept up in the very large net being cast by Federal investigators, but many more Democrats were in jeopardy (Harold Ford, Sr. and Bill Clinton to name a few). Much like today, Democrats and the MSM pulled out all the stops to discredit Bush, Sr and ensure all investigations of Democrats stopped. Of course and unfortunately there were Republicans who were willing assist the Democrats by staying home (whole loafers pissed off about the no new taxes and abortion).
Fourteen years later the Democrat Party and now the MSM stand on the brink of disaster. The Scooter Libby case isn't going according to script. If this one is allowed to play itself out it could result in criminal indictment of media players, while Libby walks. DOJ investigations of security leaks will implicate far more Democrats than Republicans, further reinforcing the general belief that Democrats cannot be trusted to protect and defend neither this country not the Constitution. And finally those pesky Iraqi documents...
Will the Republicans and like minded independent conservatives have the political will to finish the job this time? I have my doubts. It seems that we have come to this place several times the last thirty years or so. Each time the Republicans have turned their back on what was right for political expediency's sake. It seems that the stakes get higher with every failure. This Republic cannot afford for the Democrats and their media allies to triumph this time. If we lose this fight we may not get another chance.
