[Treasonous] Incoming Chairmen Ready to Investigate
The Washington Post ^ | 12-16-06 | Charles Babington

Incoming Democratic committee chairmen say they will hold a series of hearings and investigations early next year to build the case for their call for a phased withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and for possible action against defense contractors found to have wasted billions in federal funds.

The emerging plans to grill administration officials on the conduct of the war are part of a pledge for more aggressive congressional oversight on issues such as prewar intelligence, prisoner treatment at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay, and the government's use of warrantless wiretaps.

Thats OK. Their ridiculous little panels and "investigations" will keep them busy and out of trouble.

Hiya, Panther! I took a dip in the Lefty blogoswamp and the mooonbats were jumping for joy. Murtha was quoted as saying that there'd be two hearings a day. It's going to a tough couple of years 'till 08. Hope we still have a country left by then.

Most Democrat investigations devolve into a sort of Plame-Wilson charade so it should be quite easy for us to target some of the weaker characters on their side and destroy their stories.

We already know about the Chairmen of the committees and they're a regular clownshow, but in the end they are not terribly important. The public at large also knows them and just dismisses their importance ~ that is, the public tolerates them and will continue to tolerate them.

The lower ranked members, who are less well known, are just as clownish. That should make them just the sort of folks we can help to join the ranks of Dan Rather and his little friends.

It's possible we can drive off enough Dem Congress-critters to change the balance of power in the House.

This is really prime considering the incoming chairman of the intelligence committee didn't know the difference between Shi'ite and Sunni's as regards Al Qaeda.

These people are NUTS!!!

That the party of Bill Clinton even thinks about investigating someone like the Honorable George W. Bush, is one of life's GREAT farces!

Honestly, I can hardly stand it! It so incenses me!!

"prewar intelligence," I could answer that with one word TENANT, a Clintoon appointee. The real question is why Bush kept him? The DIMS pulled all the spies in from the field, stripped the military etc. I HOPE the GOP grows some big ones (they haven't had them except for a brief period after 911).

And nowhere do we ever hear of any DemocRATs speaking of doing what is needed to succeed, to win, or be victorious.

I guess those words only enter their vocabulary if they pertain to fooling the public into electing them, not to our brave troops fighting a war.

Maybe they plan to insert Her Thighness and Miss America into the front lines so the insurgents will run away in revulsion!
