They haven't even been sworn in yet and ALREADY the investigations are starting.

Saw a similar article at the hideous
Nation called
The Waiting Game
In the new Congress there will be much Iraq-related activity, but the Democrats will present no master plan to remove America from the debacle. They will mount a flurry of hearings, scrutinize the war budget and introduce differing bills. Senators Carl Levin, Joseph Biden and Jay Rockefeller--incoming chairs, respectively, of the Armed Services, Foreign Relations and Intelligence committees--plan an array of hearings. Levin aims to examine the military strategy in Iraq. He might continue his quest to dig up information on the Pentagon cell, created by former Under Secretary Douglas Feith, that funneled misleading intelligence to the White House before the war. Biden, who has proposed turning Iraq into a federation of three autonomous regions, intends to examine alternate policies. Rockefeller is looking to complete the long-delayed Phase II inquiry of the Administration's use (or abuse) of prewar intelligence.
On the House side, Jack Murtha, who will take over the defense appropriations subcommittee, wants to probe misuse of reconstruction spending. Henry Waxman, next chair of the Government Reform Committee, will zero in on fraud, waste and abuse in military contracting. Tom Lantos, incoming chair of the International Relations Committee, also wants to probe the reconstruction failure. And Ike Skelton, in line to head Armed Services, has vowed to examine the strain the war has put on the military and the adequacy of assistance to the troops.

This is where Gonzales does his job and gets a few (Nelson, Richardson, Kerry) under the Logan Act.

The moonbats have a gavel now. They are likely to try and impeach the President. This is going to be ugly, funny, but ugly.

Who cares.. this is expected... Let them jump up and down... scream to the highest mountain top.. As an equal branch of government Bush does not have to be under-oath or answer any of their subpoenas. He can basically tell them to fawk off. Unless there is some special independent person appointed (i.e Star with Clinton). That does not mean that they cant try and hurt the underlings however. In the end they will look like a bunch of babies that are trying to pull a Vietnam Part II and no one wants that.

Can't start at the top, so they start from the bottom.

I think this is the real reason Donald Rumsfeld quit (and the President agreed). He would have been called/subpoenaed over to the Hill constantly. He would have had no time for SecDef work.

Oh! I saw the word "investigate" and thought they meant William Jefferson, John Murtha, Allan Mollohan and Harry Reid.

Maybe they can get Bin Laden to make a guest appearance to bolster their claims against GWB.

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.Nancy 'Bela' Pelosi and her fiends of the night may want to take aim at those nice folks over beheading and bombing innocents; worse case scenario, they'll have plenty of blood to gorge on. Just bring the sunblock Nancy-girl; That desert sun doesn't agree with your type from what I hear.

"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." I don't believe congress has the power to withdraw troops: that's for the Executive Branch but, "series of hearings and investigations" must be the new order of the millennium. In the meantime, no actual work will get done. Public benefit: nil.
Here comes the new congress, just like the old congress.
