Tenet also denied that the hijackers met with Iraqi agents in Prague, although there is good evidence that they did.

He is still working for clinton.

Byrd sees Iraq-Vietnam analogy

Sure, it is possible if it is done wrong. But, to repeat GHW Bush's words, this won't be any Vietnam.

CIA Director George Tenet told lawmakers Tuesday that Saddam Hussein might not use his weapons of mass destruction unless provoked by an imminent U.S.-led attack.

Maybe not but as president Bush said last night if he aquires a nuclear weapon he will hold the entire middle east hostage. He has already tried to take over the middle east by envading Iraq. What makes Byrd or Dashole think he won't try again?

Byrd, who has been criticizing the Iraq war resolution daily since the Senate began its debate on the measure last Thursday, told colleagues at a party luncheon that he planned to make full use of Senate rules to try to derail the legislation, participants said.
I hate West Virginia.

Tenet has to go NOW. You are either on the same page with the President or your are not, he is not even looking at the same book... DISCUSTING!

The war should start by nuking West Virginia, which is a total dirtbag state. Sen. Byrd sucks and so do the rodents that keep electing him.

they can delay voting until after the November election if they want to.The longer they mess around with Iraq the less time the dems have to hammer at the economy and how Bush wants to starve everybody.As as resident of WV I do hope you fellow Moutaineers vote for Wolfe to at least get one sane vote from our state in the Senate.Somebody stuck a fork in Byrd for I think his brain is fried.

What's he going to do? Read from the KKK handbook for a few days? Maybe he still has it memorized. That would help.

"Byrd, a former majority leader, is widely regarded for his knowledge and skilled use of Senate rules."

Not by me. He's an egotistic old bloviator and a fool.

Fine, this is good news. The President is ultimately going to win, and the closer to the election the better. Thanks, Senator Byrd.

SORE Loserman and his slimy compatriots can easily provide the necessary additional votes (60 required) to shut up the Klu Klux Klan Senator from West Virginia!

How about Joe, do you have any *alls?

As a former grand dragon klucker byrd's ideas haven't changed. He still doesn't want coloreds in the military and jews are the US's worse enemies.

He tolerates innoway cause he doesn't want to belittle a cripple.

Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., a fierce opponent of the President Bush's Iraq war resolution, indicated he would use delaying tactics in an effort to block the measure. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., said that could easily put off a final vote until next week.

Bird brain is carrying the water for the duplicitous dims. They want to delay the vote until after the November elections. Let's see how it goes.

Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., a Democratic sponsor of the resolution, complained about the tactics. "If Sen. Byrd continues to use all the procedural rules the Senate allows him, there's no way we are going to get anything until next week," Lieberman told reporters. "This is too important a matter to frustrate."

Well it seems Lieberman isn't willing to play the Dems political game ..

Omigosh! Byrd and the Dems might withhold their permission?

I'm sure Dubya is quaking in his boots.
