Remember that abstrusely clandestine little Senate Sub-Committee Intelligence Investigation Thingy. Well? How did the specious proceedings turn out anyway? Any word? Anyone? Is a democratic apostasy inevitable? If you believe this guy, one, John Hall, not only "sweeping this under the rug" is not only inevitable but it's also politically advantageous. This guy, John Hall, is the Washington bureau chief of Media General News Service. Since everybody knows the media is controlled by liberals, one can assume he must be liberal as well.
While a congressional investigation into skewed Iraq intelligence is a rising summertime story, the Democrats may have more to lose than the Republicans with this issue.
The problem with this tactic is that, to prove it true, many Democrats who supported the war would have to admit that they, themselves, were misled.
Politicizing the Iraq intelligence inquiry on either end is not going to be a winning tactic for the Democrats. The DLC and moderates have been pleading with the party to keep their quarrels with Bush focused squarely on the domestic economy, not on foreign policy and military debates."
Stop right there! I've heard enough. Rather, I've heard all I can take.
I'd like to think that when rich is flat wrong about an issue, he'll be big enough to step up and say so. But that simply isn't the issue in this case. This case is not about being either right or wrong. This issue is about the truth or, rather, the lack of it. I have a hunch somewhere somehow someone is feeding one big fib and insultingly expecting neigh demanding that I obsequiously swallow it hook line and sinker.
I think it far too premature in the coming election to start throwing out the baby with the bath water - in this case eliminating a moral obligation in favor of jostling for future political position. Hell, aren't we supposed to be the good guys here?
My senators are Daniel Akaka and Daniel Inouye. I voted for both of them and so far I haven't had major problems with the jobs they're doing in Washington. (Both were acrimoniously opposed to the war from the beginning by the way). We need some bi-partisan oversight to these intelligence investigations hearings guys and we need them now. I fear nothing will be accomplished (one way or the other) without it.
