GOP congress DEMANDS scrutiny of forged Niger papers that led to Iraq War
Edited on Wed Sep-15-04 03:03 PM by blm
Oops...my mistake. No Republican would demand an investigation into forged documents presented by Bush to lead this nation into a war where over a thousand soldiers died.

All they care about is whether they will keep control of where the tax dollars go.

5. Leaving aside partisanship, is anyone else concerned about CONSTITUTIONAL
ramifications of such an inquiry? So...there's a "question" about the sourcing of a single document used in a news story and Congress calls for hearings? What the fuck?! First Amendment anyone? These tyrants will stop at nothing in their quest for power and authority.

It's not about CBS, and the poster was just teasing us cruely, tempting us to imagine an honest GOP. And sadly, he took me in.

Where's my :hanging my head in shame: smiley?

You're right. It is sad.

that Delay's investigation be stepped up a notch...or that the Plame investigation be stepped up...or that Novak be investigated for his actions in the Plame case..or .or.or.or.

We don't pay attention to "focus groups".

But you knew that.
