Henry Waxman and Patrick Fitzgerald are making today historic.

[speedoo]

Congressman Waxman's Committee is, as I write this post, conducting hearings on the waste of $19 billion (I think that's the number) on "Iraq Reconstruction".

The tape of Patrick Fitzgerald's questioning of Scooter Libby before the Grand Jury (which indicted Libby on five counts) is being played in court as the trial of Scooter Libby proceeds.

A historic day, as the sun begins to shine on the evil that is bushco.

7. i'm watching this Bremmer dude dance on what must be the last dime in Iraq...

no thanks to his managerial 'skills', it must have been like living in the wild, wild west and leaves me with the impression that all and i mean ALL bush wanted was to be perceived as a war president pushing little pegs around on a game board of risk and nothing more = no oversight, no accounting, no questions asked :thumbsdown:

10. War's cost is what led to Vietnam ending...will lead to Iraq withdrawal

and the sad thing is the R's know it but the M$M "lie machine" keeps covering up for them. Those stories and facts never make it to the talking heads on CNN or MSNBC (with the notable exception of Keith Olbermann).

I remember reading about Nyguen Cao Ky's 'flying whorehouse' and other assorted corruption during that war and saying to myself, 'THIS is what our country is fighting for ?' The same thing with Ahmed Chalabi's Iranian intell connections and the BFEE today.

What is is that we're so hell-bent to waste US taxpayer $ on ? Oil has alternatives...let's get cracking.

11. As mightily as Bushco tried they couldn't stop Democracy from finding the light again

Oversight and Congressional hearings are the only way to keep a power mad Executive Branch held in check - thank you Democrats for saving us from the Republican Revolution and almost certain doom.

You can't ride the high horse and then take the low road.

15. Too bad all the Freepers turn this stuff off. They're the ones who need enlightenment

(we already knew this) but they can't stand to see their buddies/flunkies squirm in the hotseat...so they remain in their ignorant bubble.
