Iraq intel investigation still being manipulated.
Senate Cover-up Committee chairman Pat Roberts (R-KS) “wants to divide his panel’s inquiry into the Bush administration’s handling of Iraq-related intelligence into two parts, a move that would push off its most politically controversial elements to a later time.”

Can anybody say “Where’s phase II”? I know I can.
I am sure they will push it right past November, then find a way to blame Clinton.
April 25th, 2006 at 12:08 pmSenator Rockefeller
Phone: (202) 224-6472
Fax: (202) 224-7665
Ask him what’s up, and what the f*ck is he going to do about it.
April 25th, 2006 at 12:13 pmOops, I meant to say I got those off the DKos story. The email’s there too, but I missed it.
April 25th, 2006 at 12:14 pmkeep slicing up the investigationand soon there is nothing left
…we had Phase I, now we are in Phase II which will have part A & B, then part B will have 3 phases, which during phase 2 we will have 5 sub groups, so by the time the investigation goes in to the original Phase III it will 2025 and washington will be located 20 miles underground while we are all fighting for our lives in the midst of WWIII
April 25th, 2006 at 12:18 pmDid anybody really believe we would get an impartial, unbiased review of this administrations failures, lies, and manipulations from a congress full of the same party of failures, liars and manioulators?
April 25th, 2006 at 12:19 pmI am sick and f*cking tired of this crap. Roberts knows he’s covering up crimes and he knows we know it. It’s time to jam his phone lines and it’s time to prod all the Democrats on that committee to blast him publicly. This stonewalling has to stop. The public already knows the administration manipulated data, to put it nicely. They deserve a full investigation.
April 25th, 2006 at 12:20 pmthe democratic leadership is equally to blame; it is unfortunate to have to say that, but, it is true. senator reid pulled the ’secret senate’ session on november 1, 2005, and then NEVER followed up on it…
the democrats should be SHOUTING at the tops of their collective lungs to put an end to the cover-up, but, they have other things to think about…
roberts is an ass-clown and a lap-dog and therefore hopeless. writing and faxing to senator reid is an exercise in futility as well. there is no leadership, but for feingold and he isn’t saying much these days either.
peace.
April 25th, 2006 at 12:28 pm#7 You’re spot on. I am incensed by the absolute impotence of the Democratic “leadership.” What a bunch of submissive eunuchs! Their acquiesence is literally unfathomable. I’m starting to wonder if they have a collective pulse, let alone a conscience.
April 25th, 2006 at 12:34 pmThe democrats have become just like the republicans, only slightly less so.
Last person out, turn off the lights. It’s been a fun coupla centuries.
April 25th, 2006 at 12:37 pmCome on November!!!
April 25th, 2006 at 12:41 pmCome on folks, guess who’s going to be the next VP. What a no brainer, Pat Roberts. I will put a pound of home made beef jerky on this one.
April 25th, 2006 at 12:43 pmIt is time to vote independent. There is no point to voting Democrat, if the Democrats are only going to roll over every time a Republican so much as looks at them. They have become political puppy dogs, and it is now time for them to pay for that. Find an independent candidate whose stand on the various issues effecting America today is one you agree with, and vote. Vote the way the forefathers intended you to vote back when they came up with democracy, and cast an educated vote for the person you feel is the best bet for America.
Don’t repeat the mistake made in 2004 and vote for the lesser evil, vote for the greater good. It is the only way things will change in Congress and the senate.
April 25th, 2006 at 12:43 pmHow much is the real cost of this war?
Everything you have.
I cannot for the life of me understand how some ‘really smart people’ can think that by invading a foreign land; that they can make it all look real good and everybody will be happy because of it.
They are insane. Roses and cakewalks and all of that nonchalant jazz are what it’s all about.
Bush’s approval rating today is 32 percent.
I wonder if that has anything to do with the price of gas and the war in Iraq?
The price of a barrel of oil in 1998 was twelve dollars. Clinton was ‘President’ back then. Maybe if Monica Lewinsky would visit the White House instead of Jeff Gannon, it might be a better world.
April 25th, 2006 at 12:44 pm^^ Jules …no i dont think anyone with a brain would think it would be unbiased .. only the 32%
April 25th, 2006 at 12:45 pm#8 counsiousness, no – that is left at the door- you don’t even make it to the primaries carrying ethics, a counscious, or any type of morality beyond lip service…as for the collective pulse – it is the same as the republicans, they are all the same, the upper class, the ruling minority…democrat/republican…they are both completely corrupt and corporate shills just as donkey/elephant are both mammels, we need a new party, one of the people, maybe a bird, or a cockroach to symbolize surviving the upcoming nuclear fallout…for get being pessamistic, I was pessamistic in 2000 when this fool stole the office, and since then all of my worse fears have come true (except the draft, which is around the corner) USA could of survived 4 years of Bush, but 8 will kill us – if we make it that far
April 25th, 2006 at 12:48 pmAnybody ready to march? There’s the combo march (anti-war/Darfur) in NYC on Saturday. I think Wayne and I are going, hopefully some of you? It would be cool to finally meet the faces that match the posts!
Go to the moveon.org website for details.
April 25th, 2006 at 12:49 pmJane I would love to go but I live in Texas. If I had more time to arrange afforable travel I would be there. I have got to look to see if there is anything here in Dallas. One could hope!
April 25th, 2006 at 12:57 pmI just called his office and Sen. Roberts is not up for re-election for another 2 more years. So my money is on the loyal soldier who gaurds the cookie jar & knows how the cookies are made. Pat Roberts for VP. Makes way too much sense.
April 25th, 2006 at 12:59 pmThe more they try to bury it, the more certain it makes everyone that it’s true; Bush lied his ass off to get us into a war with Iraq. There’s nothing the Congress can do to obfiscate that now. It is, as they say, a generally accepted FACT! The Republicans make even bigger fools of themselves trying to hide what is already known.
April 25th, 2006 at 1:05 pmQuestion: Does the power to declassify material that the President authorized for the VP transfer to Cheney’s replacement? If, of course, he steps down?
April 25th, 2006 at 1:10 pmSolitare, you can’t project logic on an unlogical situation. You have to think, Survival, this is all they have left. I would expect them to be MORE brazen, arrogant and obfuscatory, remember the boogey men are still out there.
April 25th, 2006 at 1:14 pm#20
in my opinion, even if the executive order now says ‘dick cheney’ it would be amended by bush to replace ‘dick cheney’ with ‘pat roberts’, so, ‘yes’, if bush wanted to, the power would go to whomever filled the spot…
April 25th, 2006 at 1:17 pm#12, bruce gorton – “It is time to vote independent.”
sorry – but we really can’t afford that now … just like we couldn’t afford nader before …
i understande your frustration but not the logic …
the only way to change this slide into complete ruin is to overwhelm the ballots with democratic votes – the complete massive turnout will overturn any attempt to corrupt the votes … hopefully… gotta try it anyway…
April 25th, 2006 at 1:28 pmI’m going with Katy on this one. I am as pissed off as the next progressive that we can harly find a democrat with backbone enough to stand up to these assholes in the repug party. My hope is that perhaps when they are in the majority the democrats will finally start standing up to the republicans. I do not believe we can stand another 2 years of one-party rule and there is no way we are going to get a wave of independents in congress. At least not in 2006.
April 25th, 2006 at 1:36 pmi’m just about sick of this Pat Roberts guy obstructing oversight of the President. just what barnyard animals was he caught violating on videotape, i don’t think this guy trusts himself to fart without asking the WH for permission.
April 25th, 2006 at 2:29 pmTime for Harry to pull another Rule 21 gambit. Preferably before the nightly news tapes.
April 25th, 2006 at 2:31 pmI seem to recall Senator Roberts, his cheek still stinging from the ‘bitch-slap backhand’ Senator Reid had given him, saying that Reid’s “stunt” was not needed, because they HAD been working on the second part of the report, and would be done in about 2 weeks, so Reid’s action was way out of line. That was 5 months ago. Maybe someone should remind him that he said they were almost done, so was he lying when he said it? And, what’s the problem? President got your tongue?!?
April 25th, 2006 at 7:36 pm#27, right on CB.
April 25th, 2006 at 9:47 pmJules and Katy are right — we are all frustrated with the Dems, but voting independent will only aid the Republicans as they are going to exercise every dirty trick up their sleeve to steal this election. They’re pretty good at it by now; got all the kinks out. We must get out the Democratic vote.
April 25th, 2006 at 9:50 pmAfter the Dems get in THEN we can pressure them to do as we want, but they have to get into office first. Independent voting won’t work.
This continuing delay of investigation is *breathtakingly* anti-American.
