It's good to be a dem

You leave for a weekend with the family and I come back to the same old crap.

Senator Kerry (D - MA) sends letter to Senate Intelligence Committee pressing for answers on the Downing Street Memo and other Downing documents. I'm just glad this whole DSM story is finally getting some legs. Thanks to us bloggers.

Rumsfeld was all over the MSM this morning dodging the so called tough questions. Then he stated that insurgency could go on for any number of years. Insurgencies tend to go on five, six, eight, 10, 12 years. His best comment of the day was "If you look up 'last throes,' it can mean a violent last throe," Yeah for 12 years? No further comment here.

I found this good comment on Taegan Goddard's Political Wire:
"Anyone who tries to estimate the end, the time, the cost or the casualties in a war is making a big mistake."-- Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, on Meet the Press earlier today.

"It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months."-- Rumsfeld, quoted by USA Today, in March 2003.

Some conservatives want evangelicals to keep quiet on the fight for high court nominations. That's you, Tom Delay!

House ethics chair, Doc Hastings, accused of violations. Wake up people! These crooks have got to go. Delay, Inc. at it's finest moment.

Beware. Bush starts Lie Across America Tour this week trying to convince you the Iraq war is a good thing. I wonder how many Young Republicans joined the armed forces this week?

Also, an American General admits to a secret air war, nine months before invasion began.
If those raids exceeded the need to maintain security in the no-fly zones of southern and northern Iraq, they would leave President George W Bush and Tony Blair vulnerable to allegations that they had acted illegally.
