Democrats - Mugging for their Base

Or, How to accuse the Opposition of your crime.

Senate Democrats Yesterday invoked Rule #21 and dragged the senate into a secret session.  The Pretext was that the Senate Intelligence Committee was dragging its heels on completing an investigation into the faulty intelligence for the Iraq War.

The Problem is, it has been completed, except for some foot dragging by the democrats!

According to Pat Roberts, the Chairman:

"We started on Phase Two in February of last year," Roberts said. "On May 17th, it was complete."

But -

when the committee was to begin examining statements by members of the Bush administration and Congress to determine whether the allegedly flawed intelligence had influenced their decisions, Roberts said Democrats balked.

So indeed this was just a cheap stunt.  Accomplishing nothing, but making sensational headlines.  Which is the only things the democrats seem to be able to do.  Nothing constructive, just impede and delay, pontificate and obstruct.

They have become a laughing joke to all except their rabid base.

Not from my post - I never quoted Roberts, just posted a link. Must be referring to drmiler.

That was a very insightful comment MM...thanks for bringing your valuable take on the issues.

It may be true that some "dems" think with their asses at times. I might even do it myself every now and then. But I'd much rather that than talk from my ass, resulting in filth, aggression, trashiness, and hostility coming forth all the time.

Right there in Daiwa's post he put a quote from Roberts saying Phase 2 was completed on May 17th.

Then Drmiler posts a quote from Roberts saying ""However long it takes, working in good faith, we will look into Phase 2 and see what we can do and finish that product"

That's not a contradiction?

Taken out of context, yes it is.  However when you realize that the only part of phase 2 remaining was the interviews, and the democrats are the ones holding that up, then it is not a contradiction.  However, it is hypocrisy on the democrats part.  To cry about it not being finished when it is they who will not allow it to be.  That will get them 0 votes.

I am glad you decided to become more active.  WHile I doubt I will agree very often or on much, you are honest.  ANd I respect that.

Hey, what's wrong with a little dramatics if foot-dragging is eliminated? Surely, Bush took on the tnespian role in taking us to war.
