What?

*We went to war in Iraq on an estimate????? I watched the George Tenet interview on 60 Minutes last night and Tenet said that they went to war because they estimated that Sadam Hussein had WMDs. An estimate? An estimate to go to war? Don't you use an estimate when you guess how many jelly beans are in a jar? These were people's lives they were determining and they guessed that Sadam had WMDs. When it didn't pan out, did they say 'ooops' or 'sorry'? How about all the families that lost loved ones over their 'estimate'?

*Bush's latest comment about a timetable to withdraw troops from Iraq was, "Don't test my will."
Excuse me, but when did he become king?
"Don't test my will." Will he start cutting off the heads of Democratic leaders? Bush is the President of the United States not Emperor of the United States! As any school child will tell you, there are three equal branches of the federal government-- the Legislative, the Judicial, and the Executive.

*Secretary of State Condi Rice said she may decline a subpoena to appear before the U.S. Senate. How do you decline a subpoena???? Is she immune from testifying?
MSNBC:
"...Meanwhile, Rice said she will not appear in person before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to answer questions about the Bush administration’s prewar intelligence. Rice said she already has addressed claims that Iraq had sought uranium from the African nation of Niger.

The committee voted 21-10 last week to issue a subpoena to compel her testimony.

Asked about the possibility of being held in contempt by the committee chairman, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., Rice said, “That’s the chairman’s prerogative. I respect the oversight — the oversight responsibilities of Congress — but I frankly think this one has been looked at and looked at and looked at.”

Yes, it has been looked at but you have yet to tell us anything resembling the truth!!!!!!!
