Rice Responds to Subpoena

The other day, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee issued a subpoena for Condoleezza Rice to testify on issues of the war in Iraq. Rice said this morning, however, that she was "not inclined" to honor the subpoena.

I'm sorry...but it was my understanding that you really didn't have a choice when a subpoena was issued. Am I completely wrong in this. I think I will consult my good buddy Webster on this:

sub-poe-na - A writ commanding a person designated in it to appear in court under a penalty for failure.
Hmmm...seems pretty straight forward to me. I'm no lawyer however and maybe ignoring a subpoena issued by a House committee holds no penalty. But still, can this administration show us any more contempt for our democratic way? Can they possibly prove to us any more that they haven't a shred of respect for this country's systems of checks and balances?

But don't worry...Rice said she was happy to answer any questions via a written letter. Thank God for that.

34,000 Iraqis killed in 2006

That's great. Way to make a country more "stable." I bet Saddam couldn't even boast numbers like that when he was in power. I bet the Iraqi people are incredibly thankful for being "liberated" by such a tyrant.

You're absolutely right Mr. Bush...they sure as hell do owe us a bunch of gratitude.

Brink of war?

This headline from Reuters caught my eye this morning:

Bush sending more troops to Iraq on brink of war
Brink of war? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Is that not what's been going on in Iraq for the last 3 years?

BTW

And by the way, Mr. Bush ... "accepting responsibility" for you mistakes in the Iraq fiasco does not justify the deployment of 20,000+ more American troops into your illegal, imperialistic war.

So we'll just add this to your tally of mistakes. How's that sound?

Is this Bush's way out of Iraq?

The Grand Emperor said something I found rather interesting in his speech tonight. As he explained why it was necessary to send and additional 20,000+ U.S. troops to Iraq, he made this comment:

I've made it clear to the Prime Minister and Iraq's other leaders that America's commitment is not open-ended. If the Iraqi government does not follow through on its promises, it will lose the support of the American people -- and it will lose the support of the Iraqi people.
So is this his true new strategy? Put all of the weight of the disaster that has become Iraq on shoulders of the Iraqi "government?" What I heard in this comment was "you see...if this 'new' plan doesn't work, we can pull out of Iraq and say, 'hey, we warned you! You let this happen so it's on you. We're gone.'"
