Rove is a scumbag and will always try and weasel out of testimony that will throw himself and his precious President into a bad light. He doesn't realize that the majority of Americans (and the world) already view President Bush, his wars and his policies and wrong at the least and pure evil at the most.

What do you think a subpoena is for? Hello? In the United States for the most part, though it seems to be changing, people are innocent until proven guilty. First you investigate, then if there appear to be grounds to continue you prosecute and then based on evidence or lack thereof a position is presented to a judge and or jury by the prosecuting attorney and the attorney for the defense. Finally judging the arguments presented guilt or innocence is determined and then if guilty a sentence is determined.

Proof or partisan pukery? Show us the proof of the above statement or pardon us if we fart in your general direction and - once again - ignore your maniacal ranting.

Well, while you're all huffy and indignant there, Bushfan, why don't you "state flat out" to us who "they" are and how exactly "they" are traitors. Here's your chance. We can't wait.

As soon as you pay America back for prosecuting the illegal blow job, then we'll consider paying America back for prosecuting the treason of the Bush administration with the outing of CIA agents and the use of the Presidency to prosecute governors and to remove U.S. attorneys.

Deal?

The trouble is, Jovial, that some folks lack any historical perspective on "witch hunts". In fact, some cannot even remember back to the 1990's when the GOP was going completely bonkers on investigating the Clinton administration. They wasted almost $100 million in taxpayers money on highly partisan probes. Even the voyeuristic Kenneth Starr advocated the repeal of the law after he had become the most prominent abuser of it.

Sounds fair enough to me, Jovial One! Wasn't the cost of prosecution for that CONSENSUAL, HETEROSEXUAL act somewhere in the vicinity of $70 million bucks? (Hint: It sure was!)

Of course. It runs in the family with Bush.



The senior Bush pardoned all the players in the treasonous Iran/Contra Affair on Christmas Eve.

What gifts those pardons were.

Plus it had the added bonus of insulating Bush from accusations of treason.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

He wants the same privilege his master Bush had with the 9/11 commission - the ability to answer questions off camera, with Dick Cheney at his side, and not under oath.

That way, you can't get caught in any lies...

...as president, Clinton was more interested in boinking a 24 year old than going after a terrorist organization like al qaeda, and bin laden. Great leadership on his part, but it became an international incident, being that it is against the law for Americans to possess or trade Cuban cigars.

A pathetic witch hunt by the loony left that will go nowhere like everything else they try to throw at Bush. You nut cases must be so beaten down from failure after failure.

Does this look like Clinton ignored terrorism to you?:

Measures taken by the Clinton administration to thwart international terrorism and bin Laden's network were historic, unprecedented and, sadly, not followed up on. Consider the steps offered by Clinton's 1996 omnibus anti-terror legislation, the pricetag for which stood at $1.097 billion. The following is a partial list of the initiatives offered by the Clinton anti-terrorism bill:

Screen Checked Baggage: $91.1 million

Screen Carry-On Baggage: $37.8 million

Passenger Profiling: $10 million

Screener Training: $5.3 million

Screen Passengers (portals) and Document Scanners: $1 million

Deploying Existing Technology to Inspect International Air Cargo: $31.4
million

Provide Additional Air/Counterterrorism Security: $26.6 million

Explosives Detection Training: $1.8 million

Augment FAA Security Research: $20 million

Customs Service: Explosives and Radiation Detection Equipment at Ports: $2.2 million

Anti-Terrorism Assistance to Foreign Governments: $2 million

Capacity to Collect and Assemble Explosives Data: $2.1 million

Improve Domestic Intelligence: $38.9 million

Critical Incident Response Teams for Post-Blast Deployment: $7.2 million

Additional Security for Federal Facilities: $6.7 million

Firefighter/Emergency Services Financial Assistance: $2.7 million

Public Building and Museum Security: $7.3 million

Improve Technology to Prevent Nuclear Smuggling: $8 million

Critical Incident Response Facility: $2 million

Counter-Terrorism Fund: $35 million

Explosives Intelligence and Support Systems: $14.2 million

Office of Emergency Preparedness: $5.8 million

The Clinton administration poured more than a billion dollars into counterterrorism activities across the entire spectrum of the intelligence community, into the protection of critical infrastructure, into massive federal stockpiling of antidotes and vaccines to prepare for a possible bioterror attack, into a reorganization of the intelligence community itself. Within the National Security Council, "threat meetings" were held three times a week to assess looming conspiracies. His National Security Advisor, Sandy Berger, prepared a voluminous dossier on al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, actively tracking them across the planet. Clinton raised the issue of terrorism in virtually every important speech he gave in the last three years of his tenure.

Without Bush dropping the ball by concentrating on his ruinous tax cut, SS privatization and Star Wars defense spending instead of terrorism, maybe things would have been different.

I mean it's not like someone dropped intelligence on his desk entitled, "Bin Laden Determined to Strike IN US!"

Oh yes, that did happen.

With a post like that you should be very careful about calling other people "nut cases".

The Congress has a duty of oversight over federal agencies, including the Justice Department. The question of whether US attorneys were pressured to initiate partisan prosecutions is not a "pathetic witch hunt" but a serious inquiry into the loss of independence by the Justice Department under the Bush administration.
