Wait a minute....Bush gets to pick the investigators?

[Webster Green]

The CNN whores just said * will pick a panel to investigate Iraq intelligence. WTF? Doesn't sound too "independent" to me.

[jean]

1. msn online had a headline saying

"Bush orders intelligence probe" and I foolishly thought he was going to have a brain scan.

[Skittles]

15. WHORES

it should read MOUNTING PUBLIC PRESSURE FORCES BUSH TO CAVE IN AND ORDER INTELLIGENCE PROBE.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

2. yup another bush* "blue ribbon panel" just like the 911 "blue ribbon panel

[Jacobin]

3. Ya didn't think he would pick a REAL panel, now didja?

C'mon, get with the program. Chimpy can do no wrong. He was misled by librul CIA officers and they are gonna git to the bottom of this problem so his Majesty the Monkey doesn't get any more bad tips!!

See how easy it'll be?

[nostamj]

4. he'll give it to Kissenger

:nuke:

[Faygo Kid]

5. He'll pick Richard Perle, Dennis Miller, Sandy Rios - Scalia to chair

Yep, it will be a real bipartisan effort all right, boy howdy.

[Hippo_Tron]

6. Hrmmm so that includes

Karl Rove, Dick Chenney, Condi Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Whoreowitz. Oh yeah he'll throw in Zell Miller for good bipartisan measure.

I'm sure that we'll get to the bottom of this thing right away.
:eyes:

[YouMustBeKiddingMe]

7. Then this will be a whitewash

And over with quickly so as not to interfere with the november elections. What a crock of shit.

[Bridget Burke]

8. No, it will not be over until AFTER the elections....

Another thread pointed out that the committee will have a year and a half to do their job.

Longer than the committee on 9/11 was allowed (although they've requested an extension past May).

[Dimsdale]

12. Chimpy wants his own Hutton inquiry.

Nary a word critical of Number 10. Bad BBC.

Won't it just be perfect for Our Leader to have himself "formally cleared" of "sexing up" intelligence related to the bogus Iraq invasion. He lied to be able to set the PNAC agenda in motion. Now he needs to lay the blame elsewhere.

[UTUSN]

9. Again? n/t

[maggrwaggr]

10. I don't see the Dumbocratic party screaming for one

so why not?

Bush gets away with whatever the idiots in Washington let him get away with.

[K-W]

11. And what exactly would you like the minority party

to do? Exercise the power they dont have?

The people in power get to set the agenda, it has nothing to do with the democrats.

[Lostmessage]

13. That's the same as a murderer picking the jury for his trial

:shrug:

[Edge]

14. Well that's fair...

someone else should pick that panel.

I hate that son of a bitch we have for prez. :grr:
