Question: why isn't the secretary of state being grilled with 'the general'

[spanone]

a general doesn't MAKE policy...they implement it.

condi's ass should be on the line

1. Condi doesn't make policy, either

She makes messes, and excuses.

[spanone]

2. she helps make the policy..

4. Technically, but...

...since she holds the post and gets paid the salary, she can at least be held accountable.

[ColbertWatcher]

3. She's too busy "working out"...

...the GOP-controlled media is too busy getting the public used to the idea of her as:
* human
* competent
* vice-presidential material

5. I was thinking when --

Powell ducked out in time.

I think it was Menendez -- was talking about being lied into a war, that it wasn't Patraeus's or Crocker's doing.

They ARE for this admin now, but shouldn't be held responsible for the initial invasion.

ULTIMATELY, it's Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld who I'd like to see swinging from a rope (I'm sorry, but that's how much I hate them.)

6. Don't forget that asshole Feith.

I didn't realize what a prick he is until I saw the interview on 60 MINUTES.

[gateley]

7. I didn't see it, and wasn't familiar with him,

but from what I've gleaned off of some of the DU posts I've read, hell yeah, loop one up for him, too!
