Why do we keep needing independent investigations? We PAY our representative to do their job, but they keep saying they need some one else to do it. It frustrates me. Why can't THEY do it? I know it's politics, but it's still wrong.

IT KINDA WORKS LIKE THIS:

The President has a whole range of "spooks"...intel guys, lots of them

They snoop and poop and tell the Pres. what's happenin', ya see?

The Pres tells congress (the folks who hold all kinda hearngs and testimonies and appoint hese spooks the President has at his beck and call)

Congress listens to the poop and tells the Pres to go ahead with his plans (cuz the spoks were all evaluated by congess to start with)

So the President says, "I wanna invade and have me a war thingy, cuz my spooks tell me it's legit to press on".

Congress hears that and says, "Well, them spooks must be right...we evaluated them before appointing them...yeah, Prez....go for it!"

Later, when no evidence or reasonable ratinale for the "war" is found, we need an investigation (by outside sources, of course) because the Prez insists he only did what the spooks told him was up and up; the congess says the Prez shouldn't have been so quick on the draw, and nobody wants to take any blame for anything...so...."a thorough investigation, by an outside agency" (apointed by the same Prez who apointed the sppoks???) has to be!

Great system, eh????????????
