I for one do not yet know if Mr. Kerik lied. How is it that everyone on this thread seems to know it?
I heard things that leave me open-minded to the facts, whatever they turn out to be. I heard she had phony but convincing documents of her status. I heard his wife hired her when he was in Iraq training the police force. If any of that is true, then I don't conclude that he lied, but that at a minimum he and his vetters failed to do a decent job in nailing down any possible problem.
If it is proven to me that he lied, I will accept it but not until. The man risked his life in Iraq trying to help America and the Iraqi people. He did not have to to that. For that alone, he should not be treated like pond scum, in my opinion.
what really scares me about this thing, a bigger issue then the Kerik pull out, is now blood is in the water. The administration is seen as having less of a stomach for a fight like this. Now, I honestly think we might lose Rumsfeld over this armored Humvee thing. and when it comes time for SCOTUS nominees, the Dems and the media will know that the slighest issue will disqualify any candidate.
