John Kerry Reportedly To Present "Downing Street Memo" To Congress

Washington,D.C. (AHN)- After remaining almost silent since losing the 2004 election by thirty four electoral votes, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts is reportedly planning to to present Congress with The Downing Street Memo, reported last month by the London Times.
The memo purports to include minutes from a July 2002 meeting with Tony Blair, in which Blair allegedly said that President Bush's administration "fixed" intelligence on Iraq in order to justify the Iraqi war.
The Downing Street Memo is a leaked Top Secret document that details the minutes of a 2002 meeting between top-level British and American government officials.
The memo states that George Bush "was determined" to attack Iraq long before going to Congress with the matter, and that "the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."
Rumblings across Washington and the Internet claim this is a step from Democrats towards impeachment of President Bush.
Fellow Democrat Rep. John Conyers of Michigan has issued a statement on the U.S. House of Representatives stating that he is seeking information regarding the meeting minutes.
"I am seeking information regarding the charges made in the so-called “Downing Street Minutes” that there was a secret agreement between the U.S. and the U..K to invade Iraq by the summer of 2002, well before the president sought congressional authority." Conyers said.
"Please provide us with any information or leads you might have regarding such a secret pre-war deal, or other efforts to manipulate intelligence or provoke a response to justify war. We will treat any information provided on this site as confidential. Thank you for your assistance in this important matter."
However, All Headline News has re-discovered that a bill signed by then President Clinton named "The Iraqi Liberation Act of 1998" gave President Bush all of the legal recourse necessary for the war.
Stating directly from the bill: "Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 - Declares that it should be the policy of the United States to seek to remove the Saddam Hussein regime from power in Iraq and to replace it with a democratic government. "
The H.R. 4655 law was signed into effect October 31,1998.
Republicans plan to issue a response to Senator Kerry by using his own words against him, a tactic used in the 2004 Election. Where Sen. Kerry was quoted as saying the war was justified and Saddam Hussein needed to be removed.

How did Madame Hillary trick M. Kerry into doing this?
I can't figure whether this is a stroke of genius or idiocy. In my warped political mind, I could manage to turn this into a Machiavellian moment.
BUT...with the hamfisted, Deaniac lunacy pervading the democrats, this should turn out to be the most entertaining fiasco yet.
hanoi Kerry is at it again....
PING
The first sentence of this article is a total lie.
The new schtick. Impeach Bush over Koran kicking or some other nutter "charge." Laughable.
Pray for W and Our Troops
So I guess Kerry is going to get really fat, grow a beard and start yelling in a gravelly voice. When Hillary! loses in 2008, I'm sure she'll do the same -- it seems to be tradition.
This is the desperation of a dying political party!
It's a little disturbing too, because it's such warped behavior coming from alleged statesmen... that their constitutencies have been sold on them - or worse, select them willingly - is frightening. Kerry's been re-elected what, four times?
Kerry continues to demonstrate the treasonous irrelevance of the socialists. This reporobate had better be RIGHT about anything he puts forth, otherwise it will be an excellent opportunity for the Repubs to BURY the radical left. Hopefully, this will be Kerry's last gasp -- and he can go back to chasing rich skirts in beer bars.
Idiots on Parade.. On a MSM outlet near you daily
Kerry, Edwards, Biden, Conyers, Boxer, Teddy
It's gonna be a long hot summer.. ;-)
It's entertaining that the Dems have been taken over by lunatics, but I don't expect it to last into the 08 season. I bet they come to their senses and put up a real candidate, and that won't mean HRC.
now we know what the w. mark felt story was all about:
a prelude to a democrap impeachment attack on a republican presidency.
heheh glad I could make your tagline LOL!!
It seems, that when Democrats lose elections, they go completely nuts, losing whatever little mind they may have had before.
Kerry and Gore are perfect example of this.
I hope the Dems go for it. I really do.
