Now the Dems say they didn't have the same intel as the president (another lie).

You couldn't be more correct. Here is the next paragraph from the article excerpted above:

Democrats have responded to the administration's counter-attack by denying they saw the same intelligence as the administration before the war. They have accused the administration of trying to convince the U.S. public there was a link between Saddam and al Qaeda even though the intelligence community rejected that idea.

You can't say GW didn't give the Dems a chance to back off.

No such weapons were found and the Bush administration has been hounded by Democratic critics over its use of prewar intelligence as public support for the war wanes amid rising U.S. casualties.

I wish people would quit using the "no such weapons were found" statement. Weapons, 53 of them including a sarin gas shell were found. The goal posts were then moved to "no stockpiles of WMDs were found or the WMDs that were found were pre 1991. Also the uranium, that we knew about and was under the control of the IEA (until Saddam kicked them out) was also secured.

Is it too much to ask to put the story in context?

Calling for a fast typer to post the Q & A as fast as possible. A new firewall and an additional "update" has shut down Cspan audio and video access for me.

Thanks in advance.

:(

What was the deal with the Church Commission findings back in the 1970s? They looked into CIA assassination etc. activity and established the requirement for congressional oversight of intelligence activity, no? Didn't that establish the fact that the Senate and House were to have a separate-but-equal status with the Executive Branch in overseeing intelligence activity? If that's the case, then Congress can not now plead ignorance regarding Iraq intelligence. Anyone know how the Church Commission's work plays out here?

I'm not a fast typist but suffice it to say that Rummy is holding his own & name dropping RATS like crazy - it's a beautiful thing
