Condi caught in direct lie(s) - Congress caught in headlights - Funny, No reply

Why isn't this news....yet? 56 lies on her own

..."Integrity"...BULLSHIT!, "collective wisdom" BULLSHIT,

Wexler Confronts Condi on Iraq War Lies:


From Congressman Robert Wexler

Dear Mr. Floyd,

"Today, in hearings on Capitol Hill, I confronted Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on her role in the lies, exaggerations, and misdirection that led us into the Iraq war.

During my questioning, Secretary Rice falsely stated that she never saw intelligence casting doubt on the Bush Administration claims that Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction. This unbelievable statement is flatly contradicted by numerous government reports and CIA testimonials. (To watch the video of my exchange with Secretary Rice, click here.)

Secretary Rice's responses demonstrate once and for all that we need aggressive oversight over this out of control Administration. Unfortunately, the Bush Administration has ignored the constitutional right of Congress to provide such oversight.

It is time Congress took aggressive action to assert our rights on behalf of the American people.

The House of Representatives must immediately hold former White House Counsel Harriet Miers and White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten in contempt of Congress for their failure to respond to congressional subpoenas.

I have been aggressively lobbying Members of Congress to support a vote on contempt, and I am thrilled to report that Speaker Pelosi told me directly that she agrees it is well past time to vote on contempt. I am anticipating that the House will shortly vote on resolutions of both civil and criminal contempt for both Miers and Bolten.

No one should be immune from accountability and the rule of law.

Not Harriet Miers or Josh Bolten.

And especially not Condoleezza Rice, George W. Bush or Dick Cheney.

It is time to defend the Constitution and our rights as a co-equal branch of government.

I will continue to take on the Bush Administration for their outrageous abuses just as I confronted Condoleezza Rice today and Attorney General Mukasey last week. (Click here to see my questioning of Mukasey.)

With your help we will hold these top Bush officials in contempt and continue our efforts to hold impeachment hearings for Vice President Dick Cheney.

Thank you, as always, for your great support."

Yours truly,


Congressman Robert Wexler

Conyers Introduces Contempt Resolution, Call for Lawsuit against White House
By Paul Kiel - February 13, 2008, 3:23PM

As expected, things are finally moving forward in the House today to bring contempt resolutions against White House officials for ignoring Congressional subpoenas as part of the U.S. attorney firings investigation.

House Judiciary Committee Chair John Conyers (D-MI) introduced two resolutions this afternoon related to the subpoenas. The first is a criminal contempt resolution against White House chief of staff Josh Bolten and former White House counsel Harriet Miers -- both were subpoenaed and did not respond, citing the White House's invocation of executive privilege. But Conyers also filed a resolution that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) file a civil suit against the White House.

Now one big question is what does Wexler do with the knowledge that E-Man's dream babe Condi perjured herself in front of congress? Will he do what the law requires and bring her up on charges, or does the IOKIYAR rule apply somehow?

Good to see. The military branch needs the most oversight, not the least.

I don't think they're going to do anything till after the election. They're too afraid the American people will get angry if they start a bunch of turmoil. After the Dems win the White House, then THEY BETTER GET OFF THEIR ASSES AND PROSECUTE THESE CRIMINALS.

I'm not aware of any Dems who have ignored Congressional subpoenas or perjured themselves in front of Congress lately....
