BEYOND THE PAIL

Democrats and Republicans, quit sitting on the proverbial fence, and choose honor before your politics.
Your Censure of George W. Bush would at least indicate to the voting public that some parts of Congress want to point out sins and machinations of the Bush administration.
We are now informed that the Long War President KNEW that those aluminum tubes COULD NOT be used for nuclear weapons.
Yet he STILL told the nation that THEY WERE.
His administration lied about Katrina.
His administration lied about Iraq.
It lied about domestic surveillance.
"This hearing, I think, is beyond the pale," said Senator John Cornyn, Republican of Texas.
Mr. Cornyn, the hearing may be beyond the pale...but what this administration did in Iraq (and in the name of national security) lies deep down, within a cesspool.
And the perverse and false messages came from this administration.
Senator Jeff Sessions, Republican of Alabama, added, "Let's don't play games with their (soldiers) lives."
Mr. Sessions, the lives of soldiers were played with when this administration put them in Iraq based upon false information.
