Rice: I will answer in writing

What a surprise, Secretary of State Rice is going to takeadvantage of executiveprivilege, and will answer any questions in writing, Rice said I have "answeredand answered and answered" referring to what she knew about thegovernments claim that Iraq was trying to buy uranium from Niger, which waslater proven to be false. The Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted and approved the subpoena 21 to 10.

The subpoena for Rice, approved by a congressional committee led byCalifornia Democrat Rep. Henry Waxman, was part of a flurry of action in thestepped-up congressional oversight of how the Bush administration operates.

Rice said she had answered questions about the matter in three letters overthe last month and cited a legal doctrine that can shield a president and hisaides from having to answer questions from Congress.

When are theconservative "hold-outs" going to stop complaining about theinvestigations, and realize that something is very wrong with thisadministration. Stop sticking up and making excuses for this crap.

Why should we stop defending Rice just to help the Democrats? Condi is a heroine of the Republican Party. She's our next VP candidate, for Christ's sake.

You numbskulls are stupid enough to go after her? Why should we help you out? Especially after she so obvioiusly set Waxman up?

Waxman is a bully who is running a show trial. Condi will string this out and eventually show up to kick Waxman's ass. It will be great.

No, Waxman is investigating this because there was more to the CIA leak than just Scooter Libby. We're talking about the Administration ruining a woman's distinguished career in public service.

lol I really hope you were being sarcastic. btw, when you said, "We should we help you out," who is "we?"

setion9, you are part of the "you". why would you want anyone to get away with a potential crime? your little club is dwindling down. you should be honest and come right out and say "we should have went to war just because (Fill in the blank)", but don't keep ducking behind every excuse the administration hands us and protect the liars along the way.
