"This Hearing Could Change Our Country"

Clinton had as much negative coverage over a stained blue dress and landed himself an impeachment. I guess it's true. Americans will have to wake up to Bush slaughtering the family dog in their living room before they get the message the man is a freaking nut job AND he's running their country (into the ground):

Sen Reid says "This Hearing Could Change Our Country": "Yesterday the Democratic Policy Committee met and heard testimony from three extremely distinguished military officers (their names below link to their written statements:)

Major General John R.S. Batiste - U.S. Army (Retired) - retired November 1, 2005 after a 31-year career in the United States Army. His 'most recent assignment was as commanding general of the 1st Infantry Division from August 2002 to June 2005' in Kosovo and then in Iraq where 'the division was deployed to north-central Iraq from February 2004 until February 2005, and included 22,000 soldiers from active and reserve component units from throughout the United States.'

Major General Paul D. Eaton - U.S. Army (Retired) - served a 33-year career in the United States Army. 'His most recent operational assignment was Commanding General of the command charged with reestablishing Iraqi Security Forces.'

Colonel Thomas X. Hammes - U.S. Marine Corps (Retired) - retired after a 30-year career in the United States Marine Corps. 'He participated in stabilization operations in Somalia and Iraq as well as training insurgents in various places... His final tour in the Marine Corps was as Senior Military Fellow at the Institute for National Strategic Studies, National Defense University. He has lectured widely at U.S. and International Staff and War Colleges.'"

UPDATE 09-28-2006 And what do Dems get for their exposure of the dangerous truth to the public? Well of course, a THREAT from Republicans!

Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.) is threatening to punish Democrats for using an Appropriations Committee room for an unofficial hearing on Iraq oversight if it happens again.

“They better stop this,” the Mississippi Republican said. “This will be the last one or there will be retribution.”
