The Dark Side Of The Obama White House
Thursday, July 26, 2012
Senator Bob Graham, who didn't vote to give Bush the AUMF was one of a handful who availed himself of the opportunity, and went to the room to read it. We can't find out precisely who did read it because the sign-in sheet is classified. Isn't that amazing? Finding out whether our elected representatives did their homework, did their jobs, is classified. The NIE itself has been declassified, but finding out who read it, that we can't know.
After Graham read it, he told Hillary that she'd better get herself to the room & read it. When the existence of the NIE originally became known (during Plamegate) and the little room on the Hill, certain members of Congress were asked if they'd read it before their vote to AUMF. Hillary said she hadn't. She said she knew enough about Iraq and didn't have to read the NIE. She also said that she never discussed her vote or the situation with her husband.
It's important to realize that as a former president, Bill Clinton got the same P(resident's)D(aily)B(reif) that George WBush got. He knew Bush was Iying us into a war in Iraq, but he backed Bush up; he still does to this day. Is anybody seriously going to say that Hillary and Bill didn't know the truth, that Bush & Cheney were about to spend us into servitude, push us into third world nation status, all the while the Clintons were making HUNDREDS of millions from hedge funds?
But back to your exonerating Democrats for their part in the US's demise. There are remedies for maintaining the balance of power in our government, to keep the 3 branches co-equal, to prevent the executive lying (or going to war on lies, etc.), but Democrats have refused to use them. Everything from hearings and investigations, censure to impeachment -- The founders provided the tools to make this democratic republic accountable to the People.
But Democrats refuse to use them.
