Condoleezza Rice Subpoenaed on Iraq

tags: , , ,

It's about Condoleezza Rice was subpoenaed regarding the Iraq war, since we are finally interested to get to the bottom of why America is caught up in this stupid war. Today, the House of Representatives' Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted 21-10 to subpoena Condoleezza Rice to appear before the panel next month. The Secretary of State is expected to testify about administration justifications for the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Meanwhile, crybaby Republicans accused Democrats of a "fishing expedition." But Democrats said they want Rice to explain what she knew about administration's warnings, later proven to be lies, that Iraq had sought uranium from Niger for nuclear arms. Don't Republicans also care about why America is in Iraq, don't they care to know if we were decieved by the White House, or does their ideology blind them to all the senseless death that is occurring there?

"The American public was misled about the threat posed by Iraq, and this committee is going to do its part to find out why," said committee Chairman Henry Waxman, a California Democrat.

Why fear testifying in front of the Congress if Condoleezza is proud of the work she does and the results it brings?
