You do know, don't you, that the Saddam trial judge prevented America's
deposed former ally from revealing details of his Reagan-era dealings with
Rumsfeld...? As a result, Saddam will probably take those highly
incriminating facts with him to the grave.
I'm wondering if Saddam's *lawyer* can be persuaded to 'go public' with
whatever info he has been able to get. To have Saddam and Rummy take each
other out for keeps would be a small but positive step for the world...

It's hilarious what the rethugs are reduced to. Here's a quote from
Bill Frist:
"Washington must now work together in a bipartisan way -- Republicans
and Democrats -- to outline the path to success in Iraq."
This has to be the first time one of these jerks has even uttered the
word "bipartisan" in 6 years.

Of course it is: they know they've lost in Iraq, so their only hope now is
to try and smear the Democrats by 'giving them some involvement' in the
final stages of the debacle. Disastrous retreats from catastrophically
ill-considered adventures always have to be made as 'bipartisan' as

Any new cabinet member has to be confirmed by the Senate. That is one
of the legislative branch's checks on the power of the executive branch
as per Article II, Section 2, Paragraph 2 of the Constitution.
Now that it is very possible that the Republicans will no longer hold a
clear majority in the Senate, I suspect confirmation hearings will be
far less of a Soviet-style rubber-stamp affair as they have been for
the past six years.

If you remember correctly, Miers was pulled before the confirmation
vote (only the seventh one in history to do so) because the
Christian-supremacists that Bush relies on refused to support her
because they didn't think she'd be theocratic enough. They wanted one
of their own on the Court instead so Bush replaced Miers with Alito,
who the Christian right had more confidence about voting the way the
Party told him to vote.

True but generally the Senate doesn't fight the President over his
cabinet. Usually the President can have who he wants.

The Senate has to approve the choice but when it comes to the President's
cabinet, they usually give the President a pretty free hand and the Senate
vote is usually a formality.

Amazing how fast things can change, isn't it?
Bush's 'guarantees' and 'promises' aren't worth the electrons to display

It'll take longer than that for the new Congress to be sworn in, hold
hearings and start impeachment proceedings.

No, I expect Chaney to pull a Rummy and high-tail it out of there. Got to
stay ahead of the lynch mob, you know.
(Personally I think Rummy leaving was his decision, not Bush's. I could
easily be wrong, but I think sooner or later it will come out that Rummy made
the decision.)
