The Bush Investigations
By David Swanson and Jonathan Schwarz

The last time Congress was controlled by the party in opposition to the White House, we all learned more than we cared to know about the uses of cigars. This time the need for investigations is much more serious. The Democrats are talking fast and furious about doing them, but they're not talking about doing the right ones -- and a month into their tenure, they've barely discovered where the bathrooms are.

As humorist Bob Harris enjoys saying about the Bush administration, "It's like a new Watergate every day with these people." Congress could probably spend three decades profitably examining the last six years of the Bush administration. Unfortunately, they'll have to do severe triage to select the areas of malfeasance where investigations will most benefit the country.

   The question is, what do they investigate first and how deep do the committees delve into the Bush administration. do they take things seriously enough to issue subpoena the Bush clan if there is no co-operation?

    The Democrats are hesitant with the subpoena power and they should not be, as the Bush Crime Family needs to be held accountable for their actions and criminal activities.

   Grow some balls, Democrats!

Or, maybe the correct question is: When will they choose to attack? April? March? February?

Many intelligent observers, some with inside information, have reported that the Bush administration and a certain group of their supporters have been planning to attack Iran for some time.             MORE
