More Freeptard madness...(Democrats are set to subpoena)

WASHINGTON — Rep. Ike Skelton knows what he will do in one of his first acts as chairman of the Armed Services Committee in the Democratic-led House: resurrect the subcommittee on oversight and investigations.

The panel was disbanded by the Republicans after they won control of Congress in 1994. Now, Skelton (D-Mo.) intends to use it as a forum to probe Pentagon spending and the Bush administration's conduct of the Iraq war.

It has been 12 years since Democrats were in control of both the House and Senate. But they are looking to make up for lost time, and in some cases, make the Bush administration and its business allies sweat.

With control of every committee in Congress starting in January, the new majority will inherit broad powers to subpoena and investigate. And that is expected to translate into wide-ranging and contentious hearings.

The agenda is likely to be dominated by the Iraq war, but could include probes into the Bush administration's warrantless surveillance, environmental policies and new prescription-drug program for seniors. Industries, such as oil companies, could also come under closer scrutiny.

3. Freeper comments roundup.

Freeper #1 obviously understand the true nature of the Republican Congress and can predict that the Democratic Congress will again start investigating dealings within the Pentagon. Understand that they are "screwn".

Freeper #2 is delusional. How exactly is investigating something that clearly needs oversight and lacked it for 12 years going to blow up in their faces ??? Moran.

Freeper #3 understands like freeper #1, but feels it is necessary to fight and stymie the investigation. He clearly understands the "screwn" part but wants to limit it from being "seriesly hughly".

4. Oh I sure hope so.

The reason the persecution of Bill Clinton was a problem was that it was patently obvious that they were simply attempting to destroy him.

I also don't think there was a "blow up" attributable to that persecution. Some upset, certainly, but not to that degree. The manipulators had not yet acquired the skill and even greater nastiness they picked up a little later.

6. it's called oversight morans, remember oversight? you people loved

the subpoena when The Clenis was in office but this time it will be used for good instead of advancing you're own personal political agenda. The voters want answers, deal with it.
