US Congress to hold Iraq hearings

Sen Biden may issue his own report on how the US should act in Iraq
A senior US senator has announced he intends to hold Congressional hearings on Iraq in January.

Joseph Biden, a Delaware Democrat, is expected to take over the chairmanship of the influential Senate Foreign Affairs Committee in the new Congress.

Senator Biden told Newsweek magazine he expected the hearings to last as long as six weeks.

He says he may issue his own report with conclusions and recommendations on how the US should proceed in Iraq.

1. Good.

Hope the networks are prepared for a lot of pre-empted shows this spring. Looking forward to a lot of congressional hearings broadcasted live this coming year.

3. You think

I don't think our current nooz media will show the hearings. I hope I'm wrong.

4. I think they will... things are a little different when you are the majority

6. I sure hope you're right

I watched all of Watergate live. This could be even better. There'll be a lot more than one set of hearings.

I'm looking forward to the Democrats controlling the cameras on CSPAN.

2. January

January is going to be one heckofa month. Nancy starting Congress early, Biden starting hearings. I'm going to need two tv's -- one each for CSPAN1 and CSPAN2.

9. Interesting .....

I kinda see this perspective if your referring to the Iran/Iraq security agreement reached yesterday, and the Iraqi President's snub to Bush today .... January is a long way off in this context isn't it? Time will tell. Peace.
