II. Lott’s Revanche
—
It may be that of the bad options available, pushing for Phase II is the least worst. But I can’t say I’m optimistic that anything good will come of it. If Fitzgerald isn’t going to jump down the rabbit hole, I’m guessing it will be many years — if ever — before we learn even a small fragment of what went on down there during the runup to the Iraq invasion.

I do think we know some 90% of what went on. The conspiracy was done on open fields. Starting with PNAC papers and openly implementing them as policy.
There has been a lot of reporting about the Niger documents, the false WMD claims etc. See Knight Ridders reporting in the run up to the war on Iraq.
The question is not so much how did they hide it, but how did so many people see what they wanted to see and not the quite open lies.
Mark Schmitt thinks that Reids grandstanding is the turn of the tide in the Senate and not only for the WMD lies.
Frist has lost all the power and there is no nuclear option left even if Scalito is filibustered. David S. Broder also thinks that the nuclear option is gone. Well, we’ll see…
Nice graphic of the cabal people and their relations – though I miss AIPAC and the Israeli generals inside the OSP
(click on the graphic for a bigger picture)
BTW: Reid said in his press conference “the war that costs us more than $2 billion a week”. That is double the numbers that were published so far. ?!
Right wing controll of the media is going to make impossible to force the administration to come clean on Iraq. My local paper (San Diego Union Tribune) had a huge headline about the assistant to President Chaney’s bird flue policy topped by a color picture of Shrub. They had a low key article about the Senate closure on page two. I wonder if Rove gets layout approval.

Dana Milbank on yesterdays “political theater”
Through the glass door to the chamber, Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) could be seen sitting in the presiding officer’s chair, looking puzzled. Reid could be seen sharing a laugh with two colleagues.
As lawmakers raced between the chamber and Frist’s office, reporters surrounded Frist chief of staff Eric Ueland. “It was a nonstop rant to build up to a political stunt!” Ueland said of Reid. As he leveled these charges, Ueland turned in a 360-degree circle so that all the journalists could hear him.
“You’re spinning!” one of the reporters observed.
