Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., still hasn’t confirmed that he is leaving the Senate Intelligence Committee, but he came pretty close this week. "I am perfectly willing and consider it a privilege to continue as (top Republican on the panel)," Roberts told the Hill newspaper. "On the other hand, if some other committee spot were to come open that would enable me to (work for Kansas interests)," a change would be foreseeable.
His spokeswoman toldAssociated Press that Roberts "has had discussions with the (GOP) leader and has not been told what his assignment will be." The final decisions on committee assignments are expected next week.

Good riddance. Now maybe we can get to the bottom of all the lies and misrepresentations about WMDs etc. that were used to justify Bush’s war.
Lieing and being wrong are two different things.Lieing is when you are testifing to a grand jury and you don’t tell the truth.Being wrong is when one supports a liar after it is proven that the liar is a liar.Liar
Oh, so Bush isn’t a liar because he is delusional.
As for your first part; lying to anyone other than a grand jury isn’t lying? And so, since I have never even testified before a grand jury I cannot ever have lied?
fleettwood – your ‘logic’ (sic) is definitely contortedDelusional
Why is Pat Roberts being so wishy-washy about his issue? Isn’t that what the Republicans accused John Kerry of being? Wishy-washy? Guess they were right, one cannot trust a person who will not say what they really mean.
hmmmm-I think you know what (and whom) I was talking about.Libs = still defending Clinton, but all that tickled about having to.
Cons = still defending Bush and his deliberate Iraq FUBAR
As for lying to the Grand Jury that has not been demonstrated. The judge had defined ’sex’ as intercourse; that did not occur.
However, when he looked at US and said “I did not have sex … ” in my opinion he was lying to us.
It just all depends on what “is” is.
good one SOB … just what is “IS” anyway?
Almost 3,000 Americans killed in Iraq, many thousands injured, huge $ and materiel costs, no feasible exit strategy, a civil war, huge civilian casualties, infrastructure in shambles, the entire M-E could be destabilzed, oil at $60+ a barrel, etc. — so of course, fleet and sob are fixated on a bj.
This could be fun too …

Judge Weighs Torture Claim Vs. RumsfeldWASHINGTON (AP) – A federal judge on Friday appeared reluctantto give Donald H. Rumsfeld immunity from torture allegations, yetsaid it would be unprecedented to let the departing defensesecretary face a civil trial.
Cosmos,
If you ever got a bj you’d be quite fixated on it too.
Here, let me give you one.
Twins? Triplets even?
GOP senator on Iraq …
“GOP senator says war may be ‘criminal’MATTHEW DALYAssociated PressWASHINGTON – Oregon Sen. Gordon Smith, a Republican who voted in favor of the Iraq war in 2002 and has supported it ever since, now says the current U.S. war effort is “absurd” and “may even be criminal.”
In an emotional speech on the Senate floor Thursday night, Smith called for changes in U.S. policy that could include rapid pullouts of U.S. troops from Iraq. He said he never would have voted for the conflict if he had known the intelligence that President Bush gave the American people was inaccurate.”

Give the lapdog a doggy treat on his way out.
Sen. Roberts better lawyer up.
When the can o’ worms finally gets opened that he kept the lid on, a lot of his constituents are not going to be thinking, “throw the bum out,” we’re going to be thinking, “lock the SOB up.”
I never could figure out why otherwise intelligent people, who worked all their lives to build a good reputation, would allow themselves to be used by a muddling moron.
Until Bush is forced to testify to anything under oath, his web of lies will continue.
Good riddance to Senator Roberts on the Senate Intelligence Committee. Although I’ll miss getting to argue with his staffers in the Wichita and DC offices over his deliberate obstructionism and dishonest arguments in favor of domestic surveillance.
Apparently, he is leaving, to be replaced by Kit Bond:
