The White House is hoping that U.S. Rep. John Conyers will just go away...

WAR, RIGHTS AND SECURITY: Answers needed on Downing Street memo.

The country deserves better answers than Bush has provided to date about his justification for the Iraq war, and Conyers is at least trying to get them.

1. Wouldn't it be something if Colin Powell came forward?

Maybe he could erase all that bad karma he's built up by coming clean on what he knows about Bush's hardon to get the war on.

2. It will never happen. He's a made member of the BFEE.

Besides, if he did turn on the bushies, the RW wingnuts have a ready made talking point to discredit him: he knowingly lied to the UN!

[donco6]

4. Aw, don't crush my hopes so thoroughly.

Not that they were really hopes - just whispers of shadows of vague possibilities.

Never mind.

[BlueIris]

7. Nice lingo. Powell as a "made" guy. Love it...sort of.

I mean, he is Colin Powell (sob!). But I've seen "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," so...yeah. He may not totally be "one of them" at heart, but it's his actions that got him that ganster label. For keeps.

11. Excuse me for my ignorance

but what does BFEE stand for?

14. "Bush Family Evil Empire", I believe (n/t)

3. It WAS a lust for war.

[meppie-meppie not]

9. not a chance in hell

10. We cant even get a quote from Dean or Hillary- now you want POWELL??

???

16. Hey C'mon!

I can dream, can't I? The colors are pretty in my world . . .

:)

[Dr Fate]

20. I'll dream with you then.

5. And we wish that they

would just go away!

JC is not going anywhere and I think they know that. I am loving this.

[Independent_Liberal]

6. We won't go away!

Nope! We aren't going away until we get answers!

[Dr Fate]

8. And they are counting on DEMs like Kerry & Dean to remain silent.

19. DEAN & KERRY SEEM TO BE UNUSUALLY QUIET ON DSM

ESPECIALLY DEAN!

[applegrove]

12. Seems they cannot attack him directly so they use scapegoats such

as Durban and Michael Shiavo to fill the role and give an outlet to anger.

If they attacked Conyers...it would result in more stories.

13. Powell;"we broke it-we own it" then fix it and get the hell out!

[Idioteque]

15. He's been on the Republican hit list since Nixon...

...they still haven't gotten him yet.

According to Wikipedia, Conyers was #13 on Nixon's enemies list..

John Conyers, congressman, Detroit: Coming on fast. Emerging as a leading black anti-Nixon spokesman. Has known weakness for white females.

JC has had a distinguished career as a thorn in the Republican Party's side, and he doesn't show any signs of stopping. ^_^

[gratuitous]

17. That would be John Conyers, 104 congressmen and . . .

over half a million petition signers. That's quite a lot of people to wish into the cornfield, even for Stupidhead.

[Spectral]

18. Tell Conyers not to fly in any small aircraft, especially at election time
