They rushed Michael Smith off so he couldn't participate, as Woolsey and Kay continued to spin.
They keep forgetting the key point: the letter that Bonifaz produced from * saying that the "diplomacy" failed, the inspections failed and there was no alternative but to use military force.
That letter incriminates * in his lies.

In his book Worse Than Watergate (Little, Brown and Company-NY, 2004), John W. Dean writes that ?the evidence is overwhelming, certainly sufficient for a prima facie case, that George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney have engaged in deceit and deception over going to war in Iraq. This is an impeachable offense.? Id. at 155. Dean focuses, in particular, on a formal letter and report which the President submitted to the United States Congress within forty-eight hours after having launched the invasion of Iraq. In the letter, dated March 18, 2003, the President makes a formal determination, as required by the Joint Resolution on Iraq passed by the U.S. Congress in October 2002, that military action against Iraq was necessary to ?protect the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq...? Dean states that the report accompanying the letter ?is closer to a blatant fraud than to a fulfillment of the president?s constitutional responsibility to faithfully execute the law.? Worse Than Watergate at 148.
If the evidence revealed by the Downing Street Memo is true, then the President?s submission of his March 18, 2003 letter and report to the United States Congress would violate federal criminal law, including: the federal anti-conspiracy statute, 18 U.S.C. ? 371, which makes it a felony ?to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose...?; and The False Statements Accountability Act of 1996, 18 U.S.C. ? 1001, which makes it a felony to issue knowingly and willfully false statements to the United States Congress.
The United States House of Representatives has a constitutional duty to investigate fully and comprehensively the evidence revealed by the Downing Street Memo and other related evidence and to determine whether there are sufficient grounds to impeach George W. Bush, the President of the United States. A Resolution of Inquiry is the appropriate first step in launching this investigation.
