WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A House committee Wednesday subpoenaed Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to find out what she knew about the 2003 claim that Iraq sought uranium from the African country of Niger.

The uranium claim, which President Bush made in his 2003 State of the Union address, was a key element in the administration's case for the invasion of Iraq.

Rice was President Bush's national security adviser at the time.

The Oversight and Government Reform Committee vote was 21-10.

Has she appeared? Not to my knowledge.

1. No she hasn't, and has there been any effort to encourage her to appear?

I believe once again the answer is no. Not enforcing a subpoena is tantamount to admitting it's not legally binding, guys...

[calimary]

2. Yes, indeed. Henry has to be ready, AND WILLING, to go to the mat on this.

There is no other choice.

3. And, gosh darn it, he'll reschedule it.....to sometime later.....when maybe it's more

convenient or something.....of course she has to start taking his calls first.......
