There are now four Republicans who are not buying the WH line: Richard Shelby, Chuck Hagel, John McCain and Arlen Specter. As long as Dems were the only ones creating a stink the scandal could be dismissed as partisan. That's no longer the case. Didn't McCain just say a few days ago the Niger situation was a "minor" issue? Not anymore. There's no more chance the WH can put this genie back in the bottle.
They have been trying to paint it as a partisan issue. I watched Rohrbacher from California on CNN and his bluster was so transparent. He actually asked, "So what the Democrats want to return Saddam to power?" :eyes: in between laughing, trivializing and being dismissive of the questions. Do they all go to the same debate coach? I know high schoolers who could do better than this.
McCain said that whoever is responsible should lose their job! I saw this in CNN Live with Sen. Hagel and he was asking/demanding answers to questions!!!
P.S. On edit: Hagel said this was NOT a Democrat/Republican issue - it was wayyyyy beyond that!!!
All four are political opportunists and are secretly hoping that Shrub & Co go down so they can get the '04 GOP nomination (and all four are far enough removed from the cabal that they'll be relatively untainted enough to do so).
