Senator Pat "cover-up" Roberts; a danger to us all.

This SOB has been stonewalling everything from 9/11 to Iraq misinformation. Now he says he is still working on the Iraq intellingence, phase 2, which is suposed to be about how intelligence was used by Bush and Cheney to hurl us all into the 5th hell realm known as Iraq.

It will take several more months, he says. (Yeah, right! It should have been completed last year, but Roberts thought he would get away with letting it slide after the 2004 election.)

Therefore, he really just doesn't have the time to do oversight on Iran Intelligence.

People of Kansas, please, for God's sake, get rid of this idiot before he helps kill us all!

"Iranian Nukes? Hey, What's the Rush?

The main lesson that the Senate Intelligence Committee drew from the run-up to the Iraq war was that Washington needs intense scrutiny of intelligence on weapons of mass destruction. So with all the buzz about nukes in Iran, it would be safe to assume that the committee is deep into an inquiry, right? Well, not quite. Kansas Republican Sen. Pat Roberts, the committee chair, warns that 'we have not made the progress on our oversight of Iran intelligence, which is critical.' The panel has done only piecemeal scrutiny of the spy agencies' work on Iran. 'There is no organized committee staff effort to look at Iran right now,' says majority staff director Bill Duhnke. 'It's all sort of on hold.' Roberts blames it on Democrats who are 'more focused on intelligence failures of the past.' Committee staffers who would conduct the Iran inquiry are instead tied up with the long-awaited second phase of the panel's review of prewar intelligence on Iraq (which covers how the Bush administration used the intelligence). Democrats say Roberts is stalling on Phase 2. 'If the committee has not conducted a review of Iran intelligence, it's not because of a lack of resources,' says Wendy Morigi, spokeswoman for Sen. Jay Rockefeller, the committee's ranking Democrat. Roberts says he is pushing hard to complete the Iraq inquiry, which could take several more months. Then, the committee can focus more on Iran. Perhaps Tehran will be kind enough to wait for them."
