The Republicans are live on T.V. accusing the Democrats of
playing
dirty politics for closing the Senate to discuss being lied to in
order to get their votes to go into Iraq. It looks like Government is
closing down.
There is no Constitutional edict that requires America to spread
Democracy to other nations, quite the contrary. Past Presidents have
kept us out of coming to rescue of nations who sought Democracy as was
the case of the Hungarians who rebelled against Habsburg rule.
This is key, as after failing to find WMD in Iraq, rather then suffer
total humiliation and Republican losses at the polls, including Bush
losing to Kerry, the Republicans created another lie, saying bringing
Democracy to Iraq was the goal all along, and the only way to defeat
terrorism everywhere. These lies locked the Democrats and half the
nations who vote for Democrats, out of the political process. This
was, and is the stated design of the Christian-right, to eliminate the
two party system, downsize Government, and establish ecclesistastical
rule. This plan needs the Military on their side, thus their plan is
to involve our nation in a two hundred year Crusade.

Senate Democrats Force Closed Session on Intelligence (Update1)
Nov. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Democrats forced a closed session of the U.S. Senate today to call for an investigation into the Bush administration's use of intelligence about Iraq, a maneuver Republicans dismissed as a political ``stunt.''
Democratic Minority Leader Harry Reid invoked a rule that requires a closed session on the Senate floor in which the galleries are cleared of visitors. Democrats threatened to use the tactic daily until Republicans convene hearings into the administration's use of intelligence surrounding the war in which more than 2,000 U.S. soldiers have died.
``Be prepared to face this motion every day until you face this reality,'' said Senator Richard Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist called the move ``an affront to the leadership of this grand institution.'' Typically, such sessions over intelligence matters occur only after the leaders in both parties agree, he said.
``The U.S. Senate has been hijacked by the Democratic leaders,'' he said. Reid and Durbin orchestrated a ``pure stunt,'' Frist said.
Reid said the indictment Friday of I. Lewis Libby, vice President Richard Cheney's chief of staff, requires a full investigation that he said was promised by Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts a year and a half ago.
Libby
``The Libby indictment provides a window into what this is really about: how the administration manufactured and manipulated intelligence in order to sell the war in Iraq and attempted to destroy those who dared to challenge its actions,'' Reid said.
Libby was indicted Friday and accused of lying to a grand jury and to FBI agents investigating who revealed the name of Central Intelligence Agency operative Valerie Plame to reporters in July 2003 after her husband publicly criticized the Iraq war.
Under Senate rules, the special session can be brought to an end by a majority vote. Republicans control the Senate with 55 of 100 votes, and Frist indicated that eventually Republicans will try to vote to end the session and return to debate over a budget-related bill.
