Iraq and DeBug

There are numerous reports of fierce fighting and many(more) dead in Iraq. At least 5 marines and 'dozens' of Iraqis are reported killed in fighting in Husaybah, near the Syrian border.

While they die, Tom DeLay(R-Retard) is accusing the 9-11 Commission of 'parisan mudslinging.' There is precedent to call DeLay a genuine expert in mudslinging. Although I think he prefers bovine excrement.

Here's a bit:

In a letter to commission chairman Thomas Kean on Friday, DeLay said he was troubled by what he believed was "gotcha-style questioning" during the panel's recent hearings with national security adviser Condoleezza Rice and top officials from the FBI and CIA.

"The camera-driven tone of the hearings undermines the commission's credibility, distracts the American people from the gravity of the war on terror, and could send dangerous messages to unfriendly eyes and ears around the world," DeLay wrote.

Kean, a former New Jersey governor and a Republican, denied the 10-member panel was politically motivated and said it was committed to a full accounting of the events leading up to Sept. 11. Some of the commissioners' disagreements with witnesses during the hearings were a natural result of open debate, he said.

"Sometimes the public exchanges are pointed, but no more so than in the Congress itself," Kean responded in a letter to DeLay. "Our answer to our critics can only be the quality of our report."

DeLay is a knuckle-dragging case in hypocrisy. DeLay has to be amongst the blindly partisan invertebrate on the national political scene.

"Dangerous messages to unfriendly eyes and ears around the world?"

Please.

Tom, it's called democracy.

Asshole
