Lies and the Condi Liar that Told Them

Today during the full Senate's discussion of the nomination of Condoleeza Rice to a position as Secretary of State, some Democrats finally developed the courage to question the Administration's policy and justification for the war in Iraq. It's about time. The Democrats need to stand united to challenge the promotion of one of this country's worst National Security Advisor. During her tenure as NSA, Condi lied to Congress and the American people about the reasons for going to war and continues to support her lies to this day. It was nice to see for a change Democrats following the lead of Barbara Boxer (D-CA) who opposed the certification of the Ohio electoral votes as well as delivering tough questions in the Foreign Relations Committee questioning of Condi (and, along with John Kerry (D-MA), the only votes against approving her as Secretary of State...for shame, Joe Biden). as Senator Dayton (D-MN) pointed out:
"Lying to Congress, lying to our committees and lying to the American people. It's wrong, it's immoral." The only way to stop it, Dayton said, is to keep the administration from promoting officials "who have been instrumental in deceiving Congress and the American people, and regrettably that includes Dr. Rice."
Democratic Senators need to stand aside of Kerry, Boxer and Dayton in opposing the promotion of Condi from NSA to Secretary of State, if not to change the outcome than to reassure their consituents (the Left, last time I heard) that they will stand by their principles when put to the test.
