If your boss interviewed you about some screw-up on somebody else's watch, would you consider that sworn testimony?
The State Department has now confirmed that Bolton did in fact answer some questions during the department's internal investigation and stated. The written answers to the Senate Foreign Relations Committe are expected to be revised by Bolton, reflecting the facts around that investigation.
Oops, guess he just forgot about it.
Should we give him the benefit of the doubt and believe it was an honest mistake?
I would, except he hasn't demonstrated a to me that he has any track record for being honest.

Or, Bush has no intentions of taking these hyped up charges seriously, Biden (along with Wilson, for that matter) is absolutely wrong about "yellow cake", Rove had nothing to do with blowing anyone's cover, and the Plame's immediate supervisor should be immediately questioned as to why someone's well known husband was permited to gather take for which he lacked qualifications to recieve.
So where is your evidence to support your claim?
What hyped up charges?
Maybe you should get information from some other source besides FOX news.
Why don't you read the report from the 9/11 commission, much better source of information.
Joseph Wilson was 100% correct about the Niger yellow cake. His wife did not not send him, she did not have the authority to send her husband or anyone else to Niger . The people who did asked if she knew someone who would about a good candidate to go check the story, at the behest of the vice-presidents office. She suggested her husband since he was the last US ambassador to Iraq, (George H. Bush called him a great American hero for this service.) he worked for years in Africa, and had personal connections and good access to Nigerian officials. I think he was as qualified as anyone to check the story.
The document that was used to support this claim by "curve ball" the CIA name for Ahmed Chalabi was proven to be a forgery. The forged signature was that of an official who wasn't even in the government at the time it was signed.
I think Fitzgerald (R), the prosecuter in the Plame case would disagree with you about Rove. The testimony of Matt Cooper and Robert Novak is also contrary to your assertion he had nothing to do with it.

Yeah, one of the few Blacks your side couldn't tear down.
?
What in the world are you talking about?
I thought we were all Americans and on the same side?
So much for Mr. Bush being a "uniter, not a divider."

The left also entertained this quixotic belief that Powell was one of theirs; they have since long before the 2000 election and they still can't shake it.
Again, please cite some supporting evidence for your outrageous claim.
Rev Prez said:
Let's see, Powell went before the UN and testified about weapons you will swear up and down were known to have never existed. He backed the President every inch up over a war that you will swear up and down was based on lies. So either you're buying into your own or somebody else's fiction or Powell is just as slimy as Bolton.
And his testimony was false and the administration knew it. Read the Downing street memo, "the facts and intelligence were being fixed around the policy"
He was the only member of the administration to object to the war, yet because he is a good soldier he did the dirty deeds and sacrificed his good reputation (and the lives of 1806 American soldiers as of 8/1/2005) so they could have their war.
Ever wonder why he didn't stay for the second term?
Ever wonder why Powell doesn't support John Bolton?
Rev Prez said:
We should first start with being honest with each other. You are anti-Republican...
I think you need to be honest with yourself, and stop denying the facts when they don't fit your narrow scope of reality.
Rev Prez said:
...as evidenced by your disgust with whatever Republicans are up to.
Go to cspan.org and watch Senator Voinavich's (R) speech in opposition to John Bolton. He was in tears because of the harm this man will do to the already badly damaged prestige of the US.
Do the world a favor, stop being afraid, educate yourself and learn to check the facts surrounding a story, especially if it is from partisan sources. And please, this is a physics forum, the people here are intelligent and educated, they don't want to listen to extremist rants.
