What an eff-ing farce!
Senate committee approves Gates nomination
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/12/05/gates.confirmation/index.html
"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Senate Armed Services Committee unanimously approved President Bush's defense secretary nomination Tuesday and sent it to the full Senate for approval, the committee's outgoing chairman said."
"Sen. John Warner, R-Virginia, announced the committee's 24-0 decision after a closed session. The full Senate could vote Wednesday, but senators may not have an opportunity to vote until Thursday, depending on how many lawmakers want floor time to speak on the nomination, a Senate aide said."
This guy's nomination to be Director of the CIA was denied once and barely approved the second time. What makes him a UNANIMOUS approval for SECRETARY OF DEFENSE this time?? There's more evidence now than before showing that he fixed and manipulated intelligence during the Iran-Contra affair.
A one-day nomination hearing?
No witnesses?
NO discussion of his past AT ALL!
Secretary of Defense?? He has zero qualifications! He admittingly has no plan on what to do in Iraq. He gets his information (so he says) from the news. His being a part of the Iraq Study Group a coincidence? HA!! HE IS A TOOL. A tool for the neocons to move on to their next phase in Iraq.
