He and the C.I.A. put together an $18 million package to undertake it.

WAIT JUST A MINUTE!!! Since when does a Congressman undertake covert actions WITHOUT the president being involved (and consequently, his National Security Adviser and staff??)

This is "honor"?? This guy is trying absolve the Clinton administration of ALL RESPONSIBILITY for a CIA funded mission that CLINTON'S CIA director undertook..

Is Richard Clarke and Steven Simon trying to tell us that their administration was SO INCOMPETENT that they couldn't even control intelligence operations.. That they had to be run by congress?

Come on now... just how stupid do they expect Americans to be??

The administration draws up the budget and various congressmen work to obtain the funding within the congressional budget system. Gingrich might have liked the idea of overthrowing the Iranian government (only the Iranian Islamo-Fascists wouldn't like an idea like that), but no covert action on this order happens without the approval of the President.

This what I mean... It's JUST RIDICULOUS how the Democrats are trying to "white wash" their failures and blame them on Republicans.

Dealing with the Islamo-Fascist threat is a MUTUAL problem that BOTH PARTIES have to deal with..

This kind of BS is just what I'm talking about when it comes to liberals playing partisan politics with national security and foreign policy.
