Webb to Secretary Rice: Ahem
A couple weeks ago, Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) asked Secretary Condoleeza Rice if the administration thought President Bush had the power to take military action against Iran without permission from Congress.
She deferred an answer, saying, "I'm really loathe to get into questions of the president's authorities without a rather more clear understanding of what we are actually talking about. So let me answer you, in fact, in writing. I think that would be the best thing to do."
Well, it's been two weeks, and Sen. Webb is still waiting. So he's asked again, in a letter sent to Rice yesterday. To help speed a response, he even suggested the range of answers she might provide: "This is, basically, a 'yes' or 'no' question regarding an urgent matter affecting our nation’s foreign policy."
And to ensure that the administration got the message that Webb remained interested, he also asked the question of Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte during this morning's hearing.
The full text of the letter is below.
January 29, 2007
The Honorable Condoleezza Rice
Secretary of State
Department of State
2201 C Street, NW
Washington, DC 20520
Dear Secretary Rice:
During your appearance before a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on January 11, 2007, I asked you a question pertaining to the administration’s policy regarding possible military action against Iran. I asked, “Is it the position of this administration that it possesses the authority to take unilateral action against Iran, in the absence of a direct threat, without congressional approval?”
At that time you were loath to discuss questions of presidential authority, but you committed to provide a written answer. Since I have not yet received a reply, the purpose of this letter is to reiterate my interest in your response.
This is, basically, a “yes” or “no” question regarding an urgent matter affecting our nation’s foreign policy. Remarks made by members of this administration strongly suggest that the administration wrongly believes that the 2002 joint resolution authorizing use of force in Iraq can be applied in other instances, such as in the case of Iran. I, as well as the American people, would benefit by fully understanding the administration’s unequivocal response.
I would appreciate your expeditious reply and look forward to discussing this issue with you in the near future.
Sincerely,
James Webb
United States Senator

Little experience or not, I would vote for him today.
I have heard him speak and I know he has read and understands the Constitution and holds it in the highest regard as well as the values that made the United States a great nation.
Unlike some who, sworn to protect it, have only worked to destroy it and our Country.
As Cicero said of such traitors, "a murder is less to fear."

This administration would love to argue that we have to stay in Iraq to counter Iranian aggression there (Plan B after the surge no longer provides any political cover), and also argue that the Iraq AUMF would apply to conflict with Iran because Iran has intervened in Iraq.

Mind you, this is no comment on Jim Webb's abilities. Perhaps, though, we need him in the Senate more than we need him as President. I for one wish him all the support possible in his straight talk and demand for answers. He has a great knack for cutting through. Where is this ability best put to use? Why did he choose to run for the Senate?
We also must remember that strength and plain-spokeness are not policy positions. Policy positions on on-going war are not fiscal positions(at least purely).
I like what he is doing and where he is doing it. Let's cheer him on for this and hold the rush to White House.

I like the way Webb talks. I desperately want the Democrats to have a candidate I admire. I don't feel that way about anyone in the race now.

Yeah, because those decades of experience with Darth Cheney and Rummsy really paid off?
Webb is something we haven't seen in a long while, a politican who could give a 'rats-a**" what the pundit class and the media thinks of him.
No wonder he scares the living crap out of the Wingnut mouthpieces like Laura Ingram.
I have live long enough to know the difference between triangulating focus group driven pols (like Hillary) and democrats of a different generation, folks like JFK or Daniel Patrick Moynihan.
Webb reminds me of them, maybe he's a little too strong for today's politically correct "Democrat"
party...But, watch what happens if someone from the right pulls that "leave out the -IC" crap to Webb's face.
He won't have to ask his advisors HOW to respond, like Kerry or Hillary would.
He will probably bite their frickin heads off...
And, it would be the last time those insulting pricks tried it on him.....

gregor wrote on January 30, 2007 7:29 PM:Sorry for incorrect name in the first post above.
Jim Webb, even if he is a single issue candidate, and the manner in which he conducted his campaign suggests that he is not, has shown that he has an appealing straight-forward approach to issues that the other Democrats definitely lack.
Anyone who won because a macaca was on his side cannot by definition be just a one issue candidate. Add to this the breadth of the themes he covered in his response to SOTU: econonomy, the interests of the middle class, and of course the Iraq war.
His formulation that we expect our leaders to accuratley assess the threats against the sacrifices that they want us to make before they send our boys to war was eloquent, clear, direct, and moving.
He has my vote.
JIM WEBB for President.
Forget triangulating Hillary and soothing and pleasing to everyone Obama. We don't need any of that.

FMArouet wrote on January 30, 2007 8:21 PM:A THIRD CARRIER TASK FORCE HEADING TOWARD GULF?
Here is a snippet from navsource.org on the USS Ronald
Reagan and its task force. It sounds as though the Reagan
may be heading to the Gulf area to support the Stennis and
Eisenhower carrier task forces. Three carrier task forces mean a
lot of firepower. They would all be in place and ready
for action sometime in February.
The moon (new) and perhaps the weather should be ideal on
March 19 and on April 17. March would probably be better from the weather standpoint in new Centcom Commander Admiral Fallon's view. Fallon himself would no doubt want a couple of months to get up to speed before launching massive air and cruise missile strikes against Iran.
Here is the snippet:
"Coronado, California, January 4, 2006 — Two SH-60F
Seahawks assigned to the "Black Knights" of Helicopter
Anti-submarine Squadron Four (HS-4) provide security
alongside USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) while departing
her homeport at Naval Air Station North Island. This

nuclear powered aircraft carrier, in support of the
Global War on Terrorism and maritime security
operations. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 2nd
Class Christopher Brown (# 060104-N-5060B-163)."
We are left with two questions:
(1) From now on, can we believe anything that the Administration or the Pentagon claims about Iranian activity in Iraq and the Gulf? Or will it all be sheer propaganda serving as a drumbeat for war?
(2) Will the House and Senate display some spine in pressing the

Well y'all should be jealous of me because he's my senator! LOL
However, as much as I love the guy I'm not ready to consider him president/vp material. He just got elected to the Senate, for pete's sake. We'd like to have him stick around long enough to do some real good.
I attended a town meeting where he was one of the speakers (he was invited a few weeks before he delivered the SOTU response) and he was fantastic. He received several standing o's from the crowd.
Condi didn't realize when she punted Webb's question that she was way out of her league.
It's true: You don't mess around with Jim.

Hell, that's more than George W has read.
I greatly admire Jim Webb and the breath of fresh air he seems to be bringing to our country. Is anyone uncertain about where he stands? Or what his priorities are? He's a throwback to an earlier time and resembles TR - the last great Republican president...no matter what the "DittoHeads" say.

Fallon, 62, is the first Navy admiral to be named to head Central Command (Centcom), which oversees U.S. military forces in the Middle East, Central Asia and the Horn of Africa. Military officials say he was chosen because of his diplomatic and strategic skills at a time when the United States has dispatched two aircraft carrier strike groups to the Gulf for the first time since 2003.
"The reality is, if you look at the Centcom area of responsibility, there's a lot of water there," Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates told reporters Friday, when asked why he recommended Fallon. "And as you look at the range of options available to the United States, the use of naval and air power, potentially, it made sense to me for all those reasons for Admiral Fallon to have the job."

The Bush administration is going to order targeted strikes in the cover of night against Iran's 'nukular' facilities in retaliation for an alleged Iranian-backed attack on US soldiers in Iraq (without providing evidence of said attacks).
At the same time, Condi is going to have a hand-written note couriered to Senator Webb's office with a concise reply that simply says, "Yes".
The complicit media and DC punditry will bobble away parroting the administration's justification for the attacks.
What the Democrats do then will determine whether or not we live in a functioning democracy anymore.
Because right now this administration is acting like it could care less what their own people think.

Thanks for the link to the Public Affairs Officer's announcement that the Reagan and other ships are being deployed to the western Pacific.
I couldn't help but wonder, though, if the deployment is intended to place the ships conveniently within a manageable sailing distance from the Gulf, in case Bush/Cheney/Rice/Gates want to go into Iran with guns blazing by March 19th.
And if the Administration wants to push up such a schedule, there will also be a new moon on February 17th. The White House and Pentagon leakers seem to be spreading the anti-Iran propaganda and war-justifying rhetoric at a pace similar to their leadup to the invasion of Iraq. The MSM seem to be swallowing the leaks with their typical credulity and lack of serious follow-up and investigation. Tonight's report on MSNBC was practically hysterical.

Mr Webb has never been a soldier, he was an officer of Marines, and his son is a Marine ( an enlisted infantry man aka "a grunt"). Webb was a grunt officer.
A retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant once informed me the Marine was broken down into two components: grunts and support.

I love Jim Webb because he wears his integrity on his sleeve. You see a righteous man who speaks from the heart, shoots from the hip and looks you in the eye.
When that arrogant frat boy bullied him with the veiled threat 'how's your boy?' I wish Webb answered with 'he's in harm's way because of you...how's your girls? Get thrown out of any more Latin American countries for exessive partying?'
yehuda Cohn wrote on January 31, 2007 9:17 AM:"...a John Edwards - Jim Webb ticket, and let events determine which one winds up at the top..."
There no question in my mind, Webb is hands-down the better man -- in terms of:
1. Background and resume. Webb is very accoplished with a distinquished career, vs. Edwards who was a PI trial/settlement lawyer and a senator.)
2. Apparnent integrety: Both are presumably "peace canidates." Yet while Webb is standing up the administration on the issue of, among other things Iran, Edwards is in Isreal promising to attack Iran with the words "All options are on the table, I repeat: all options."
3. Electability: When everyone thought that Edwards would destoy Cheney in their debate, it turned out Edwards got spanked badly, something that attributed to the Dem loss. He lost the debate because he wouldn't take a stand and defend it. I doubt Webb would have lost that debate to Cheney.

DallasNE wrote on January 31, 2007 9:37 AM:I think Sen. Jim Webb may have already gotten his answer, just not in the form or from the source expected. Does not the following provide that answer, at least in part.
"The Pentagon is investigating whether a recent attack on a military compound in Karbala was carried out by Iranians or Iranian-trained operatives, two officials from separate U.S. government agencies said".
"Iranian-trained" is the key phrase. Following this logic, we would have started a pre-emptive war against the Soviet Union because of evidence that North Vietnam regulars were "Soviet-trained".
Somebody needs to put on their thinking caps before taking reckless steps into another ill-advised pre-emptive war. Perhaps a pre-emptive impeachment of Cheney and Bush would be a good starting point.

The BIG question is why the Dems are not promoting Wesley Clark as a Presidential candidate. That would leave the VP position WIDE open for Hillary, Obama, Webb, etc. Instead they want to force another "unelectable" onto the ticket. Anyone who fears another inept rich boy taking over the White House again should really learn more about Clark.

Two carrier groups in the Persian Gulf are a mighty tempting target for a retaliation strike by Iran when US forces strike Iran under the pretext of "in hot pursuit". Those Russian Sunburn missiles that Iran has rimmed around the shores of the Gulf have supersonic speed and carrier-killing capability, the successful use of which will open the door to a "nukular" response by the US.

But, all of us who are blogging away on the war in Iraq & coming to a theater near you - Iran. Don't forget it is always been about the oil & money the very few, new world order guys can take from the rest of us. Seems we, the people have forgotten that a government must fear its' people, talk is always cheap. How many of us would actually take up arms against this government? I recall that in the sixties & seventies a lot of people realized this grumbling was nothing more than mental masturbation & did take up arms. Was it right or politically correct, or socially acceptable? Naw, but that war did end sooner than later. Difference is that government was only focused on the Industrial military complex, this one is into it for Drug companies & those who really control illegal substances, those who wish to rape the environment, reducing the ability of American children to get an education to compete in the world marketplace, the control of thought, etc. India & China get better treatment than our citizenry.

The tree of liberty has only survived & flourished with the blood of patriots, not the Ben Franklins, Thomas Jeffersons, or Patrick Henrys, but the common man's, the real unknown soldiers, those who carried sticks against the guns of oppression. This game has been playing out for over 30 years here in America, they those in actual control play real long game; don't be caught up in immediate gratification, that's what they have always depended on. I liked Wm. Clinton, but really look at what he did to America, it was/is the prelude to this present crescendo, a distraction for the grand finale. We can change the course of human events, but vigilance by each citizen is all we have left. Are we yet ready to die for our faith in democracy? To let blood fill the streets, look around not just at your life but at America's.Are you comfortable with what you see? Satisfied at what we are?
The struggle of the many against the few, never ends, but good can win, we can win, America must win. If it doesn't it is because we have lost courage, we have lost faith in what we, the people can do. When the answer is a real yes, only then will this and any subsequent government actually fear the people and comply to our will. So what, I know that the DHS will read this, no thought police in this country.
If this upsets you then maybe your thinking again, maybe we will act again, maybe we will be America again.
Here, here Webb, beat the drum loud, now let's dance the dance.
Bob sounds like he is just craving a war with Iran. Good for you, Bob. Just doing your part to support the troops.
Oh, and Bob says Webb was unpopular among the military as Reagans' Navy Sec. Thanks for your perspective. You've really thrown water on Webb's wildfire. No one is excited about him anymore.
Bob, I'm confused. If he was so unpopular among the military, why are his novels required reading for Marine Corps officers' training?

Webb's question is loaded. The dumb showboater is making the Iranians out to be the Good Guys and Chimpy McBushhitler out to be the Bad Guy. I guess he wants to be Hillary's bit..., er, Vice President. Poor bastard. He'll have to put his testicles in a velvet bag and hand him over to her for eight years. That's just the way it is when you work for the Missus. But that's for him to find out.
Anyhoo, Condi's faced down Russians and Chicoms before, she's not going to let some showboating junior senator intimidate her. "Lissen here, little Black Girl, if you don't respect the Medals on My Chest, I'll Cite YOU for Contempt of Congress!"
What macaca. He could have gone to the Seventh Floor and got the answer, but he's dumb enough to think that Hillary's tender ego could actually stomach a loose cannon like Jimbo Webb on the undercard of the 2008. So Rice is going to embarrass his ass, the same way she did with the ambulance chaser who tried to show her up on the 9/11 commission, Ben Veniste.
She'll answer "No", and implicit in her answer will be the following remarks: the Democrats will be forced to take a stand on a use of force resolution against Iran. Which is the last thing the Democrats ever, ever, ever want to do.
Here you have an entire political party, enabling a gaggle of religious Nazis, whose declared aim is to physically liquidate the Jews of Israel. Democrats refuse to face up to this, because for them, the enemy is Bush. But you will be forced to face up to it because it is in the interests of two groups of people, Millenialist Iranian fascists and Republicans, to make you face up to it.
Believe me, it sucks to be you. You just don't know how much it sucks to be you right now. "Antiwar" never, ever wins in the long run with the American people.
Jim Webb just opened a huge trap door for your entire party to walk into, but he was too dumb, and too full of himself, to see it.

He is the right man in the right place, as we are talking about matters of life and death for our servicemen and our country. He may not have been the perfect SECNAV, but he resigned on principle. He means what he says, and has put his money where his mouth is.
It sure feels uncomfortable for some of these right-wingers to actually have someone question them for the first time in 6 years, but thank God for our political system.
