You know, the one that was supposed to take place “after the election.”

From “The Nation” (March 24, 2005)

Last July the Senate Intelligence Committee released a much-anticipated report on the prewar intelligence on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The study concluded that the intelligence community--led by the CIA--had "overstated" and "mischaracterized" the intelligence on Iraq's (nonexistent) WMDs.

….

But the committee's report did not cover a crucial area: how the Bush Administration used--or abused--the prewar intelligence to build support for the Iraq invasion. [Republican Senator Pat] Roberts claimed his committee was hot on that trail: "It is one of my top priorities," he said. The problem, he explained, was that there was not enough time before the November election to complete the assignment. Rockefeller took issue with that and complained that the "central issue of how intelligence was...exaggerated by Bush Administration officials" was being relegated into a "Phase II" investigation that would not begin until after the election. A Democratic committee staffer said that such an inquiry could easily be completed within months.

”Hot on that trail”

“top priority.”

This investiagtion never took place, and it's down the memory hole because the whore press would rather recite Republican talking points and enable war crimes than risk losing their cushy beltway-cool-kids jobs.

Benedict Rove’s jiz drips from their chins.
