  • Ackekrman: If Iraq is attacked, are you stating uncategorically, that the administration will take no action until an appropriate course of action is decided in consultation with the Congress?

    Satterfield: Mr. Chairman, the administration will act as any administration would act, in defense of U.S. interests.

    Ackerman: That wasn't my question.

  • interesting choice of words. the administration doesnt say defend America, but rather its interests. hmm which interests is taht exactly? What a joke. this should be on every newscast..lead story..but oh no not in the land of American idol and celebrity watch. I cant believe this guy is here side stepping the most basic of questions.

  • Ackerman He is our modern day Winton Churchill.

  • Ackerman is a true American Hero. Way to go after these sick people Ackerman!

  • worms have difficulty answering questions. well done ackerman.

  • Sir The Administration Isn't Even Going To Recognize Congress Enough To Refer Directly To It or Acknowledge It's Existance.

    Mr. Chairman we are going to treat you like Iran treats Israel.

    Notice they never say Congress on the other side. They might talk about our interests, answer with broad covering rhetoric like "constitutional requirements" while not defining these requirements.

    lol finally after 6 minutes he said congress.once. Go harder

  • No competent citizen in this country would ever be allowed to dance around questions in ANY court or formal hearing the way this administration has repeatedly done. They should find them in contempt.
