WASHINGTON (AP) - The FBI has opened an investigation into whether baseball great Roger Clemens lied to Congress when he denied taking steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs.
Law enforcement officials say the inquiry will focus on whether Clemens or his former personal trainer Brian McNamee (MAC-nah-mee) lied when they testified under oath about the use of steroids.

In testimony Feb 13 , Clemens told Congress he never used either drug. McNamee testified that he injected the seven-time Cy Young Award winner with steroids and human growth hormone at least 16 times from 1998 to 2001.

The FBI inquiry was prompted by a request Thursday from the House Oversight Committee, which singled out statements by Clemens as possibly false.

That fact that he lied under oath is what they want to find out, period, they could care less for what reason. The drug itself isn't what matters here.

afgh isn't a loss... but the reality is setting in that there is neither the infrastructure nor funds to eradicate the taleban that still own 10% of the country. Russia couldn't do it. today those pricks have cell phones and IEDs... even harder.

We own 90% of the country and it's serving our purposes, so it's not all bad there.

Afghanistan mission close to failing - US Updated at 7:30 PM

Injection of troops and aid has not brought stability says intelligence chief

After six years of US-led military support and billions of pounds in aid, security in Afghanistan is "deteriorating" and President Hamid Karzai's government controls less than a third of the country, America's top intelligence official has admitted.

Mike McConnell testified in Washington that Karzai controls about 30% of Afghanistan and the Taliban 10%, and the remainder is under tribal control.

The Afghan government angrily denied the US director of national intelligence's assessment yesterday, insisting it controlled "over 360" of the country's 365 districts. "This is far from the facts and we completely deny it," said the defence ministry.

But the gloomy comments echoed even more strongly worded recent reports by thinktanks, including one headed by the former Nato commander General James Jones, which concluded that "urgent changes" were required now to "prevent Afghanistan becoming a failed state".

what do you think the mission in afghanistan was?

to fix their shithole? or to set up bases and dig into that caspian sea oil?

Bush and CO. are reaching their goals, and they're making the US stronger because of it. Afghanistan getting looted. that simple.

See Rob, this is the problem and one of the reasons I didn't answer earlier about what you stated about Obama and the war, because it was simply idiotic what he said, I realized that as soon as I read it and strangly enough everyone else picked up on it as well including the liberal media.

Gotta admit though, Obama has some balls to even think he can stand in the same world as McCain when it comes to protecting this country. I've got to know though Rob, with all the things you come with I have yet to see a legit source it comes from, kinda like the 9/11 conspiracy rhetoric you come with......not a legit source to speak of.

Economy is not so bad...depends on who you talk to

Actually, a weak dollar helps our businesses sell their products overseas...so that can actually help the economy and trade deficit, and can also tame inflation and keep interest rates down

And gas is over $7 in many foreign companies, so it is still a great deal here...unless you piss your money away on Starbucks lattes

And you should NEVER lie under oath...no matter what the reason

16 times over a two year period, how the fuck would that have any effect on his performance....the trainer is total liar, he needed a big name for his upcoming book and movie deal and he picked Clemens. He is a fuck head.

I would say the Clemens is 100% SCWREAD BIG TIME for lying his ass off.

All I know is what I hear from their own mouths:

Obama: Hit pakistan.
Bush: Hit pakistan.
Mccain: Hitting pakistan is wrong.

How can you ignore that?
