Rangel: "Is there any evidence that the rat in the hole coordinated resistance?"

Rangel is asking "Is there any evidence that the rat in the hole coordinated resistance?" He's calling Saddam a "bum."

I say that, on the face of it, there may be evidence that he did NOT coordinate the resistance, given his appearance and where/how he was found. Even THAT is important information to know.

What Rangel is not saying is that if we hadn't gotten Saddam, Rangel would be running around still claiming that Saddam WAS coordinating the resistance. Now that we have him, Rangel is saying that there is no evidence that he was coordinating the resistance. I say there is value in suspecting that he wasn't coordinating the resistance because we can now eliminate that possibility and move on to other alternatives.

They want it both ways.

Bottom line: Charlie Rangel IS a rat.

Did you hear what Rangel said on an open mic when they were going to the first commercial break?

He started by saying "This program is a ..." and I did not catch the rest, but it did not sound like something good.

GrrrrrrRrrrangle!

[Political Junkie Too]

No, I missed it.

[Ham Hock]

To clarify, It did not sound like something good due to the tone of his voice, even though I could not hear what he said.

Well they got good intel from that hole and have taken other mooks into custody because of it. In fact they are running an op today I believe based on intel that rathole Hussein had with him. Evidently Charlie is wrong again.

...and he represents Harlem. Rangel's a rat in a hellhole. I suppose he knows of what he speaks.

Rangle is a schmuck. Nothing done under a Republican administration would please him. Bush could pass every socialist program he has been wanting passed for years, and he would still not be happy with it. He makes me glad my tv remote has a 'mute' button. I can't stand the bloviating buffoon.

Here is Rangels proof...

GAD! I'm glad I wasn't the only one watching this.

I'd love to have taken Sean's chair against the peacenik....

I notice how they love to spin the bad news, but they show their intellectual dishonesty in doing so.

Last week, Colmes was debating Bush's refusal to allow France, Germany, and Russia to receive Iraq contracts. Colmes phrased the question, "Is it right to exclude countries who chose not to get involved in the war?" I was yelling at the TV "But they did choose to get involved -- they got involved on the OTHER SIDE!!"

To tell you the truth, I'd rather watch Rangle blather than watch the Jacko segment coming up! LOL

Bad Time Charlie's got the blues.

According to reports, some of the papers Saddam had with him in his hole included names of some insurgent leaders in Bagdad.

Also, the papers had names of some insurgents who had infiltrated into the Iraqi Council and military installations (as translators, helpers, etc.)

Sheila Jackson Lee?? Quannel X?!?!

THIS is going to be good!

Ping some lists here!

[Burkeman1]

Rangel reminds me of old Irish pols from Boston, partisan always but always common man and common sense. And he is right. Sadaam controlled nothing but about two guys who guarded him and he and them may have been held captive once in the hole and sold out to us.

It doesn't matter anyway if Rangel is right. The POTUS said that Sadaam's capture would mean nothing to ending attacks against our troops in Iraq.

[yooper]

Charlie Rangel didn't coordinate resistance, but he surely encouraged it, as did his liberal pals....

[Political Junkie Too]

Sure. The American opposition wants to make Hussein and bin Laden out to be bogeymen until they are found, and then they want to diminish their importance once we find them.

Sheila thinks Assad is responding to terrorists because of folks like her making nice!
