That's an interesting switch. Thanks for the update and the weekly thread.

[CharlotteVRWC]

What time will that be on Fox tonight?

[Arrowhead1952]

Thank goodness I don't have to watch MEET THE DEPRESSED today with Goffy Annan. Don't think I could take that.

[Peach]

I get Fox News Sunday at 9:00 a.m. EST and although I've heard it is replayed later in the day, I'm afraid I don't know what time.

[netmilsmom]

Me too!
My girls are dancing at St. Florian's for the Strawberry Festival.
I'll tell you how annoying the Muslim call to prayer is in Hamtramck.

[jackbill]

Joe Biden is on EVERY Sunday.

He's bucking for VP.

[Quilla]

Who can guess the motives of these liars? What's so amazing is that Wilson was originally going to title his book What I Didn't Find in Niger. Apparently, since he basically outs Baghdad Bob as the potential Iraqi trying to buy the uranium, that title would have been a joke. Still, The Politics of Truth is a pretty funny one as well.

Fox News Sunday is replayed on the FNC at 5:00 pm (Eastern)

[Mo1]

I get Fox News Sunday at 9:00 a.m. EST and although I've heard it is replayed later in the day, I'm afraid I don't know what time.

On the east coast it re-airs at 5pm

[Alas Babylon!]

Yup. First time in all the years I've been posting the thread that they've added a guest. However, I had a very hard time finding a guest line up last night. I usually have many sources (provided by Google), but as late as 11:00 PM Central last night, finally found one, and only one.

[EllaMinnow]

FOXNews replays Fox News Sunday at 5 PM Eastern.

[Peach]

Thanks.

So far no hint of what is in store for later in the show.

[Mo1]

He's on FOx Sunday also

[Peach]

So that's how you find the line up. I should have guessed...

[Mo1]

Gen. Meyers is on Fox answering questions about the soldiers abusing the Iraq prisoners

[Peach]

Gen. Meyers - the reporting is very inaccurate re Fallujah.

It would be preferable if the Iraqis would deal with the situation. We think we have found a viable way for Iraqis to do this. People are being vetted as we speak and will not be placed in command until they are cleared.

We think we're close to having Iraqis help our objectives in Fallujah.

[ride the whirlwind]

If these shows like political mavaricks so much, when is Zell Miller going to come on?

Good question!

[Carolinamom]

Surprise, surprise. General Myers says that the reporting on Falughi (sp?) has been inaccurate.

[Peach]

Meyers: We want Iraqis to do this work. Reports of Marines have pulled back - not true. They are still where they have been.

This force is not staying in Fallujah. They are going to turn over the job eventually to Iraqis and then move on to another area.

It is preferable to having Iraqis do the work. We think there's a chance this will work. The former Republican Guard (I've forgotten his name and didn't catch it) has not been vetted yet and he will not be in command! (That's good news).

[Peach]

Meyers: Over 600 Iraqis have shown up and asked to be vetted and if they can help.

Saddam had trouble with this town. (I didn't know that!)

If we can make this work, it will be a prototype for the rest of Iraq.
