[Alas Babylon!]

Wow! He's getting around today. Proof to those who mistakingly state these shows are taped.

[Mo1]

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

I remember the press reporting a pull back .. and then the C-130's showed up

McConnell and Biden are up now discussing the abuse of iraq soldiers

[Peach]

Mitch McConnell: Hard to improve on what Gen. Meyers said about the six soldiers who abused Iraqis. We have zero tolerance for this kind of behavior.

Biden: Agrees with Mitch but confident in military.
Thinks administration doesn't get the sense of urgency. No one is going to believe in Europe or America until they ...blah blah blah. Single most damaging something act.

McConnell - these defendants are going to get due process and I don't see evidence that we aren't moving forward with getting this resolved.

Biden: Everyone sees what trouble this has caused. The president is indignant and angry about it. I'm not suggesting that the due process and civil rights be taken away from these soldiers, but we must have a sense of urgency. There has to be a greater showing of indignation.
I have great faith in Gen. MEeyers but he should have said ...Blah Blah Blah

[Mo1]

Question .. how did the media get this report about what happen to the iraq soldiers

Biden is being all doom and gloom .. ever notice how Biden always says "I'm not suggesting" .. and the goes on to suggest something

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

When trouble in Fallujah first erupted a couple of months ago, one report said that even Saddam had trouble with Fallujah. The city was so bad (thugs and such) that even Saddam would not go into the city. Apparently, Fallujah has been a real cesspool for a long time, even during Saddam's reign.

[Peach]

BIden was ridiculous. He said a lot of words, over and over, that didn't MEAN anything.

[Peach]

You picked up on that but it went right by me a month or so ago about what a cesspool Fallujah has always been.

[Timeout]

Chris (and all the other MediaCrats) keep repeating that the "insurgents" in Fallujah are "declaring victory!".

Do they NOT understand that propaganda is the only strategic weapon those creeps have?! You're being used, Chris! Open your eyes!

[ride the whirlwind]

McConnell is talking about returning Fallujah to normal. Has that city ever been normal I wonder?

[shadeaud]

Kofi is putting me to sleep. He's now attempting to cover the U.N's butt on the oil for food scandal. Kofi is a swindler and taught his son well

[mathluv]

Wow! I am late this morning. I want to hear what Chris Wallace has to say about Koppel.

[Timeout]

Biden, through his "concerns", just sent a message to the Sunni population in Iraq. He said, if after another year, the Sunni population has not embraced democracy, we will have failed.

Message: Hey, Achmed, keep fighting. The propaganda can win this for you!

[Peach]

Reports the other day that over 80% of the paper trail have been conveniently "lost".

Koffi Annan didn't dare appear on a television show until those documents were destroyed. Now that he knows he can't be found guilty, he'll appear on all the shows claiming his innocence, his son's innocence, and how the audit will be open and conducted by non-interested parties. What a bunch of crap.

[TomGuy]

The first action of the new Iraqi government should be to indict Koffi and the UN on charges of theft and corruption at the ICC. Koffi and the UN should be held liable for scamming the Food for Oil program.

[mathluv]

The President was great. Can't say the same for Leno!

[Mo1]

Do they NOT understand that propaganda is the only strategic weapon those creeps have?! You're being used, Chris! Open your eyes!

They would have to be living on a rock not to realize that.

One would think when Al-Sadr quoted Teddy Kennedy's speech about Vietnam .. the left would pick up a clue that their words Cost Lives

[YaYa123]

A Wilson prediction....EZ, cause he's been doing it for a week already.
Wilson is following the Woodward book hype mode. In his book he doesn't name who is responsible for the leak to Novak, but on the book tour he names Scooter Livvy in the VP's office. (I can imagine Chris Mathews goes into full drool orgasm at the very sound of S C O O T E R coming from someone else's lips.

Listen for Wilson's self-serving, "my wife is a victim of this administration's evil attack machine" whine. Listen for Wilson to say 5 reporters back up what he writes in his book. He doesn't name the reporters, and he didn't "write" what he says they back up, but nevermind...he's on tv...in all his glory.

[steveegg]

Biden, through his "concerns", just sent a message to the Sunni population in Iraq. He said, if after another year, the Sunni population has not embraced democracy, we will have failed.

Someone want to refresh Biden's memory on how long it took for us to "impose" democracy on Japan? Why does the time frame of 7-8 years sound familiar?

[Catspaw]

Kofi may be putting you to sleep, but he seems to be a bit squirmy and trying to reframe the argument on the oil-for-food scandal.

[Peach]

Dole: Doesn't know what possessed Kerry to come back and against the war. But he'll have to live with his words and that's the record.
