As clinton made his apologizing tour of the world

Ah, yes. The Blind Ambition Tour.

[Frank_Discussion]

To be honest, I believe a broom handle was used inapproprately as an enema a time or two during the abuse period.

(Still not a Man-Shredder, though, is it?)

[ThomasMore]

Proof they're using it to destroy Bush.

Exactly! They have nothing else to throw at him.

[Howlin]

And the shriller they get, the calmer he will get. We may see a new and kinder Rumsfeld today..........LOL.

[katnip]

Just tell us where to send the bail money!

Why, thanks!

I don't get Hardball and so didn't see that.

I wrote Inhofe a month ago or so and recommended he talk about the links between Iraq/AQ more often and encourage the administration to do so as well.

Links are here for later reading :-)

Somebody on MSNBC now saying that "the feeling is that Rumsfeld has got to be brought to heel."

They've hated him since Bush first mentioned his name.

Let them make fools out of themselves.

[maryz]

. . . did anybody see Senator Inhofe on Hardball last night hold up a TopSecret Iraqi Intell document (from 1992 I believe) linking Iraq and al Qaeda

And the mainstream media didn't run with that story??!!! (I wish I had seen it, but I don't watch Hardball.)

FNC - Spain confirms American's prints found on Madrid evidence of 3/11 bombing.

You and me both. I have quit watching TV. I don't listen to regular radio any longer. Only right wing radio shows. I simply got sick and tired of EVERY time I turned on the news, it was a Bush, conservative, Rush, Sean, religious bashing. I got tired of the crap. I don't read the newspapers anymore. I get my news off the internet. The leftist Seattle papers are a daily socialist democrat propaganda sheet. If I want that crap, I will just go to Pravda's main web site and read the local RED news. I hate the press as much as I hate the bad guys. More probably, because they hide behind the very rights those people in uniform are out there giving them.

These sickening leftists think that everything will be ok when Islam takes over. Hillery will be the grand poo-ba and all will be right for them. They do not realize those Is-lam-iks will kill every stinking one of them why they say, "but, why, we are your friends, we love you." But, they will die just the same. I fear our great Republic is going to go the same way the Soviet Union did, down, hard, and end up in ruin. The leftist are seeking to destroy this country as it was founded and turn it into a socialist, leftist, God hating, homosexual state.

I love Rumsfeld's "How can you possibly be that stupid" expression on his face when he listens to idiotic questions.

[ThomasMore]

(Still not a Man-Shredder, though, is it?)

Why aren't these numb-nut Dims crying foul when the insurgents and terrorists mutilate our own. (friggin traitors)

[maeng]

So do the Dems/liberals.....

[metesky]

Keep away from Chapaquidick unless you want murderous outrage to have a permanent home in your heart.

[Right_in_Virginia]

This is extraordinary news.

[Miss Marple]

I am wondering what news will be announced on nationwide television by Rumsfeld while he has everyone's attention.

[carton253]

Should American Prisoners of War being subjugated to the same abuse that the Iraqi prisoners were?

Let's say they were, does that give American soldiers a green light to retaliate and abuse the Iraqi POW's?

If we are mistreating Iraqi POW's, what's to stop the Iraqis from playing tit-for-tat. I'm thinking of Matt Mauphin, now a hostage.

Even if the Iraqis play tit-for-tat, does it still make what those soldiers did right?

Furthermore, you have confused fighting the war with decent treatment of POWS. The fact that you can't see that you have confused the two is a little disturbing.

I am beginning to think that no matter what the truth is, what we say, what Rummy says,,,it makes no difference to anyone. They either like GWB or they are not going to vote for him. I cannot imagine who the undecideds are at this point. And the news is really really wearing me thin. I simply cannot watch it.

[Frank_Discussion]

I hope he hamstrings them, calmly. Get past all those long knives, and eff 'em up bad, Rummy!

If I were him, I'd bring a few visual aids showing the conditions at the prison during the tenure of the previous administrators...
