Rumsfeld ~ Bump!

We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!

She is MUCH worse today. I have NEVER heard her sound like THAT!

[A Citizen Reporter]

She's always been a slow-talker, but today her batteries sound nearly dead! It's slower than usual.

Why is Susan Collins talking like this.......R- E-A-L S-L-O-W.

[StriperSniper]

And Reed is a drama queen

He reminds me of a toad.(With apologies to my amphibian friends ;-)

[skeeter]

One can always count on Susan Collins climbing on the bandwagon.

Who cares that she's no different than Ted Kennedy? She a REPUBLICAN & shes ELECTABLE.

McCain = Manchurian candidate

[cajungirl]

Dont misunderstand me. Joe Lieberman is a decent man. He is also Jewish. He supports this war not only for us but for Israel. Israel is a whole lot closer and more at risk from Islamists,,heck they are attacked daily. The peril to them is huge. L knows that and he also know the anti semitism in the dem party, Hillary primarily. I am not insulting Joe.

Rummy is going off on her

[maryz]

Susan Collins (sounds like she's on downers, but maybe she always sounds that way): Must now try to convince the world that horrific images are not the real America. Troubled by Pentagon's failure to come forward to reveal abuse, to express outrage and concern. Believes that had they done that would have mitigated perception, esp. in Muslim communities. Doesn't mean press releases; Rummy should have come forward. Do you believe you erred in not coming forward to world community? [God what an idiot she is!]

Rumsfeld: Thinks he responded in full in his statement. He see swift corrective action. DoD announced that abuse was being charged, criminal investigations underway. No one in Pentagon had seen photos; they were part of investigative process. It is the photos that gives vivid realization; words don't do it. 1200 court martials underway. Importance of protecting rights of people charged and seeing they don't get off because of command influence. Did not release Taguba to press -- against the law. Shocked everyone. But can't suggest CENTCOM did not take swift action.

[TNdandelion]

Ohhh! He's getting mad!! Go Rummy~

[bonfire]

Rummy is gettin' P.O.'d.

[commish]

OH man --Rummy is just BITCH-slapping Collins!!!

[BSunday]

I remember hearing that he wasn't a Bush guy .. but I didn't know he was a Kerry guy

If you're not a Bush guy, then you're a Kerry guy. Remember that in November !

Thanks!
