I'm sure all the networks will be showing this.

Exactly!! The knife from Kerry's back is under her polyester burka....that explains the new smell.

But I think this goes a little farther back and we can check the timing.

The Dems insisted that Bush's record be brought up by Kerry. From what I could perceive, he didn't want to go that way, anticipating the Vietnam stuff.

Thanks Rose. If it were not for the internet now, I would be totally stupid of what is going on because I would have thrown the TV out the window. A few months ago, my wife picked up the remote and hit the OFF button. She said my heart was not worth those bas***ds! She said, "go on line and read the right stuff" and don't watch these turds any more. Ever since I have not watched. I quit buying newspapers over three years ago after the elections because everyday it was a constant democommie rant about stealing the election, bla, bla, bla. I was sick of it. Now, when I get home in the evening, I go ride my bike 25-30 miles up and down hills to burn the crap of the day out of my mind and body! I hate democrats, PERIOD! If someone tells me they are a democrat or start spouting the democ crap, I simply get up and walk off. They say, "where are you going?" I told one guy here in the office, "I thought Stalin died in the 1950s, but I see he is alive and well in your mouth and kept walking."

I'll say one thing - I will be very upset if Rumsfeld is thrown to the wolves by Bush. Like usual, it will be our party who does it. Only Tom DeLay seems to be fighting now. I will be very upset. "George is getting upset!" (I'm a Seinfeld addict)

People don't even know who Kerry is, and how liberal he is. When our paid ads begin to thoroughly define him this summer and fall, he will be repudiated by the American people with disgust.

What are you talking about???? The guilty soldiers have not paid yet....and I certainly am NOT helping the Dems. I only said the Pres. should not have apologized, which is exactly what the Dems wanted him to do.

[cyncooper]

I know that.

I am 100% with President Bush.

Chrissy is not.

[Judith Anne]

Rummy will show them how the cow ate the corn!!!

My sentiments exactly, LOL! ;-D

[carton253]

Maybe after you've calmed down, we can have a discussion... all I see in your posts is incoherent hysteria!

[Frank_Discussion]

The Tangled Weave strikes again! The truth is truly WIERDER than we can imagine...

[Frank_Discussion]

What guy? I'm in a cubie, no TV/Radio access.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thanks for the thread, Howlin.

Thanks for the heads up, OXEN.

Rummy, ping!

[rbmillerjr]

After an apologetic and humble opening, Rummy will eat their lightweight lunch.

Mark my words.

[Peach]

You have a smart wife!

BRET BAIER FROM FOX NEWS JUST READ A REPORT HE SAYS FOX NEWS GOT ON JANUARY 16 THAT SAID THE MILITARY WAS ALREADY INVESTIGATING SOLDIERS AT AN IRAQ 'DETENTION CENTER' AND THAT INCRIMINATING PHOTOGRAPHS WERE INVOLVED!

I've been posting for 3 days (among the flamings) that this is a dead horse resurrected by the libs. Libs fed it and many conservatives took the bait--hook, line and sinker. They took a molehill issue (in the WoT) and managed to make a mountain out of it.

[On a side note, that no one in the media will notice now, is that Mansoor Ijaz is testifying today, in private (at the Committee's request, not Mansoor's), before the 9-11 Committee. Reminds me of the shell game BClinton used to use -- shooting missiles into an aspirin factory when Monica was to testify. hmmm.....]

[dfwgator]

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

Tit-for-tat??!?? If we played "tit-for-tat" we would have strung the Iraqis over on a bridge. If anything we've shown restraint.

[cake_crumb]

"Afterall, they only have the good of the country at heart.....right?"

Yeah...and they support our troops.

[spectre]

Exactly! Diplomatically, President Bush apologizing was the Politically Correct thing to do (mostly for the "other side"). Get it?

These hearings are all all part of a plot by Karl Rove to get the Dems to makes asses of themselves in public. The Dems, in front of cameras, lose it..always..again, remember the Wellstone Memorial service?.the Dems.Kennedy, Nyrd, willbe lookign for soundbites..anyting that appeals to the hard core dem base will turn off the middle of the electorate..

[Mo1]

I made it time .. WOW

[Right_in_Virginia]

When is Saddam going to be dragged before a committee?
