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

[Howlin]

Exactly! Manufactured being the keyword!

[ken5050]

Abuse is having to listen to Sen Byrd speak for three hours..

[Cold Heat]

Snickers bar works great!

[Humal]

Oh, no! I thought he was through with this mess! God bless him and give him strength.

Rumsfeld did in fact bow up when he addressed Clintons questions. Could be that he knows?

Could be. But also could be the natural tendency of one when confronted with "the beast". I know I would.

Fox anchor Bob Sellers didn't even challenge this woman on anything she said. Fox is full of nothing but liberal hacks and apologists.

CSpan 1 is carrying Rumsfeld in the House Armed Services Committee meeting live now.

[Howlin]

And we won't hear a word about that.

My dog hides under the bed during thunderstorms...
;O)

Oh, Lordy, how much more do you think I can take ? LOL I'm gonna have to seek medication if this keeps up. Anti-nausea for starters.

[GottaLuvAkitas1]

Callers are saying stuff like
1. "we need to know everything" (I don't need to know EVERTTHING. Why should we?)
2. "Rumsfeld sounded more outraged over the leak then the abuse"
3. and stuff like Fire Rmmy.

Stupid people mostly. They had to stop taking calls thank goodness, for the other hearings on now.

[ken5050]

There's gonna be some sharp dialogue betweent he em and Pubbies on the panel. The chair won't take no s**t

[Sacajaweau]

I'm guessing that most of us feel that this is a military matter, which is being investigated and will be taken care of by the military in the proper fashion and forum.

I'm gonna have to seek medication if this keeps up.

I still think Jim Robinson needs to buy us an INFIRMARY!

[Judith Anne]

Who is the House guy talking now? He's terrific!

[Howlin]

Hunter?

Please WARN us....I've never SEEN that one pics....I'm in tears here.....and PISSED!!!!!!more than ever!!!!

I agree there should be some warning accompanying a photo so graphic. I'd gone out of my way to avoid veiwing the pics of the burned and mutilated contractors (just reading about it was bad enough), because I'm one of those "faints, vomits, and has nightmares at the sight of blood" types.

Previously, people were only posting a link to the photos, accompanied by a warning, giving us a choice as to whether or not we wished to see these horrific images, but now the photos themselves are being posted everywhere. I saw one for the first time last night, and almost fell out of my chair.

I suppose the person who posted the photo did obtain the reaction he wanted from me, though. After initially being shocked, sickened, and upset, I then became very, very angry, and wanted to hop on the first plane to Fallujah, find every one of those smirking terrorists, and blow their brains out.

Why doesn't Rumsfeld, et al deserve a break?...Like maybe lunch?

[GottaLuvAkitas1]

"I'm gonna puke at all these CSPAN callers....
I used to love politics, I am loathing all of em at this point (OK, I love our president and Rummy is awesome) but for the most part they all suck.
I think I need to crawl into a hole and get into fetal position. Thank God for Freepers and this forum."


I agree!
However Joe L was a good guy today. I will write him a thank you note.
