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

Figure of speech,but I did not want to hear that jerk.The day after this broke ,I woke up with my once a year throw up headache.

It hurt and endangered our military,the TV never stopped,the dems were standing on the pile of naked Iraqis to try to seem taller while they politicize this.
The HYPOCRISY of the arabs made me crazy!

[A Citizen Reporter]

Weldon: "I just wish the media would put the same emphasis on the attrocities committed by our enemies as they have on this."

[BlessedByLiberty]

Hmmm, could that be some of Clinton's relaxed military? No uniforms, no respect and no questions. The disgusted look on Rummy's face was priceless as they spoke of this.

[Cold Heat]

(hey, how's that for hyperbole)

Not bad at all, We are indeed self flagellating, the Iraqi's ain't bitching and the prisoners interviewed said they were otherwise well treated and seem to bear no grudge.

It is we who are having a mental fit of major proportions and it is because it is a political year.

He's my Congressman

good guy or bad?

[Diddle E. Squat]

Curt Weldon is doing a great job. Which is why MSNBC had to quickly cut away moments before he completely skewered the media, and asking where was the outrage over the methodical killing of the pregnant woman and her 4 children.

FWIW, CNN is the only one of the news channels that is continuing coverage.

[Eurotwit]

Get them by the balls. Their hearts and minds will follow.

Platoon Leader that is a family member of a congress staffer??

[Darlin']

I thought his mother was dumber than dirt but he is worse and to make matters worse he had the audacity to feign piety.

[gljones]

Curt Weldon is great! I like what he is saying, especially the comparison of media attention to the killing of the Israeli woman and her four children to the over exposure of the detainee abuse.
Another example that the media bias!

[mass55th]

"They show the Drunk Murderer after the Senate session calling for Rummy to resign and Powell to step in."

I like how Fox showed Kennedy and then Al Sadyr right after. What do these two men have in common?

Both are fat, ugly, bloviating murderers.

[faithincowboys]

I think bringing up My Lai is the wrong way to proceed--it is unhelpful in the extreme.

I think Heather Wilson's Air Force experience is a world away from the MPs experience in a hostile battlefield--where casualties are piling up-- dealing with the worst of the worst.

I think technology--digital cameras, et al-- are the difference here. I think what the MPs did isn't a pretty photo album, but I suspect it is SOP when dealing with the Islamists. They shouldn't have taken pictures and had them distributed.

CBS shouldn't have covered this at all. And the Congress should slow the Hell down and be responsible, patriotic Americans.

That is my take--MS. Wilson should stop her bullcrap at once.

[Mo1]

Curt is a good guy

I use to have Joe Hoffel till the redistricting

[Ben Chad]

HEAR HEAR

[PISANO]

I wish they were showing the faces of the Lib Dems while Cunningham is speaking

Most of the yellow socialist punks were GONE when Duke was speaking. The only Democrat I saw was the ranking member and one other.....the rest are probably appearing on ABCNNBCBS condeming our military and the SecDef and the President. Traitors all...IMHO!

[txradioguy]

The former Ms. Elizabeth Taylor is on deck w/ Jim Angle on FNC after the commercial break.

[tillacum]

Will the presstitutes of the alphabet press mention that statement? I think not.

[prairiebreeze]

Sitting this long for ANYBODY could pose some risks to the health. I hope the WH or Pentagon medical staff has prepped Rummy for this

[ken5050]

What was the Black caucus presser Duke referred to?
