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

Kerry wanted the dems to lay low on Rummy because he's afraid this will bring back Kerry's Vietnam shenanigans

[bellevuesbest]

Does anybody know where we can find a transcript of todays hearing?

[faithincowboys]

Let's hope. But their outrageous, headlong approach is stunning. I hope they do pullback. I ahev yet to see how they conducted themselves in the Senate hearing--I missed much of that. Who was the most outrageous?

I have only seen clips??

I am immensely concerned that that SOB Kerry seems to think it is a great issue for him. I sure hope he is miscalculating the Hell out of this--he's done that before.

[maica]

the same way that dems become "Republican" election judges in certain areas where "irregularities" regularly occur, just by becoming a volunteer.

[Mo1]

My point is that they must have polled to see what the American pub thinks about those pics, i suspect the results have emboldened them--they seem to be acting like there is no downside to their outrageousness

I have no doubt that most americans thought those pictures were bad

But i doubt very much CBS did a poll of them

CBS did it to start trouble .. that is plainly obvious

Again .. May I suggest you chill a bit

[cyncooper]

Thanks....very interesting and we'll have to see how that progresses.

Well, my head is spinning after this day!

[cajungirl]

any word on Ijaz today?

[txradioguy]

After the pictures I saw sent and recieved and what I saw happening on webcam's over there I wouldn't be surprised if there was a tape of the conception.

[CurlyBill]

In that case, I will Rep. Evans a pass. My bad for harping on him.

His brand of politics is still nothing but garbage for the most part. Another Democrat with no ideas and a warped view of the world.

[CasearianDaoist]

The leak came to Hillary, and probably from that female general who has been making the rounds with her lawyer, to cover her butt.

Bingo! Good call babe! The question is will the GOP have the guts to go after this? The leak needs to be treateda a formal criminal matter under the UCMJ. Since it is probably on the military side, investigation and prosecution can begin with out the usual fuss required at the DoJ.

If I would have been Rummy I would have said to Hillie "The source does not matter? What do you mean 'Does not matter?" We will prosecute this with all due diligence and to the full extent of the law! we will follow it were it leads, even if it leads to Senators who have taken money from the parent company of CBS! Don't you agree Senator?"

I know that is expecting too much.

[Mo1]

Powell isn't as secure as Condi. He is a McCain in many ways and he wants to be liked--he wants the Lefties in the media and Gov't to like him.

Powell may be many things but he is no McCain .. not even close

Powell is a military man .. he has seen war up front and if he can avoid it ... he will try

Which they did and Saddam didn't take the offer .. so we removed him

[Dane]

Again .. May I suggest you(faithincowboys0 chill a bit

JMO, they will be throwing snowballs in hell before that happens.

[mindspy]

I just want to know how potential liver recipients have died because of Big Bloated Ted. That bloated toad has to have cirrosis. I'll just bet he's had two or three liver tranplants that have been kept secret. This sounds like I'm joking but there is no way someone can drink like that and still be alive unless they've received a new liver or two. I am curious.

[maica]

I have not heard anything at all about Ijaz today.

[Mo1]

very interesting and we'll have to see how that progresses.

Yep .. Weldon gave just enough info to get people thinking

Well I need to go spend some time with my family before they think I'm glued to this chair .. BBL

[cajungirl]

None of us will make it to election day if we don't chill some. My word, I knew this would be ugly but this has surpassed 2000 by a mile already and it is only May. What more is going to come down the pike. I sure hope we have some mud in reserve.

[faithincowboys]

That was docile? From the clips I have seen, they behaved terribly. They ought not suggest that Rummy should resign. They ought not to suggest that this is systemic. they ought not suggest that thiscountry has lost it's moral authority.

I think they have been vicous partisans indifferent to the welfare of the troops, the outcome of the war and the nation's image.

They have been outrageous and opportunistic to the detriment of our national interest and they should not be credited by hacks like Major Garrett for their restraint or docility.

[Mo1]

LOL .. hey I tried :0)

[faithincowboys]

I am chilled--this is be chilled.

CBS committed treason, IMHO.

The polls look bad, IMHO.

Most Americans should look at the pics in proper context.

I for one resent that they were ever reported.

I hope there is an overwhelming backlash to the media.

[faithincowboys]

Today was the day that Ijaz testified. How striking. The Left desperately doesn't want Ijaz to be heard. Why is this not surprising that this hearing today sucked out all the oxygen on Ijaz.
