Comments...and your opinion..Which Dem wull say the dumbest thing today?
I heard him earlier and David Asman pointed out some salient facts, like as soon as the allegations were made the military launched an immediate investigation and announced they were doing so.
I just saw that Jacobs on MSNBC and he started out claiming today's hearing was vague and only elictied partial answers. WHAT?! I thought it crystalized the situation and made it plain. However, Jacobs did "opine" that it was most likely a rogue group of poorly supervised people acting on their own (DUH, that was the testimony!). So while it was aggravating that he characterized the hearing the way he did, he did manage to arrive at the same deductions that were offered.
How exasperating these media types (including "military analylsts") can be.

THE CLINTON NATIONAL SECURITY SCANDAL AND COVERUP June 23, 1999 Senator James Inhoffe (R-OK)
Oklahoma senator makes emergency landing
May 10, 1999

CLAREMORE, Okla. (AP) Sen. Jim Inhofe, a pilot for 41 years, made an emergency landing early Saturday after the propeller fell off his airplane.
Inhofe, R-Okla., was not injured, but his single-engine airplane was slightly damaged, said press secretary Danny Finnerty. Inhofe was alone in the aircraft.
Inhofe said he glided for about eight miles before landing the plane at Claremore Airport. He said he took off from Ketchum, where he keeps his 1979 Grumman Tiger, and had been in the air about 10 minutes when trouble began.
"I noticed a vibration," he said, then heard a pop as the propeller dropped off.
The plane became tail heavy and he knew it would be difficult landing, he said. "I wasn't sure I could make it," he said.
Inhofe, an experienced, commercially rated pilot, was en route from northeastern Oklahoma to Oklahoma City, where he was to meet President, who was touring tornado-ravaged parts of central Oklahoma.
Finnerty said the FBI has been asked to investigate because "propellers don't just fly off airplanes every day."
The propeller was found on a county road about four miles from the airport by G.W. Curtis, who graduated from Central High School in Tulsa with Inhofe. Curtis returned the propeller to Inhofe at the airport.
I also didn't go through FNC but somewhere else reputable.
We were all eating lunch and almost choked we were laughing so hard!
Better practice up on the Heimlich there, DocRock, just in case.
I understand and that makes sense. I just so despise the Dems habit of vilifying (as an example) all pro-life judicial nominees, regardless of the lack of a record to support their contentions. In this case, there is a record that condemns Karpinski and it speaks for itself. I hate to give oxygen to the "Karpinski-types," as if something other than her incompetence has led her to her present status.
My biggest worry is that they will be lenient with him. I would hope they would allow the families of the people he tortured and slaughtered to line up and STONE him to death (and then some...).
