Since Graham's heart operation he has proven himself to be incoherent and excessively absent minded.

Since he writes his every thought in a book every day, I would like to see the entry for the day he had that conversation with General Franks before I'd believe it.

This is the Senator who documents his poops in writing, isn't it?

It looks like Graham got FUD duty this weekend.

``He laid out a very precise strategy for fighting the war on terror,'' Graham said.

Is there something WRONG with that?

I'll be interested to see if General Franks has anything to say about this.

I thought that the military as a rule studied and planned for any contingency,like they did for Japan for years before anyone had a remote idea that we'd ever be at war with them. What would be so strange about having studied the possibility of war in Iraq,considering the fact that Saddam for a decade refused to cooperate with the UN(snicker),and that we'd already been there once to kick them out of Kuwait?

Dueling books: Graham vs Franks.

[I think I would go with General Franks' version.]

Graham the Senate Intelligence Committee chairman. Graham, intelligence. It would be funny if it didn't explain 9/11. The there is Kerry, also on the Senate Intelligence Committee, only he never went.

Looks like "I Passed A Soft One Today"Graham is doing some mutual cover for Kerry.

Mr. Bob Graham can now spew his disinformation as he is not running for reelection. Just proving himself to be a party to leftist agenda in America.

Hey Dummy we are at War and your disclosures of undocumented fact are just another spin that the MSM will report as proven fact. /barfing!

He should of really just play with his real estate in Florida at Miami Lakes and forgot overseeing anything he is just plain incompetent to ever have been in a job of that magnitude...

Graham's version sounds about right. Franks has always impressed me. I doubt if he was snookered too much by the neocons and their theories for going into Iraq. He did have the good judgement to retire before getting bogged down in the post-war problems. It sounds reasonable that Somalia was a hot bed of Al Qaeda because Bin Laden spent considerable time there.

And???

Here is a guy doing Sunday talk shows to shill his book when his home state is being wiped out by a hurricane. I wonder who comes first, his career or his constituency?
