Yet it's ANCIENT HISTORY to the MSM.

Chris Wallace to break - coming back with Rove's comments, the swimmer and ... NO DURBIN.

Wallace went after Durbin-laden big time during a radio interview but when asked about Rove, Wallace insisted it was only a few 'nuts' who were against military response to 9/11.

Wallace didn't fall far from the lying tree.

Timmy brings up DSM. No discussion of what to do after the war. Rummy says there was a good deal of post war planning.

That's my fear that this story gets buried by the usual MSM diversion.

MTP: Secretary Rumsfeld and Bono..... from the sublime to the ridiculous.

But I'm glad to see Rummy getting out there to put the kibosh on all the quagmire and defeat orgy going on in the MSM.

Good morning,

I'd take Wallace at his word on the phone call. He sais it was a man who served in Vietnam whose sone is now serving in Iraq. The father expressed concern that we were fighting this like Vietnam; that we did not have the troop strength there to win.

Rumsfeld explained yet again that the troop levels are set by the generals and that he and the president concurred.

He also said that the U.S. will not beat the insurgency, but the Iraqi people will beat them--that is how insurgencies are defeated.

He also commented on the report of meetings between the U.S. and Iraqi insurgency leaders. He said they happen all the time and to not make too much of this report. He said one of the goals of the meetings is to peel off the Iraqi insurgents from al-Qaeda in Iraq.

Rumsfeld once again says torture is not our policy and that the isolated instances of mistreatment have been investigated and those responsible punished.

Ohhhh.. Stephy's panel shows Rove's recent comment.

Stephy: Assumes it was well thought out, and asks did he set it up as a trap or did he just overreach.

Panel says:

Bush's standing on independants is just as bad as standing with 'liberals', and says this is just pushing away more independants.

Admits there are some in the liberal camp as Rove says, but says he overgeneralized liberals on whole.


Stephy asks: Does the military pay attention to this?

Panel: Nope, they don't listen to any of that. Doesn't matter why they are there, they have a job to do.

Mild slap down by Rummy when interrupted by Wallace.

Rummy hitting it home by stressing torture claims include holding combatants without a known date for release. Compared
to POW not knowing release date.

Rumsfeld asked to comment on Rove's remarks about libs this week. He says Rove was talking about folks like MoveOn and Michael Moore and that Rove was right.

The useful-idiot 'Bono' on Meet The de-Press-ed the same day as Pentagon Don.

I'm sure ole Timmy will have fun getting cozy with 'Bono'. And I wait with baited breath for the nuggets of knowledge that fall from 'Bono's' lips.

And it just gets better. It's a real shame he can't be our next POTUS.

How about a Cheney / Rumsfeld ticket????

LOL! Wallace sets up replay of Kennedy's attack on Rumsfeld at the hearing last week by warning Rummy, "This may be torture."

Rumsfeld slaps down Kennedy by saying he's never been to Iraq. Wallace asks if Rumsfeld, as on old wrestler, wanted to put Kennedy in a headlock. Rumsfeld laughed but said he's not supposed to get into politics. He also chided Wallace for not showing clips of the generals standing up to Kennedy after his tirade.
