Oh boy... Stephy starts out showing clip of Rummy saying "The idea that this is a quagmire is so fundamentally wrong" and says "but our abc/post poll shows people think it is"... SOD explains the discrepancy.

[Bahbah]

Rummy just said that Hagel's statement that we're losing in Iraq is flat wrong.

[Capn TrVth]

Hehe! You can roll even the largest King's Pine around like toothpicks with one of them puppies ;>

I'm in trouble ;>

I just hope that SOMEONE on one of this mornings show thanks Sen. Dick Durbin for giving aid, comfort and support to the Iraqi insurgency...

[FreedomNeocon]

Stephy: Rummy: "C'mon, Let me finish here George... we can do this"

[krunkygirl]

wish i was that clever-- ;)

[Bahbah]

Timmy tries to trap Rummy with the "have you made mistakes" question.

[Morgan in Denver]

Thanks for the posting, I can't bear to watch it.

[rodguy911]

I hope that story is still alive, the MSM has tried to derail it in favor of Rove's comments. I hope it doesn't work. They are trying to get Rove to play aspirin factory for them, time for a diversion Bubba style.

[Bahbah]

Timmy won't let go of the "fundamental misjudgements were made" line.

[FreedomNeocon]

Rummy: (on biden quoting Iraq troop strength)

"He is speaking from data that we give him.

He is quoting it negatively... I am reporting it... accurately."

[Morgan in Denver]

Rummy: Yes Tim, treating you with more respect than you deserve has been a mistake. (I wish)

[rodguy911]

We don't get it til 10 Eastern here, how bout you Morgan and good morning to you.

[demkicker]

The only place I've heard that is from my old man, who is well into his 70's. He's got one about "Old Lady Hunt" ever heard it?

No, I haven't heard that one. Is it a tongue twister too? When I was a child, I had a book of tongue twisters and this was my favorite. I think it fits well on a political board also (skunks & stumps = dems & republicans)!

Ever heard the one about Betty Boata?

[Just A Nobody]

Chris using the elusive "anonymous" phone call. Give me a break.

[FreedomNeocon]

Now Stephy has gone to asking about shortfalls in recruitment.

"What would it mean if we do not meet our goals?"
"Aren't you worried about a broken army?"

etc

[cd jones]

Wow, what a gem of a website. Thanks for that link!

[Capn TrVth]

Everyone that watched the Durbin story take root in the Arab media last week KNOWS that this recent spike of attacks is
-directly- tied to Durbin's traitorous comments.

Yet it's ANCIENT HISTORY to the MSM.

[FreedomNeocon]

Last question Stephy asks is "Was there a direct meeting with Insurgents in N Iraq on June 12th" or whatever..

Rummy responds he has no idea if there was some meeting on whatever date, but that the Iraqis are always looking for ways to secure their nation, and that the Sunnis made a mistake by not joining the political process.

[grace522]

How did Lindsay Graham slip through the wire? What a traitorous piece of slime.

[Morgan in Denver]

Mornin! All the shows come on here at nine mountain time so it's watch and tape anything else that looks good. I hate not being able to watch more but that's the way it is. At ten we have CNN and FNC opposite each other. That's why I pay attention to the posts. If good, I'll set the recorder.
