One of these days, I would like to see these articles come from someplace other than NewsMax.
Yeah, is this story on Reuters? Oh no, they're busy with that whole "Bush uses the bathroom" scoop...
There is a shot where Blanco is being set up several days ago for a TV interview, and her press secretary is helping her adjust her mic. Theyre having a personal conversation, but the cameraman catches it!! In it, she kinda jokes to her press secretary something like yeah, well I guess I really need to ask for troops, and a couple more things she says. A bit later in hte segment she gets into a semi-argument with Miles OBrien, and hes pointedly asking her exactly WHEN she asked the President for troops. She gets frustrated and says she didnt even know what day it was the, she was confused, but Miles presses her.
