If he had a better spokesman he wouldn't have this pressure.

I have been saying that for years. Am whispering to avoid being skewered this morning. hehehe

[MNJohnnie]

The dems retained two governerships..am I missing something here about the collapse of the Republicans?

Funny how no one in the Dinasour Media ever brings up how Ohio overwhelmingly rejected the Moveon.org "get even with them for 2004" ballot initiative campaign

Carl Levin – Seven Hair Combover Alert
All in all, ........... no food intake is safe until late afternoon!

Not fair..I counted at least 9 hairs in that combover.

The second statement is absolutely 'dead on balls' accurate :-)

[conservativebabe]

Just joining this morning.

So, I see Drudge has Howard the Coward declining to appear on Russert with Mehlman.

He is a class A, #1 shmuck. Course, even that is an insult to shmucks.

[eeevil conservative]

WOW!

I want to hear that!!!


ARG- Dean is on- I'm gonna puke..

[Mo1]

I just watched that part. Rockefeller had the "deer in the headlights" look the entire time. Talk about Stuck On Stupid.

He sounded like my 13 yr. old spinning after being caught in a lie

[texianyankee]

I'm puking with ya! Dean just came on - central time here.

[STARWISE]

Morning Rod .. bet things are dreamy in the Keys today. You all sure have earned some peace in paradise.

Chances are nill that Able Danger will surface anywhere .. too fraught with REAL conspiracies and fact twisting. If any of you have a chance to catch the replay of Rep. Curt Weldon's presser, don't miss it.

The man's relentless .. he's not letting go .. showed a chart from another similar program called Able Providence. All this is being buried and orchestrated, he knows it .. bluntly calls it a cover-up, and the biggest story of his lifetime.

It's truly appalling to learn of the walls and the obfuscation put up at every turn .. from all the intelligence and military agencies and officers .. to the vainglorious politicos orchestrating their personal agendas ... not to mention the apparent nonchalant destruction of Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer's long and dutiful career. Apparently he's so much niggling flotsam to their grand plan.

I pray we learn the truth, and there's some righteous and decent decision maker somewhere who'll want to start tearing the veils and right the wrongs .. just for the good of the US ..and the hell with the consequences.

========================

"Dissatisfied with the response, Weldon today announced new revelations, which he says, “expose even more blunders prior to 9/11 and point to a wider coverup.” The latest findings include Able Danger information provided to defense officials about terrorist activity in the Port of Aden prior to a deadly attack on the USS Cole in October 2000; the discovery of another Able Danger member who confirms a set of data not accounted for by the Pentagon; recent statements by the 9-11 Commission about Able Danger; and the latest efforts by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) to smear Able Danger member Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, who broke the silence about the Pentagon’s efforts to track al-Qa’ida worldwide prior to September 11.

Weldon says it was “the intent of Congress that the 9/11 Commission take seriously its mission to gather all available facts and information relevant to whatever pre-9/11 activities might have impacted the tragedy.” Information culled by Able Danger’s analysts, including LTC Shaffer and Captain Scott Philpott, would appear to qualify.

Despite having interviewed both Shaffer and Philpott (at their initiation) and being told that “a secret military program was authorized by the previous Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Hugh Shelton, and assigned to Special Operations Command (SOCOM) under the leadership of General Peter Schoomaker, for the specific purpose of defeating transnational terrorist threats, specifically al-Qa’ida,” the Commission and its staff never undertook any investigation.

“In two months, my limited staff has done what 80 staffers at the Commission and $15 million failed to do,” says Weldon in his letter to Specter and Leahy. “In fact, when the New York Times broke this story in early August of this year, the 9/11 Commission was put in the uncomfortable position of having each of its successively evolving responses rebutted by newly emerging facts. Each time the Commission changed its story, it brought further discredit upon its work.”

The best-selling 9/11 Commission Report never mentions Able Danger’s existence, activities, or findings."

New Skirmish in War Over 9/11 Information

God bless you both, Curt Weldon and Col. Shaffer

What would Mr. Smith do?

[anita]

If moveon.org or al jazeera runs anti-american commercial, the MSM will give even more coverage.

When Iraqi Kurds Campaign Thanks U.S. for Liberation and runs a commercial, MSM just ignores as it is not anti-Bush or anti-military.

[MNJohnnie]

Says this administration looked at the available reports and decided that Iraq was a threat..Rockefeller wants to say the Bush admin"cherry picked" the intelligence..(

Senator Rockefeller, why did Bill Clinton and Senate Democrats use the SAME intelligence in 1998, that Bush supposedly "cherry picked" in 2003, to justify the Democrats bombing Iraq during Clinton's Impeachment? Yes Senator we SHOULD have a Congressional Investigation into the IRAQ WMD intelligence Bush inherited from the Democrat administration.

[TomGuy]

How many YEARS has it been since clinton promised the troops he sent to Bosnia would be home in one year?

No. You are wrong. He said they would be home by Christmas. [Of course, one had to understand Clinton-speak; he didn't say Christmas of what year. lol. Remember, with Clinton one had to be specific. With Clinton the technique was 'parsing'; with Kerry is was 'nuancing'; with most other people it is 'shading the truth'.]

"I cant tell individual democrats what to do..."


But Dean sure as hell tells our President what to do!

The woman failed to blow herself up at the Radisson SAS hotel after apparently struggling with the cord on her explosives belt, Deputy Prime Minister Marwan Muasher said. Her husband saw her fumbling and "pushed her out of the ballroom," he said. "Once she was out, he blew himself up."

It was unclear where police arrested the woman. Officials said she would confess on state-run TV later Sunday.

Thought you would like to see a photo of Mrs T from this morning's Remembrance Service at the Cenotaph

Britain's former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, left, arrives to a Remembrance Day ceremony to pay tribute to the war dead of Britain and the 54-nation Commonwealth at the Cenotaph in London's Whitehall, Sunday Nov. 13, 2005. The service is held on the nearest Sunday to the anniversary of the end of World War I on Nov. 11, 1918, and also honors those killed in subsequent conflicts, including almost 100 who have died in Iraq since the March 2003 invasion.

Why are we not surprised that Timmy has Mehlman on first??? Dean gets the chance to bloviate to his heart's content .. you're SO predictable, TR.

[Mo1]

Funny how no one in the Dinasour Media ever brings up how Ohio overwhelmingly rejected the Moveon.org "get even with them for 2004" ballot initiative campaign

This is what you call selective reporting

It's up there with the Libs selective memory

[samantha]

Juan has no idea what he is talking about, he is never right about anything. the dems do not have a domestic Agenda, or any kind of Agenda except trash the Republicans, George Bush,The War and Conservatives. Their agenda is called Go Negative all the time, and consort with the enemy the MSM which in reality is the same thing. We know it is not the Democrats and the MSM it is the DNC/MSM. Just listen to Russert, if you can stand to. I would love to see Rush slam the hell out of Russert instead of just beat him with a feather. Russsert and all the Media lefties are grabbing those DNC faxes at a breakneck rate.

"The king condemned the recent terrorist acts in his country and insisted that al Zarqawi be brought to justice."

King Abdul is at best a hypocrite, and at worst, and most likely, personally implicated in the islamic terrorism.
He comes 4 years, 2 months and a day too late to his condemnation of terrorism.

And oh by the way: he didn't condemn all terrorism, just terrorism directed toward Jordanians.
I'm guessing you wouldn't have heard a word from him if the victims had been mostly Americans!

[rodguy911]

"a lot of Senators that are stuck on stupid"

No fair samanthana that's two keyboards this week alone!!


Just watched Ken Mehlman chew up fat tim again,( a lot to eat there as well)
Howie Howard has a "new" dem talking point he's trying on Tim now--Bush lied! Bush lied! Did not have the patience to watch the rest of the interview, so bogus.

[MEG33]

He sounded like my 13 yr. old spinning after being caught in a lie

I enjoyed every minute Wallace kept the heat on him
