MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright; Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa.; Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.
THIS WEEK (ABC): Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq; Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del.; Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt.
LATE EDITION (CNN) : Khalilzad; Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz.
So Murtha's aide told you he believes we deserved the Somalia disaster because "they didn't want us there?".....just like the Iraqis don't want us there?
my mind hurts just trying to process that logic.....kabar where is your list of 9/11; London; Bali; The USS Cole, etc......I think we need to get a written response from Mr. Murtha's aide on why the whole damn world deserves these terror actions!
I agree, it astounds me that so much that I read here (well documented, provable) isn't picked up by our "leaders". I am afraid that overall the quality of washington leadership is not very good, Republicans included.
Charles Duelfer said he can't rule out the possibility that Iraq's WMD were secretly shipped to Syria before 3/03 citing sufficient credible evidence that the WMD were moved.
Duelfer made the findings in an addendum to his final report last year.
It was well known that Syria was a major conduit for obtaining UN-banned materials for Iraq. Several senior US officials have seen intelligence which shows it is likely that Iraq's WMD went to Syria.
Retired Marine Lt. Gen. Michael DeLong, the dputy commander of CentCom, wrote in his book "Inside CentCom" that intelligence reports pointed to WMD movement into Syria.
John Shaw, then the deputy undersecretary of defense for international technology security, told The Times in October 2004 that Russian special forces and intelligence troops worked with Saddam's intel services to move WMD to Syria.
Before changing his mind again (ala John Kerry), David Kay, the UN weapons inspector, told Tom Brokaw in July 2003 that based on millions of pages of internal Iraqi government documents recovered from Saddam's regime, he was convinced that Iraq had WMD which were taken out of the country before the war. Among the documents which have been translated:
- corresponsence between various Iraqi organizations giving instructions on how to hide WMD;
- chemical agent purchase orders dated 12/01;
- WMD protection suits and instructions on how to hide chemicals;
- ricin research; and
- a memo from the Iraqi Intelligence Service on how to hid information from a UN inspection team.
Bill Clinton, perhaps remembering his own rhetoric about the danger that Iraq's WMD program posed to not just the region but the United States, said in a July 2003 interview on Larry Kind that "it is incontestable that on the day I left office, there was a substantial amount of biological and chemical material unaccounted for" in Iraq.
In June 2004, UNMOVIC's executive Chairman, Demetrius Perricos, detailed the exprt of thousands of tons of missile components, nuclear reactor vessels and formentors for WMD warheads and the discovery of some of these items, with UN inspection tags still on them, as far away as Turkey, Holland and Jordan.
And, I still want to know. Since the majority of the Congressional leadership did not review the intelligence information prepared by the CIA at the Democrat's request, how can they make a considered judgement that the intelligence was flawed or manipulated?
They kept saying that treating prisoners "nice" protects our soldiers who are taken prisoner. Are they f'ing serious? When have our enemies ever adhered to "rules" during war? PLEASE respond if I'm missing something here...
Russert has lost a lot of stature, imo, especially since he started having Maureen Dowd on the panel. That's tantamount to having Ann Coulter on a panel which is supposed to be taken seriously.
I like Ann and her articles often make me laugh. But she's not exactly a serious political commentator.
Of course! IF you'll vote for them, the Democrats will make sure you win the lottery. For that matter, it will be proof they ARE the lottery.
At least we know when we're forgetting something -- it's when we don't know that we don't know. LOL
Whoa! That's higher than I'd remembered. Thanks for that important information.
Exactly why I like Rumsfeld's telling all reporters he's taping their interview, and will have it available in total on the DOD web site. Sure changes the reporters attitudes and questions once they realize they themselves will be exposed if they try to misreport or change meanings.
Associated Press (!) doing a fact checking about a story it reported earlier and found out that the alleged nightmares are not real.
Chris Mathews was shouting it for 2 days.
Well, maybe my and other emails have finally gotten Foxes attention. Today I was able to watch the whole program. No more stabbing at the Republicans, the war on terror or Rove coming indictments (which is an absolute sham). The loyal viewers of FoxNews Sunday, if offended as I have been, have been exiting in large numbers. In fact, I was moving to stop even recording this program. I'll not stop, and if coming programs continue as this one was today, I'll keep watching.
I can't wait for the live thread; will try to participate.
I honestly think one of those loony left DemocRATS should sponsor a bill doing away with that actual election and just run a poll (controlled of course by the bosom buddies in the MSM). See how they would be laughed out of congress!
for sure.
It was closer to 60%.
Nothing a dem says surprises me. But the problem lies in the fact that other idjits pick up their kooky comments and repeat them every where. Did you ever listen to CSPIN.....good grief!
