BOLTON HEARING LIVE ON C-SPAN 3

[Mo1]

How do those people keep getting in there ... grrrrr

[Bahbah]

What does that have to do with the UN job??

Nothing. I think kabar has this figured out.

[Peach]

OT: Abbas says release of Israeli soldier could be imminent. Israel says they don't have that information.

[JFC]

How do those people keep getting in there ... grrrrr


My guess is they are invited by the libs who give them a pass. Security is a joke!

[Peach]

Dodd: This is the most significant issue. Attempting to pressure analysts and our intel agencies to conform with a particular point of view.

(Doesn't Dodd know this has been looked into and the bipartisan committee said that didn't happen?)

[Right_in_Virginia]

I wonder if these hearings weren't public if any Senator would attend.

[Txsleuth]

It was interrupted 2 times already by protestors...LOL

Linc Chafee grilled Bolton about what the cause of the Middle East problems are...and was also VERY worried that there would be no Palestinian state for some reason.

Allen, asked grown up questions about where we go from here in Lebanon.

Now, Dodd...

You really haven't missed too much.

[Clock King]

He's so deeply concerned. What a ....

[Carolinamom]

Upthread it was reported that Rep. Major Owens supplied the tickets....staffers now denying that they didn't know....HA

[NYleatherneck]

douche... the word that you are looking for is douche.

[JFC]

Dodd is fixen to lose it.

[Carolinamom]

oops ...double negative..

[Skywarner]

"Sounds like the administration wouldn't give Dodd or the Committee access to the information. "

Good! I'd just assume trust the GEICO gecko or the AFLAC duck before I trusted virtually any Dim with any single iota or speck of information, no matter how inconsequential, including my shoe size. As the saying goes, 'loose lips sink ships.'

[Peach]

Dodd saying that Bolton lied about how much conversation he had with a Mr. Smith. E-mails said "John doesn't want this to slip any further."

I asked if you stood by your testimony.

Bolton: I haven't gone back over the materials from 15 mos. ago - those letters were never sent because I didn't want to do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dodd: Didn't want to do what?

Bolton: Seek his removal. It disturbed me that people promulgate falsehoods and that's what he did. I think I testified an opinion that he felt strongly about because...

Dodd: Did you draft or staff draft the letters?

Bolton: Staff.

Dodd: Did you review the letters?

Bolton: Of course and that's why they were never sent.

hahahahahahahahahaha

[Txsleuth]

I do know that Dodd is especially "interested" in Cuba...does his worry about what may be discovered have anything to do with that, do you think?

[McGavin999]

Dudd just got stomped into the ground.....very diplomatically of course :o)

[Mo1]

I think some of Dodd's staffers are involved

He has a staffer by the name of Janice O'Connell .. she is a big Castro fan

IIRC she was behind the blocking of a few appointments

[ohioWfan]

(Doesn't Dodd know this has been looked into and the bipartisan committee said that didn't happen?)

Of course he does. But when did the truth matter to the likes of Dodd.........or any RAT, come to think of it?

[FreedomNeocon]

Sounds like "Mr Smith" is another clintonoid like McCarthy who was out 'freelancing' and telling people things contrary to the department (Bolton says promulgating falsehoods)

[Peach]

I'm grinning -- that was a beautiful exchange. Just beautiful.

Dodd got NOWHERE.
