Hi, Phsstpok. Thanks for all the hard work and analysis. I'll be sure to watch MTP with Dick Cheney this Sunday and will read more carefully what you have had to say here when I'm more alert tomorrow morning.

Thank you Phsstpok...for yet again a stellar preview thread.
I am a bit saddened though..to NOT see Biden, McCain, Levin, Lugar on any of these shows....too bad...LOL
I watched a little bit of Chrissy Matthews tonight...and he played a clip of Dick "CHEENEY" (how Chrissy pronounces his name) saying that he NEVER said something...then a clip of him saying it about 3 years ago on Meet the Press...
I just sighed...but, when I saw on you report that Cheney will be on Meet the Press...I sighed again...because I KNOW now, that Chrissy just set up the shot for Fat Timmah, and Timmah can slam dunk that soundbite right into Cheney's face on Sunday.
It is gonna be ugly....because I bet Fat Timmah and Chrissy have had their peons toiling over video tape for weeks looking for more "gotcha" moments.

What, ....nothing about Fitzze and Plame and Wilson....?
Armitage feels bad and apologizes....
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Actually Schumer should be grilled about it...because there never would have been this three year sham, if he hadn't pushed for it...
But, since I tend to think that this was a set up to begin with...I am sure he was "told" to push for an investigation...however, I don't hold out much hope that it will be brought up this Sunday..
I think the show hosts will be trying too hard to take any credit away from Bush re: his handling on 9/11...

Amazing isn't it. President gave a really hammer stoke of a speech this week. Notice the topic has all ready been dropped by the Junk Media? Instead, they, like the Conservative Talking heads, will spend all their time on the manufactured hysteria about the "Path to 911"
If we want to know why the Conservative message is having such a hard time being heard, we can look in the mirror for the source of the problem. Simply amazing how the Conservative Media allows itself to be spun time and time again by the Democrat establishment.

Great job this week Phsstpok. Can't wait until the shows, doesn't get any better than Condi or Cheney, two of the best.
The 911 tapes better be the topic on most shows otherwise we can tell the fix is in.

The rats have really exposed themselves this time with their communist manifesto they issued on how they view free speech for the Disney corp. We need to hold their feet to the fire forever on this one.

Document: Iraqi Intelligence met with Bin Laden in 1995 (Re-Post For A Reminder)
Pentagon/FMSO website for Iraq Pre-war documents http://70.168.46.200/ ^ | September 8 2006 | jveritas
Posted on 09/08/2006 1:21:59 PM CDT by jveritas
The Translation below was posted on FR on March 21 2006 but in the light of the Senate intelligence report that said no connection between Saddam and Al Qaeda it worth publish it again, of course if the Admin Moderator allows it.
Document: Iraqi Intelligence met with Bin Laden in 1995 (Translation)
Pentagon/FMSO website about Iraq Pre-War Documents ^ | March 21 2006 | jveritas
Posted on 03/21/2006 3:18:32 PM PST by jveritas
In the Pentagon/FMSO document http://70.168.46.200/released/03-20-06/ISGZ-2004-009247.pdf there is a clear report about the relation between Iraq and Bin Laden that dated back to 1995. This document contains a 9 page report from the Iraqi Intelligence Apparatus and it is titled The Saudi Opposition and Achieving the Relation and Contact With Them. In the report they talk about there meeting with Osama Bin Laden and that Bin Laden in 1995 and how to establish relations with him. In the meeting Bin Laden asked the Iraqis for joint operations with them against the Foreign forces (US military) in the land of Hijaz (Saudia or Saudi Arabia).
I did a partial translation of the report that is related to Osama Bin Laden
