December 6, 2006

[Howlin]

Live on cable now...

[BTCM]

Rule by committee is being demonstrated. Is there one person in this crowd whom could not have predicted the outcome of this crap report? Nancy Reagan never trusted Baker and now I can clearly see why.

[dirtboy]

Baker says .. their report is the ONLY bipartisan report out there

To sane people, that is a bad thing. Unfortunately, sanity is in short supply nowadays.

They are talking a bit about a united America---IMHO the war is over in a New York minute if the rats would support the President 100%

[Eagle of Liberty]

Who was responsible for appointing them?

What qualifies them for making these decisions?

Why should their report be taking seriously?

To the lasy ass ADD Americans when it comes to politics, it only matters that a Committee was formed. You mention that special word "Committee" and a lot of Americans get a warm, fuzzy feeling.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Apparently you do not understand the nature of the war in Iraq.

[Miss Marple]

I am teetering on bitterness.

Do I see that loser Perry on that commission?

[firewalk]

another circus...

[Dog]

Don't blame McCain....this dog and pony show is before to you by the inside the beltway cocktail curcuit....all important people don't you know.

Sarcasm.

[Snoopers-868th]

I can't help but think of the parents of the kids lost. What must they think of this soft approach NOW? Cindy must be smiling.

That's what he just said. The whole goal of this "committee" is to embarrass this President and I hope he doesn't bite.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

I wonder about morale.

In the immortal words of that famous combat veteran, John Kerry, "Who wants to be the last man to die for a mistake"?

What does the crap we're hearing today say to those who have been or shortly will be deployed to Iraq?

Risk your life in defense of freedom, unless the home front gets queasy watching the evening news. Then we'll just make deals with people behind the ones that shoot at you, and we'll bring you home in disgrace.

Maybe this time around, nobody in uniform will get spit on and called a babykiller.

You know, we could have a lot of e-mail fun this holiday season if we make up a chart depicting all the participants in this study group and their areas of expertise...

[Mo1]

Not sure .. But I remember hearing something like that

[Dog]

I'm past that stage...

[Right_in_Virginia]

I want to know why O'Connor's on the commission.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

I feel like we have lost our country.

We're in the process of losing it. It's happening right before our eyes.

Five years ago, I couldn't have imagined this. I knew we'd gotten fat, dumb and happy... but I never realized how weak this nation really was.

[LadyBuzz]

YES - that was Perry - this is a sad day for our country & half don't even realize it

[SJackson]

Nice to hear they consciously left the world Victory, or synonyms like win out of the report. It's such an inflammatory word.

[Howlin]

Who said that?

Do you get the feeling they are going around the president?


How can they stand up there and make all these statements without anybody from the military being up there to say what the facts are?
