The Talk Shows
Sunday, December 10th, 2006
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Former Secretary of State James A. Baker III and former Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., co-chairmen of the Iraq Study Group; Sens. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., and Sam Brownback, R-Kan.; composer Marvin Hamlisch.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Baker and Hamilton.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Baker and Hamilton; Sens. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and Trent Lott, R-Miss.

LATE EDITION (CNN) : Baker and Hamilton; Reps. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., and Jane Harman, D-Calif.; Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, leader of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution of Iraq; Israeli Vice Prime Minister Shimon Peres.
Does Baker et al not know that even if Syria and Iran promised cooperation in quailing the Iraqi insurgents that Islams believe that it's okay...even desirable...to lie to infidels (aka non-Muslims)?
Correct
I keep praying we will find a good candidate for 08
Because so far this election is reminding me of 96
The man is a national treasure!
Thanks
Thanks, Bah. I am on amoxiycillin (sp?) which makes me sick to my stomach. Use the Flonase at night and a couple of prescription pills for cough and self-loathing, I think, as I haven't showered since Thursday.
Senator Brownnose ..... oh, Brownback, ......ooops, BARF ALERT .
Brownback (on the Iraq Slowly Surrender Group), "We have a real chance to RESET THE DYNAMIC."
How damn heavy was that silly phrase? "RESET THE DYNAMIC"! What a pile of manure.
My Lord ................... I know silly men who buy those little pills to try to "reset a dynamic".
Is this country going nuts or what? "Reset the dynamic????
Trent Lott: I agree with a little bit of what everybody has said about Iraq.
Good, Lott---that is just what we need, a clear message.
Yea, it is a Klinton Dictionary .. don't like the true meaning of a word .. then just make it up and redefine it
The Economist editorial quite correctly points out that by setting some arbitrary date for a pullout gives us less leverage, not more in getting the Iraqis to act the way we want. "Do what we say or we go (but we're going anyway."
I notice that the Dems and many other critics of the war are tempering their remarks now that they have achieved their domestic political agenda. An American pullout would cause chaos in the region and have a serious impact on the global economy. It may not be all about oil, but the uninterrupted frow of oil from the region is vital to the global economy.
".......when pundits, etc refuse to acknowledge that Iraq is the key to the entire situation."
Don't give up hope just yet........
Unless the dims want to go on record as the biggest political self-immolation since the Vichy French, they're going to drop the ISD and the screaming moonbats like a bad habit just as soon as they can think up a decent excuse.
Nobody's run any polls on it (they're afraid to, IMHO), but my little circles of friends haven't been this generally PO'd and getting worse every time they hear another DBM talking point since I can recall.
If the only objective of the ISD was to unite and mobilize people on the right, they hit a d*** home run.
Nothing could be clearer...
Levin: Pres. Bush has got to change his message, re: an open ended promise to stay in Iraq. He MUST do that now.
Lott: I think I agree with that...ugh
ROFL
Right, this President is incapable of making tough decisions. /s/
What a despicable thing for Baker to say.
New tagline
Levin: We should talk to Iran and Syria..but, we shouldn't expect them to help us.
Levin: One thing we shouldn't do, is wait to fix the Israeli/Palestinian problem before we take care of Iraq.
Scheiffer: Do you think that the President is listening to everyone that has ideas.
Lott: Well of course he does.
End of interview.
Hubby just had a breakfast of poached eggs on toast. Oh, his favorite breakfast of all time!
Why doesn't Lott respond by saying the UN Security Council, just within the last two weeks, voted to continue the Coalition presence in Iraq, at the request of the Iraqi government? Why is this never ever brought up? Or did I dream this? I thought I read about it, but can't recall the source. Does anyone have any info on this???
