[Alas Babylon!]

Given your last media nugget, I suppose Russert has on Woodward to tell us all how evil Saddam thought Dubya was to invade his poor little country based on a lie.

No kidding, Woodward loves to "quote" dead men, since the can't refute what he has them say.

[Miss Marple]

OK...I will switch over and see what Lugar has to say. I bet I will get aggravated within the firts 5 minutes.

[Morgan in Denver]

Believe me, if there were a way to send you the desired cold front from Denver, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

[Miss Marple]

Fox News Sunday starts with a repeat of the report from Greg Palcott on Saddam's execution that I heard earlier on Fox and Friends.

Body was flown by US to the village where he was born.

[Mo1]

Happy New Year, Alas Babylon!

[Chuck54]

OMG, looks like Timmy has joined a conspiracy crew! Asks are you sure(some reporter in Bagdhad) that is Saddam in that casket.....

Wow, moonbat city already on MTP>

One of the best web sites I checked last night was Atlas Shruggs. In one of their topics the sub head is "Students live as Muslims for 30 days." I am sick of trying to understand the muzzies, it's time they understood us.

Anyway Atlasshrugs had lots of great topics today,they include:

1. Great take on Saddam's hanging.
2. Some great links to those appeasers of Saddams hanging,look under blood thirsty dictator.
3.Hezbo-pay-per-slay--where the hezzies are getting paid thousands of bucks for successful rocket launches into Israel.
4.UK--Dirty hands--Muzzies refuse to wash their hands in hopsitals due to "alcohol" content in the hand wash(major bs alert here).
5. Students live as muzzies for 30 days.
6. Holy Shia--Babs Boxer recinds cair award:flying pigs moment!!
7. Assad pimps out Spectre(senility at work again?)
Its all here:

[Miss Marple]

Lugar agrees that the Shias need to reach out to the Sunnis. Lugar says the Sunnis need their share of the oil and that this needs a political solution. He has limited confidence in the ability of Iraq to stand alone without help from surrounding countries.

Lugar says Maliki is under great pressure from the militias, and that we need to not give him arbotrary deadlines.

Diplomacy is important.

[Bahbah]

Oh, good grief. Timmy is using Ford's death to relive Watergate.

[Miss Marple]

Lugar says we need to think about stability in the region. Lugar says he doesn't know whether he supports a surge in troops or not. Says asministration needs to take Congress seriously, and lately they have not. (Miss Marple agrees with the President...I don't take them seriously, either.)

[Chuck54]

Wanna bet Tim doesn't use Brokaw's statement about Nixon, "in the bunker" to equate with President Bush at this time?

Odds are he will tie it in.

[Miss Marple]

Lugar wants a STUDY by Congress with meetings with the President BEFORE he addresses the nation. Says if he doesn't do this he can anticipate endless hearings.

Talks about enlisting Congress help before proceeding.

Lugar is living in lalaland. Like there won't be hearings anyway.

[Bahbah]

The reliving of Watergate is becoming orgiastic. Timmy is so excited he can hardly contain himself. This is really hard to watch.

[Miss Marple]

I am seriously aggravated with Lugar, who seems not to know the rules of engagement, who the enemy is, etc. Says he hasn't been "informed."

[Alas Babylon!]

Lugar should shut up and support the President. What party are they both in?

There is nothing unsound in the request that the President has asked for, since it comes from the Generals in the field. Lugar is not in a position to question their judgement on the matter. Those that are are simply playing politics with the issue.

"Dick, the dems don't need any help attacking the administration. Your 'attempts' to sound fair have made you a laughingstock."

[Mo1]

I can't stand Lugar .. he gets on my every last nerve

[AnnGora]

Fools' names like fools' faces...

[Morgan in Denver]

Thanks anita!

Well... well... well...

If ABC.com is going to have Hugh Hewitt, I'll watch or read it. The other people could very well increase ratings for the programs they are on. Hewitt wrote about this a bit ago, IIRC.

[Mo1]

If I hear one more time "the violence will stop when the Iraqis step up to the plate and take responsibility" I'm going to scream

[maica]

Says he hasn't been "informed."

&&&&

His staff must be on vacation.

What a totally stupid thing to say on camera. Perhaps this is an example of why Chuckie, Dick, Harry and Nancy are so giddy. They know how clueless our Republicans on the Capitol really are, and they are anticipating a free ride for the next two years to do whatever they will.
