The Talk Shows
Sunday, January 14th, 2007
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Vice President Dick Cheney.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): National security adviser Stephen Hadley; Sens. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., and Chuck Hagel, R-Neb.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Barack Obama, D-Ill.
THIS WEEK (ABC): National security adviser Stephen Hadley; Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa.; California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
LATE EDITION (CNN) : Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari; Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Carl Levin, D-Mich., and John Kerry, D-Mass.; Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz; retired Gen. Richard Myers, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
He is obnoxious in his self-importance, and he is a perfect symptom of why this country is in deep trouble.
I am watching him now. He's been excellent. I think my favorite line was when asked whether he was concerned about losing Republican support for the surge and he was shown Hagel's despicable statement, the VP replied, "We haven't had Hagel (on our side) for quite some time." No kidding!
Lieberman was asked his strategy...and Joe said there is just two.
One you play to win...two you lose.
Juan is bound to be just a bit sore by now!
less than 8 1/2 hours until Jack Bauer graces t.v screens everywhere and the kid gloves come off.!!
Here's a glimpse of what we looked at this week on the January 2007 Edition of THE THREAT MATRIX on FreeRepublic.com.

What I saw of Lieberman, he was excellent (I can't watch much of Fat Tim's show because he literally makes me sick). But Joe was so well spoken on this issue that I stayed and watched for a while. After Joe, Hagel made a statement saying he was insulted by what Joe had to say. I wish that Joe had had an opportunity, that not only was he (Joe) insuslted by what Hagel said, but every military active duty individual would be insulted as well. Hagel is stuck in Viet Nam, he can't get beyond it, and as a result he doesn't understand what retreat will mean. Hagel and Dodd are insulting as is Fat Tim. I didn't get to see much of what Kyl said, but from what I have read here, he was superb as well.
Meet the Press was the only show they had on here.
All of the other Sunday shows were pre-empted by local weather news about the ice storm.

I agree. He has been woefully under-utilized. Winning the propaganda war is half the battle and he is such a valuable asset.
Freeper Snugs asked how many people would have actually listened to the VP. Well, if winning the war necessitates our ability to sustain the American people's will to win, then I actually think he SHOULD go on shows like Oprah. How can it hurt? Just the fact that he goes on her show would be widely covered and his message would be conveyed to that many more Americans who normally tune him out.
Okay...per Sen. Gordon Smith, just now.
He opposes Bush's plan to add troops because "it is too little, too late...but what needs to emerge is a way to make sure that al-queda and other enemies in the war on terror do not spread and are defeated"...
I am paraphrasing but the MAIN JIST is....adding American troops to Iraq now, it NOT a good idea, too little, too LATE...but we cannon leave Iraq until we have gotten rid of all of al-queda and all of the insurgents and anyone else that wants to hurt us!!!
Can any of you explain his logic to me???
He is a US Senator...he HAS to be much smarter than a grandmother in Texas doesn't he???
Great post, we learn a lot from what is not show by the DBM.

Someone needs to remind Gordon Smith that we never left Germany or Japan or Korea until the job was done. Apparently the job still isn't done there either.

That's what I always say...we won that war in weeks.
If you recall, the naysayers were saying it would be impossible to do.
Ever since then, it's been a peacekeeping/nation building operation.
And not that costly, either. We have to maintain a military force, build weapons, do training, all that stuff, especially now with the terrorist threat. All that would probably cost almost as much as we are spending.
All that being said, we need to get cracking on winning this war. Even us warmongers are getting antsy.
Yeah, Russert.
The nasty hunch to the 'let's do lunch' in one easy guest switch.
No, he doesn't have to be smarter, he just has to be richer. These people who say we need to defeat the enemy, and then don't understand sending in additional troops to do just that, just don't get it. Smith is up for reelection in 08, and I attribute his position to that situation, rather than looking at things in perspective and what is best for the country, Smith is commenting on what is best for him.
I remember all of this and more. How we could never win in Afghanistan, body bags galore, refugees trying to escape. I even remember how we set up refugee camps at the border, and nobody came.
The press has been wrong on so much, and yet we don't make sure everyone remembers it.
