On MTP, part of the George Tenet book tour, host Tim Russert asked the former DCI about aluminum tubes.
Chris Dodd was Chris Wallace's first guest on FNS, and Dodd declared the "American public" wanted to get out of Iraq like Russ Feingold. He said that his Carbon Tax would be easier to foist on the "American public" because it applies to them more indirectly than Tom Friedman's proposed gasoline tax.
Next on FNS, John Boehner supported benchmarks as a means to ensure success in Iraq. He said that he does not support them as a way to ensure failure.
On TW, John Edwards said that while he opposes the genocide in Darfur, we shouldn't send troops there; likewise, we should not send troops back to Iraq to stop that genocide once we leave. Edwards said that he hasn't been to Iraq because civilians can't go there.
On FTN, New Gingrich said that if Sarkozy wins the French election, Republicans should take a hint from the French for the next election and run against the current Washington order. Chuck Rangel came on a few minutes later and said, basically, that the "American public" has embraced Russ Feingold and demanded that the Democrats get us out of Iraq by any means necessary. He's been partying with Jack Murtha.
On LE, Wolf Blitzer talked to three ambassadors to the United States: from Iraq, from Syria, and from Egypt. Most interesting, I thought, was Syrian Ambassador Imad Moustapha, who says that his country has the same goals in Iraq as does the United States and that we all should work together to end the violence in Iraq. He did not mention stopping foreign terrorists from entering Iraq from Syria.
Wolf next spoke with George Tenet, still hawking his book. I offer a bit of a tongue-twister in honor of his appearance on LE.
The show-by-show review is beneath the fold…
