House Panel Grills Rumsfeld Over Tillman Death (Before 1st question media reports "grilling")

Fox News ^ | 8/1/2007 | AP

Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., charged that unanswered questions surrounding Tillman's death reach into the highest ranks of the Pentagon and beyond.

But not including Democrat political hacks like Waxman.

"Grill away", Mr. Waxman...

These Democrats are such jerks!! Buffoons!! sheesh.

They will get nothing new, nothing important, nothing period that they don't already know. What a waste of time and air.

I sorta miss Rummy! ;)

[pissant]

Can Hunter just beat the crap out of Waxman and call it a day?

There’s been now 2 questions of Rumsfeld but no questions prior to the headlines, just a bunch of speeches.

Rumsfeld can handle himself against the ball less wonders of Congress.

[tobyhill]

LOL, they’re having a tailgate party, that’s what they meant.

and took no personal responsibility Wednesday for the military's bungled response

First sentence. It sure didnt take long for the biased words to kick in.

[tioga]

You are right, I’d better go turn it on and watch.......when Rummy gets going things get interesting. I’d love to see him take pot shots at Senators like he did at his pressers. A classy guy who takes no prisoners.

[tobyhill]

The editors are having a field day with this non-story. Their punching bag is back for a day.

[Doctor Raoul]

Former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld defended himself and took no personal responsibility Wednesday for the military's bungled response to Army Ranger Pat Tillman's friendly-fire death in Afghanistan.

The wording is an implication that Rumsfeld does bear some personal responsibility and denys it. He'd have to be aware that it was friendly fire for the basis for the reporter's account to be credible. As it's Associated Press, such poor journalism doesn't surprise me.

Another example of media bias.

TV deprived - please, keep us updated.

Go, Rummy!!!!

[Loyal Buckeye]

agreed

[Badeye]

Former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld defended himself and took no personal responsibility Wednesday for the military’s bungled response to Army Ranger Pat Tillman’s friendly-fire death in Afghanistan.

There are only two relevant facts in this matter.

1. Pat Tillman stood upright in a firefight, and screamed ‘Stop shooting, its Pat F’in Tillman!’ at which point he was shot by friendly fire.

2. The Chain of Command made a series of stupid decisions regarding Tillman’s death, and should be punished accordingly.

Rumsfeld had nothing to do with it.

New Fox News lead up to the “grilling”.
“Rumsfeld: I Knew Nothing About How Tillman Died”

[wastedyears]

Mmmmm, BBQ and beer *drools*

[jaydubya2]

This is equivalent to the Plame CIA Non-Case.

[in hoc signo vinces]

Jeeeezzz...I would love to be able to “grill” Congress. I have a few questions I would like to ask ole Reid, Pelosi, Murtha...etc...

[tobyhill]

The stupid ghetto reps think they’re smarter than Rummy and are about to get their asses handed to them.
