Watching Steffi, who can’t lay a glove on Secretary Gates.

Steffi plays soundbites of Sen Clinton and of Sen Reed. I guess that should be called contributions in kind to their campaigns.

[jmyrlefuller]

Schieffer declares the war unwinnable but at least admits that us leaving could cause problems... then brings up the Iranian perspective.

The last couple of questions have been pretty good, surprisingly.

Levin says that a diplomatic resolution will do the trick. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Ahmedinejad and his minions will surely be deterred by a piece of paper.

The Dinosaur Press is the Audio version of the DNC website.

Pray for W and Our Troops

[jmyrlefuller]

John Kyl now on FTN. Schieffer now brings out the quote barrage.

[snugs]

Oh dear do you know what happened and is it OK now.

[jmyrlefuller]

Sheesh, as Ingraham would say, Schieffer is being quite the “but monkey” right now.

[Bahbah]

I simply cannot believe Juan Williams today. Downright untruthful. I have thought in the past that he was merely easily confused. Now I think he is a liar.

I really am disappointed. I did not think he was a bad person.

I am very glad that Brit did not allow his false statements to stand.

[anita]

They should be ashamed of themselves, especially after seeing Parents like these, whom the President mentioned in his speech..

[snugs]

Very telling and John Edwards let his wife do it for him was not prepared to do it himself so he can always privately say to Moveon that she said it off her own back but of course it appears by her saying it that he is against the ad (which he probably is). Clever by the Edwards camp IMHO they have appeased both wings of the party with this one.

[maica]

Just detected a new phrase on steffi’s show: “former Army Ranger Senator Jack Reed”.

Methinks this will become all one word whenever Reed is on air discussing quitting Iraq.

[jmyrlefuller]

Kyl duly notes that the lower levels of Iraqi government seem to be working very well. He’s holding his own very well; says that a long-term presence in Iraq is actually in America’s best interest.

[Bahbah]

Yes, snugs. Something, a stray eyelash perhaps, got firmly lodged and it took all night for it to work its way out. I am fine, and I thank you for your concern.

Here's a few bits and pieces from Txradioguy's link:

Early on the morning of Nov.16, on a routine combat mission Capt David Anderson flew under the call sign of Hound72.next to flight leader Sweeney....

"By the time we arrived on station the Army platoon that needed support had been in continuous contact with the enemy for 40 hours," said Anderson...

"We were flying at 12,000 feet when our radios exploded with the sound of Brewmaster 46(on the ground fighting) screaming that they (Army ground troops) were under attack...and pinned down

" Anderson executed a 4th low pass of the target area in an attempt to gain sight of the enemy. Flying over the target area at 300 feet at 500 knots, he was able to catch sight of both US troops and insurgents just meters apart."...

..."In three successive strafe passes,I fired all 510 rounds in my gun, silencing the enemy positions.

Brewmaster 46 said in later conversations he was so close to the enemy that as my high explosive 20 MM rounds impacted, he was showered by dirt and debris."...

Six enemy were killed just before they set up a 60 MM mortar with 8 rounds to fire at our guys... The distinguished flying cross was awarded to pilot David Anderson...

[Fawn]

That was great! Rush played that clip Thursday or Friday....

[rodguy911]

It was,no question.

[Darth Republican]

It’s interesting how some Dems in congress condemned the ad but none of their Presidential candidates have.

The sad result of a lack of testosterone on the part of them... though I wonder about Hillary's levels.

[jmyrlefuller]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Edwards, who has pandered specifically to these types of special interest groups, actually supports the Petraeus ad and for the sake of “truth in advertising,” instead sent out his wife to denounce it so that he can say “well, I don’t speak for my wife when she says that sort of thing.”

[rodguy911]

Way to go HC!! Great job!!

[jmyrlefuller]

Tom Ricks of the Post up on FTN.

I may have to switch over to TW, I’m not sure I’ll be able to last through all the hot air...

[rodguy911]

Yeah,not sure if we can actually prove it was them however.
