Geez, I just finished up listening to Begala (where the hell has he been) anyway, I thought I was going to vomit. Geez, Bush lied was his mantra...... Clinton apparently never said anything about Iraq, Clinton thought Saddam was “cool”/ sarcasm.

Axelrod was on an hour after the speech with LKL and when Axelrod is on TV, it’s for damage control purposes.

Hey I just saw Gergling on CNN about to punch out their token terrorist muzzie guy! Even he is getting it. Begala looks like a Chicken with a too big Egg.

How about that weasel Fahreed Zakaria? Never giving Gergin time to respond to anything. i don’t like Gergin but he was getting obviously annoyed with Zakaria. Zakaria was doing his little worm impersonation with his lips curled back, quiet voice, and just cutting in on Gergin on anything he said and saying it was not correct.

What the HELL does CNN have that little pipsqueek on for other than Zakaria’s old man was a big shot in that god forsaken part of the world.

Obama is just plain stupid. He didn't even have a role in the Status Of Forces Agreement but claims he fulfilled his campaign promise. He made a promise for something that had already been agreed on by someone else.

Clinton only bombs countries when there is a whore involved and he is trying to cover his ass...(as in wag the dog)

Transcript: President Clinton explains Iraq strike

CLINTON: Good evening.

Earlier today, I ordered America’s armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq’s nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.

Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout the Middle East and around the world.

We are witnessing the collapse of Obama. I mean it is amazing. The left and their apologists are and cannot regain the masses. They’ve lost. We are witnessing history. Save the papers!!

And to distract you and the MSM from my imminent impeachment...

Did anyone else find it troubling that he said “there will be no more combat”...almost as if signaling the opposition to move in?

"...almost as if signaling the opposition to move in?"

I don't think there's any "almost" about it. He might as well be a forward observer calling in fire coordinates.
