No, both Conyers and Dingell are safe. Conyers' seat has a big chunk of Detroit and no Republican can win there. Dingell is immortal and will never be beaten.

Bret took it well, he was laughing sort of sheepishly.

(I'm sure Bret has a good relationship with the Pentagon, he treats them with *respect* and gets excellent info out of them...)

[Trust but Verify]

What planet are these people from? The food they were bringing in is being found in Saddam's palaces! It wasn't getting to the people! Ahhhh!!!! This makes me so mad! They think trying is more important than doing!

[Timeout]

When it's time for free Iraqis to write their new national anthem, I hope someone suggests a line:

"And the rockets red glare.

The palm tree is still there.

Gave proof through the night,

That the webcam's still there."

Rummy: A lot of experts thought they knew [how long this war would take].

Take that, you embedded in studio generals.

[Dog]

Rummy slammed the "experts".......LOL!

[alnick]

What was the question that he gave a one word answer to? I missed it.

Brett: "Is Saddam dead?"

Rummy: "I don't know."

Brett: "Was Saddam in that building?"

Rummy: "I don't know."

At this point a lot of other reporters tried to get their questions in but Brett didn't want to let go, so he said to Rummy, "Hold on."

You could see the fear on Brett's face as he suddenly realized, "Uh-oh, I just told Rummy to hold on."

[Fast5]

Did ya'll here what that lady reporter repeated what was just said to her about where SH might be?

[GOPyouth]

Yeah, Rumsfeld was cracking a smile, too.

[Lauratealeaf]

Brett asked about the whereabouts of Saddam Hussein. Dead or alive? Rummy just said, "dunno"

Thanks for the info!

[Fracas]

LOL. Wasn't that funny? And I loved Rummy's little grin as he said it. The canary feathers were just falling out of his mouth. ROFL.

[Mo1]

and where's Lara "Ligan" Logan?

She is on the NTV Cam giving her report

[MomwithHope]

With apologies to Registered and all you others out there who are way more talented, but I just had to do this....

[retrokitten]

LMAO!

"O say does that red light on the mosque still glow?"

[GOPrincess]

Thanks for the smile, those are great lyrics :).

[Inspectorette]

I like Bret - he's a cutie. I think Rummy likes him too.

[GOPyouth]

Great stuff.

[TheFilter]

I just got home and I wanted to say I'm so happy. There's a lot of work to be done, but here's to our troops and to the (hopefully longtime) Free Republic of Iraq!

[justshe]

Oh......BOO HISS!!!!

Too clever~~
