At the end of the brief snippet with Rummy, Myers & Sen Warner, who was that cheering? The reporters? Anyone else hear this?

Three Weeks
National Review Online, by Jed Babbin

As Mr. Cheney said, it would take weeks, not months. And three weeks to the day, liberated Iraqis were in Firdos Square in Baghdad toppling a huge statue of Saddam with a little help from the U.S. Marines.

[Petronski]

This Iraqi dissident Al-Suwaij just wants to burst into laughter when she sees poor Al-Khomovar squirming.

[melodie]

combover is deeply saddened

[Timeout]

Reporterette asks Rummy about Combover's remark:

Reporterette: Mr. Secretary, the Iraq ambassador...blah, blah, blah

Rummy: ambassador to WHAT?

Mumble

Rummy: ambassador to What? WHAT Ambassador?


LOL! I was waiting for someone to yell "Combover"!

[Jackie-O]

I love him too! Did you see him I think it was last night or early this morn. when he had a poor sat. phone signal with a correspondant?
He said, "Whhaa, whhaa, whaa, sorry folks ,sometimes our sat signal sounds like Charlie Browns's teacher!!" LMAO!!
He's a great personality!

[dfwgator]

"I don't know nothing 'bout no Godfather."

[Petronski]

"I am deeply saddened."

[retrokitten]

"I did not have relations with that man... Mr. Hussain".

LMAO!!!

[Fracas]

I missed that because I was furious that only half of the Senate felt the need to listen to a briefing by the Secretary of Defense and Gen. Myers. That is appalling.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

I think 'Hell'en asked if we were going to be bringing back, to the United States, some of the civilians who have been injured as a result of our bombs....including the children, so they could be cared for.

Damn bi-ch!!! I look forward to the chance to personally water her grave!

[Catspaw]

Combover (wagging finger at camera): "I did not have relations with that man... Mr. Hussain".

*snicker*

I wonder who's going to be paying Combover's salary, his condo, $200 meals and all the accoutrements of his (former) office?

[Nam Vet]

I had a joke about that, but hesitated to post it.

Nam Vet

[melodie]

Thank you...much better...lol

[Cboldt]

Reporterette said the guy was ambassador to the United States (he is not). Rummy is a detail guy, and it makes a big difference. Ambassador to the UN represents the country in the UN venue, only.

[dfwgator]

My fear is that the resistance for now is going to lie low and wait until things settle down to start stirring up trouble. The Marines are trying to draw them out now, but I don't think they'll bite.

[juzcuz]

Hey, you know certain media is looking to paint this with doom. Saying this has left a vaccuum. I say the place needs to be vaccuumed. Yea, CNN-etal.. the house needs the dead roaches vaccuumed up........

I'm so Glad the US Vaccuumes- Hey, the US 'inspects' as well....

WhooooHoooooo.....

[Jackie-O]

LOL!, me too!! Seems everyone is speaking the FR language lately!

[retrokitten]

But you know how it is--

Yes, I think I can infer the rest... {blushing}

[Catspaw]

Rummy: ambassador to What? WHAT Ambassador?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

If I were Combover, I'd be getting outta NYC before they strip his diplomatic passport & leave him exposed to our justice system.
