Listening to Tom Friedman (mind you, a newspaper columnist) TELLING 4-star General Myers WHAT HE thinks we need to do in Iraq!!!!

[MEG33]

I'm listening to Gen Myers on FTN.We need military police more than ever.We're now recruiting former intelligence service(Wa Po says)??Myers not aware.Not ready to say who bombed UN.Friedman wants to know about international forces.Gen.Clark...up now.Not enough troops,he says.Going to make presidential decision in the next week or two.

[Mr Rogers]

None of the comments made thus far concern anything said or revealed during a show. It is like walking into a room and hearing a debate that started long before. The initial comment is one I read verbatim on another thread. And the following ones are based in response to it - not to any news. Just IMHO...

[onyx]

Thank you for your comments. NOW I will watch Fox News Sunday just to see Brit handle Juan! Coming on here in 15 minutes!

[chiller]

The LA Times poll fits your description of Sunday morning propoganda. Brownstein is pumping his paper's poll, which I give no, zero, nada credence. Don't believe their crap.

Arnold's popularity soared, and any mis-steps since(Buffet) were nicely handled.

[mathluv]

Brit was excelleant, as always. But Juan said we want to know we will win. I loved it when Tony came back with "well I think people have the general idea"- very paraphrased here.

[MEG33]

Clark says we need UN..speed up reconstruction.Asked who told Clark to link Saddam to 9/11...Mentions a think tank in Canada,lots of people wanted to link where there is no link at all.(He caused a furor by implying a WH person was one of the calls he got.He's backed off that.)Friedman says we have to start from scratch in Iraq. Border guards replaced because of bribe taking(Jordon).

I too have noticed Cici's hair. If I'm going on tv, I at least run a comb through my hair.

I don't get it ... do these women think they seem to be more serious people if they are poorly groomed?

It's a hillary thing, now apparently being copied by others.

[Republican Red]

Is there some reason This Week has only John Edwards as a guest? Since I don't watch that show I am not in the loop. Are they showcasing all the nine dwarfs or is Edwards special?

[McGavin999]

Ah, the democrat machine is in full court press, and the press is cooperating full bore! Quagmire ALERT!

Wonder how much the french and germans have promised to their campaign chests if they'll all get out there and demand that the europeans be involved in Iraq? It's obvious that money is involved, they're frantic.

[Mr Rogers]

Since Clark has had nothing to do with Iraq, why would his opinion count any higher than mine?

I hope Clark runs for President. He won't stand a chance, will waste a lot of democrats money, and failure couldn't happen to a better guy.

[auboy]

Cici has hillary hair now.

To go along with all of Hillary's talking points spewing from her mouth.

[mathluv]

Well, Stephie is a Clintonite, and dear bill is advising johnnie boy.

[freeperfromnj]

Since Clark has had nothing to do with Iraq, why would his opinion count any higher than mine?

The reason for his appearance this morning was merely to lob a couple of cheap shots at the President. Notice how he managed to work in the "bring em on" comment and link it with the recent waive of terror?

[jigsaw]

Cici has hillary hair now.

How can you tell? Was Cici wearing a backless dress?

[MEG33]

Biden..Squandered opportunities...The big push is on for more troops.McCaffrey quoted,McCain on.Newsweeks polls are very negative.It is very important for us to win..tell American how much it will cost and why it is necessary.

[MEG33]

He is REALLY critical that we haven't gotten UN resolution and support.We must share authority with Germany abd France..not military but in rebuilding Iraq.We need money(McCain).Iraqi people must govern themselves.

[StriperSniper]

Tucker Carlson just said "Abortion is a sacrament in California." Chrissy boy came back(as the panel laughed except Norah) that he was over the top, and Tucker said "No, they love abortion in California". Chrissy "You mean abortion rights" Tucker "I don't know what that is, they love abortion."

[chiller]

Brit believes current conflicts in Iraq may be a good thing....better to fight terrorism in the Mid East, rather
than the Midwest.
