I'm sure all the networks will be showing this.

I used:


President@WhiteHouse.gov

That works. I got a quick "Thank you" from the staff in reply.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thank you for e-mailing President Bush. Your ideas and comments are
very
important to him.

Because of the large volume of e-mail received, the President cannot
personally respond to each message. However, the White House staff
considers and reports citizen ideas and concerns.

In addition to President@WhiteHouse.gov, we have developed White House
Web
Mail, an automated e-mail response system. Please access
http://www.whitehouse.gov/webmail to submit comments on a specific
issue.

Additionally, we welcome you to visit our website for the most
up-to-date
information on current events and topics of interest to you.

Can't find one for Rumsfeld though. He's under cabinet appointments on the WhiteHouse.gov web site but I don't see contact numbers for him.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

" Didn't hear "because he has worn the uniform" from Ted about clinton's being commander in chief of the armed forces, didja you?"

Note to Kennedy- SecDef Rumsfeld was a Navy pilot.

The Democrats and McCain basically demanded to know every war plan and battle strategy , so it can be broadcast on 60 Minutes and be fodder for their Sunday morning talk show appearances.Lugar, McCain, Hagel and Biden ad nauseum.

How dare the Pentagon not inform them of every detail of strategic planning ? How dare they ?

The Senate display was as sickening as the 9/11 Commission, with a few notable exceptions.

[VRWC_minion]

They clearly wanted to make the statement that the GC didn't apply as being the cause. Rummy told them that simply wasn't true. The GC does and always has applied in Iraq.

[Carolinamom]

I honestly believe that unlike the newspapers during WWII, CBS would have "broke" the story of D-Day preparations and ensured that Hitler's Nazis, being forewarned, would have slaughtered even more of our troops.

[BlessedByLiberty]

...Now on to the next media-manufactured "crisis."...

Let's see Dr. Rice - 9/11 Commissars
Rummy - Senate/House Inquisition

Guess Powell's next on the roster.

[Sacajaweau]

Never done it before, but I wrote CBS and told them that if I was one of those soldier's mother, I certainly wouldn't be real happy about seeing that on TV.

I also told them they effectively convicted a bunch of soldiers without a trial and that they were irresponsible.

[fight_truth_decay]

DAN RATHER (CBS) AND 60 MINUTES AFTER BEING ASKED BY GEN.MYERS TO 'HOLD BACK' FROM RUNNING OBTAINED IRAQI ABUSE PHOTOS, AS SAID INCIDENT HAD BEEN MADE PUBLIC, CHOSE TO PLACE OUR TROOPS AT FURTHER PERSONAL RISK FOR THEIR NETWORK RATINGS.

RATHER AND CBS HAVE SHOWN POOR JUDGEMENT BY POURING MORE FUEL ON THE FIRE IN THE WAR ON TERROR THAT THREATENS THE LIVES OF ALL AMERICANS WHETHER SERVING IN THE ARMED FORCES OR AS CIVILIANS TRAVELING ABROARD.

WRITE/E-MAIL/AND OR CALL DAN RATHER AND THE NETWORK ON THEIR UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES. WHEN ONE ENDANGERS AND ESPECIALLY KNOWINGLY ENDANGERS THE LIVES OF OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN THE ARMED FORCES, THEY SHOULD BE HELD AS ACCOUNTABLE.

REMEMBER THE MIDDLE NAME OF THE AMERICAN SOLDIER IS HONOR.

I wonder why all of the Democrats who are so concerned about what the Iraqi people think of us are not worried about what the American people think about them?


I can't imagine voting for one of them especially after this sham.

[ken5050]

They'd be running interviews with Goebbels..

[BushisTheMan]

Done.

Said I was joining a class action suit and I'd see them in court.

They have SECRET documentation illegally. I want them to PAY and PAY and PAY

[cyncooper]

I lost track on the thread so am just reading about Lindsey Graham's comments. Sickening. OMG.

Rumsfeld giving the same opening statement in the House he gave the Senate.

He just spoke of the many more pictures and videos that depict sadistic acts.

[Carolinamom]

Isn't it odd that we in the general public know MORE about this very public figure, the Defense Secretary during wartime no less, than Senator Kennedy?

[ken5050]

We were discussing this earlier. About the on;y good that can come from this farce is that any soldiers convicted, and there are guilty one, probably won't do time, becuase the defense atty just has to show a copy of these hearing and claim "undue command influence"

[swheats]

I hear you. There I go acting like a female again. Wanting the men to do all the heavy work. But hey they did get what they asked for. And they're taking it like men. Gloria Steinem would be proud.

Too bad I'm not a lawyer.

It wasn't so long ago that CBS was about ready to hang it up as a broadcast network...right around the time they hired Bryant Gumble. They are pimps for their anti-Bush publications and are first in line to air programs that they hope will cause him to leave the White House in January 2005 or before. Makes me wonder if Viacom got some funding via Soros to boost their flagging operating funds.

[RoseofTexas]

Who gave the info to her and to CBS - we will learn both answers about the same time that we learn who hired Craig Livingstone, and what really happened to Vince Foster.

Yep! Best not to count on the media presswhores to uncover any slimey detail from underneath the rock hiltary hides under! They won't touch her. She's the RAT god! They kiss the ground she walks on!
