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

So long monty22!

Good job mods.

Carry on.

"I saw it. He took care to point out the difference between saying there's a connection between Saddam and 9/11 and the fact that Iraq had links to Al Qaeda, and that the two issues are constantly interchanged as denying the latter."

YES YES YES! I am so glad someone made this point. It drives me nuts when a conservative on one of these talking head shows makes the point that there was a link between Iraq and Al Qaeda, and the liberal screams "Even the President says there was no provable Iraqi connection to 9-11."

Rummy should offer them 10k or a Green card.

[AFPhys]

I suspect Rummy was more amused than anything else. He had to have been expecting this - he's seen it before many times.

[MEG33]

Don't like the video revelation...It's be coming soon to your local video stores,satellite in Iraq and here on Nightline or 60 minutes.

Myers is telling them we are at war and he has had a busy month.I am glad he reminded the Pompous Ones.Story already public.Feared that pictures might further inflame an already bad situation and put troops in danger..Military men and women suffering unfairly for a collective shame they don't deserve..

[Pikamax]

BTTT

Two camels, and a donkey...and an immigration visa to the US

I think Medea herself protested against Rummy before, and IIRC, she said she'd wrapped the banner around her waist to get through security.

If it was her .. then security SHOULD have known better to let her in .. and yes she hates Rummy

Wasn't she over in a Iraq .. teaching how to protest

[Catspaw]

If it wasn't Medea, it was a bunch of Medea clones, still wistfully dreaming of the time they played the bongos for Saddam pre-war. Note that the sign was (code) pink.

[cajungirl]

What he did not say is that the compensation is 50 cents which will get them a cup of coffee.

[victoryatallcosts]

Here, here.

This is a waste of time, forced upon us by a treasonous media.

Of course Rumsfeld and the others have to denounce this now. But it's utterly silly and trivial.

The "people" in question are Iraqi resistance members- they deserve to die, not to get an apology.

[Peach]

You forgot the sarcasm tag. LOL

I don't think those guys are going away anytime soon and they will open up old wounds in order to clear their good name.

Old Media may not cover it, but that's what FR and e-mail is for.

[Maceman]

God I'd hate to be a DUer's dog or cat! Those freaks come home all bent with hate and rage and I'll bet Fluffy is trembling in a dark place.

I don't think you are right. DUmmies like animals MUCH better than people.

[cyncooper]

To be clear: MYERS was concerned about publishing the pictures. My comment: Clearly Rather was NOT--or wanted this reaction, which he got in spades.

[Sacajaweau]

Hillary is thinking: Ha, ha...they thought they had the Congress but WE have it. We've stopped every Federal Court nominee, we've totally confused the old folks, we've demeaned the military who vote for Repubs and we're still stealing the people blind with our social programs.

[cake_crumb]

There is NO REASON for Rummy to step down over this. "Three service members referred to court martial"

[Petronski]

I wish Monty22 all the luck in the world in any efforts he might make at recovery.


The boy done snapped.

[ken5050]

Do you think that Saddam has satellite TV in his cell?..and anyone know if Al Jazz TV is broadcasting this..

[Rummyfan]

Listening to it on KABC, they just cut to Al Rantel who is commenting on it, and he apparently agrees that Rumsfeld should step down! I have never disagreed with Al before! He is not sure he should step down but he has not made his mind up -- very very disappointed in Rumsfeld.

I don't care what Al Rantel says - Rumsfeld should NOT resign! People are coming out of the woodwork looking for his head, a lot of conservatives too. The hell with them. If President Bush abandons him, then my support for Bush is gone too!

[bluerose]

And like this hearing, it will be fully televised on all networks!

And I wonder if anyone will leave in the middle to go to another meeting.
