[ken5050]

Comments...and your opinion..Which Dem wull say the dumbest thing today?

[prairiebreeze]

Good! I wonder if it will work up higher than Karpinski.

Cambone holding his own against this harassment at present.

Prairie

Jack Reed is a Bleeping Bleeping Bleep Bleep

[kcvl]

They aren't interested in FACTS!

[ken5050]

Carbone is very impressive..

[MamaLucci]

Very interesting.....do we know if every senator on the armed forces committee got it?

[Freedom2specul8]

I wonder what the iraqi's will do to him......? :)

[TomGuy]

That's all over the place. I think it's 17 Senators who were sent letters in January. Mostly Democrats for some reason.

Oh, thinking

thinking

racking my brain

just to hazzard a guess, could the reason be: gotcha-politics?????

[Humal]

He's trying to do to this general what he did to Gen. Myers on Friday. Gen. Myers set him straight and got his points in.

[XJarhead]

At least that's not as offensive as the website someone here on FR directed us to which talks about both Karpinski and Franks as Jews....

Agreed. That ype of anti-semitic garbage has no business here or anywhere else. That being said, Karpinski deserves to be hammered for what she did, and for what she failed to do.

[babaloo]

HRC gave Reed his questions so that she does not have to look like a fool.

[Freedom2specul8]

I hope he's scared out of his mind.

[Howlin]

Nobody told them anything; the lawyer said he never heard back from most of them; Byrd told him that he didn't read emails under 500 words.

And one of them wrote back that there wasn't anything they could do because it was his nephew, and not his son.

They knew, Kim.

[Bahbah]

I believe both Hillary and Reed received the letters.

[OESY]

"Let's get one thing straight right now. These guys at Abu Ghraib were amateurs.
No one can destroy the credibility of the American military and embarrass himself
and his country for decades like I did. America needs a self-professed war criminal
who can admit committing atrocities in these trying times. Ted Kennedy even said so."

[prairiebreeze]

Senator finding this issue being used as fundraising platform for the Kerry campaign "appalling"!!

Which Senator is this I can't recognize him?

[cyncooper]

Reed's questioning ends with Smith saying at the end that there are numerous documents out there that say differently than Reed kept saying.

Reed sat there and misrepresented till the cows came home, but was roundly corrected throughout, much to his chagrin.

Allard starts off with condemning the fundraising effort based on this situation before moving on to questions.

[River_Wrangler]

What is McCain doing??????

Don't you remember--- McCail lost his airplane in vietnam and spent the war in jail. For some reason that made him a hero and a canadate fpr public office. ??? I lost my lunch money once and just got an a$$ chewing.

[kcvl]

Isn't that the TRUTH. They can't be bothered to do their JOBS but everyone else should do MORE than their jobs!

[Guenevere]

#455..Allard of Colorado.

[tapatio]

I just got back in to the computer.What were in the letters you are talking about?
