LIVE DISCUSSION THREAD..Gen Taguba testifying before Senate committee..C-span 1 and Fox

[ken5050]

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

[mwl1]

For decades liberals have believed that if they spew the same allegations often enough, they must be true. Alternatively, without any corroborating evidence, they often demand investigations to prove that their false assertions are correct.

[Badeye]

Inside every decent joke is a hard grain of truth!....LOL!

[DooDahhhh]

Hillary never looks happy! We should start "the ugliest photo of Hillary" contest.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Why was she on for such a short time? Not that I'm complaining.

Could it be to save herself some embarrasment?

[jacquej]

Yep, I love how she got told in no uncertain terms that she was going off in the wrong dorection in trying to nail Miller.

She thinks she is so smart, but some of these military guys know how to stop her dead in her tracks.

I love it!

[milagro]

Tagabu just NAILED Hillary's subtle indictment of Miller--I am very proud of him!

[kcvl]

Oh, THANKS SO MUCH! ROFLOL!

[Darlin']

Yep, wrong-headed as he was, Wellstone actually believed that stuff. Dayton is simply another pretender.

[Maigrey]

Was there a command influence in these situations?

Not explicitly.....

[TomGuy]

Graham is asking some real questions. Finally someone is!

[The context is not as bad as it has been blown up to be.]

[cyncooper]

Graham focuses on the wired up prisoner: Was that the idea of this group of 6 or 7 guards or something deeper?

What about the dogs? What about the pile of people?

Taguba: All of these scenarios created by this band of 7. NOT under orders.

This was confirmed by the prisoners themselves!

Graham cites the defense the MPs will mount is they were following orders. That is not established to be the case, per Taguba.

[YaYa123]

let's hear it for Lindsey Graham

He's a showboater....another southern Edwards, just as good at preening for the cameras...but Graham is a good guy this time. He's clarifying WTF when wrong.....and Rumsfeld had nothing to do with it.

[OESY]

Just a few questions: Could we use dogs (unmuzzled) if Saddam knew where the WMD were? Where Osama lives? Who's going to stage the next 911 attack? How we could save 3,000 lives, or maybe even 30,000 lives?

OK, could we dress Saddam in girly clothes or would that damage his self-esteem?

[mombonn]

The witch even washed her hair and put on some make-up.

[cake_crumb]

"yes!!!! Hillary trying to clear Karpinski...and Taguba is saying again....Listen Hillary.....Karpinski bucked the decision to put Pappas in charge..she did not follow orders."

Yep, she sounded like she was trying to protect Karpinski and Taguba set her straight. She doesn't want the buck to stop at Karpinski.

[Maigrey]

Sen. Graham bringing up the issue of dereliction of duty, "... this is unique to the military..."

[Ronaldus Magnus]

Go Lindsey Go!

[Pukin Dog]

I don't mind. The big airlines are seriously broken. Very poor cost structures, bleeding money, bad relationships between management and unions. I can go back to the Navy as a CDR, so that would be my first option, as long as I can get in another fighter. The Tomcat is on its way out, so it will be tough.

[cyncooper]

[The context is not as bad as it has been blown up to be.]

But almost exactly as many of us had deduced based on the available evidence.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Glad I voted for him.
