Well, they weren't strictly fighting for their freedom last nite in the us but they were sort of, fighting for their corner or their stash! I guess they are our freedom fighters.
Kerry on MTP is harping on missed opportunities to make america safer.
Kerry is saying the USA has spurned the help of other nations three times. He does no mention that the rest of the world wanted the Iraqis to pay saddams debts in order to get the help.
Kerry is such a liar, he is lawyering his answers.
Tim Russered is doening a but kissing interview of "if kerry was president". Kerry is only relevant as a bush basing.
He can't; he was killed after the demonRATS released the names of active "CIA agents".
She has more face paint that a $29.95 special at Earl Shives....
I'm still trying to figure out when the last time was that an occurrence that was good for America was also good for the democrats.
Steve Harrigan's gloomy "bloodbath" prediction did not come true. Hope FOX does a follow up interview of him to let him explain why he misjudged so badly.
MTP starts here in a little while..from reading the comments, it sounds like Russert and the MSM, among others, are trying hard to squash Kerry's plans for 2008..
I think now that the election is over, he's not getting his botox injections. I noticed his face getting tight like a drum head when he started running for President.
And I believe they were based in the northeasern plains not the Mekong jungle.
The dems want Hillary.
Kerry can't quit lying.
Is sKeery going for a new look? He's changed from pink ties to blue. He's going to need more than that to change his image.
"That might leave a mark, you should put some ice on it."
The media should make it a practice to fire those reporters who make predictions.
MTP press is helping the democrats sow the seeds of doubt.
Basically the Kerrys and Kennedys are saying that the elections are fine and dandy but the city is still not painted.
Talking buzzwords "transfer of stability" for the day.
WHAT WILL THE DAYS MONTAGE WORDS BE? FOLKS LESTS PLAY THE "SPOT THE TALKING POINT WORDS"......
I think Russert did not do Kerry any favors. He did a good interview if you ask me. He brought up every skeleton in Kerry's closet. True, he didn't pin him to the mat but I don't think he needed to. He asked the 180 question and I have not heard a single MSM ask about that.
I think Chris Wallace is doing a great job interviewing Rice. Bringing up Kennedy and Dayton and such is not negative. It is giving her a chance to answer them. This is a terrific interview.

the Massachusetts senator argued that Bush's leadership would not deliver success.
"The president says that things are getting better in Iraq, and we must just stay the same course," he said. "Well, I disagree. They're not getting better. And we need to change the course to protect our troops and to win."
"A president's true test of leadership is how he responds when things are going wrong," Kerry added. "You need to be prepared to tell the truth, and I think a president who fails to admit his mistakes is a president who proves that he doesn't know how to make the course correct."

Kerry said the Bush administration was "in disarray," noting that the president's remark Wednesday that Iraq was plagued by a handful of terrorists contradicted Secretary of State Colin L. Powell's previous statements that the country had attracted many terrorists, as well as Iraqi interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's acknowledgment this week that terrorists were "pouring" into Iraq.

"It's a disgrace that the secretary of Defense doesn't tell the truth to the American people, and it's a disgrace that this president doesn't hold anybody in his administration accountable for failure," he said. "These are not small miscalculations. These are miscalculations that are costing lives — costing America's reputation in the world."

Kerry maintained that Iraq faced widespread instability that threatened the ability to hold elections in January. He said that he read a "devastating" account from a former deputy director of the Coalition Provisional Authority on Wednesday stating that reconstruction aid was not being distributed in the country and that unemployment was rampant.
"I want democracy to take hold," Kerry said. "But at the moment, I think most people would tell you that the United States and the Iraqis have retreated from whole areas of Iraq. There are no-go zones in Iraq today. You can't hold an election in a no-go zone."
The senator reiterated his call for Bush to seek more assistance from the international community to stabilize Iraq, mocking his trip this week to the United Nations as insufficient. "The president skedaddled out of New York so quickly, he barely had time to talk to any leaders," he said.
"Besides having a "frozen face" appearance, too much Botox can actually cause sagging if it is injected into the wrong area of your face. And, if too much of the toxin is injected, it can cause droopy eyelids called Ptosis, which can last for weeks."
