[nopardons]

They also must not want the government to be in Iraq and Afghanistan then, don't want tax cuts either, and don't really
want a Representative who does anything of value.

[polymuser]

Wow, it's a 248 page report. Yeah, the link worked for me.

But nevertheless...

Or, "Nevermind what I said previously."

I sure don't recall hearing or reading any claims that their drones could reach our shores.

Add 'epic' to the indicator list.

G'night all. Fun catch!

[Darksheare]

LOL, yes.
I liked his comments about that.

[nopardons]

You hit the abuse button; maybe they'll listen to you.

Good night and pleasant dreams. :-)

[TShaunK]

I from Massachusetts and this is the best night us conservatives have had in a year....what brilliant move.If you only knew how many people I can shut up now.
"Bush lied!" Oh he did? then you better ask why your rep.voted to stay in a liars war then....bwahahahaha!!

[Darksheare]

"But nevertheless, the drones were portrayed as being capable of delivering a chemical attack to our shores. "

No they weren't.
Lying again.
And, the link works.
Three people so far have made the link work.
It just isn't your night, is it?
Make sure when you write up your report, you spell my handle corectly.
"Darksheare" with n 'e' at the end.

Be sure to say I'm mean spirited too.

Hopefully you can explain Murtha's comment found here?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1525055/posts

If Murtha did hear of the Battle of the Bulge and respected the lessons of history he would not have used the letters of grieving parents and wounded soldiers to manipulate the vote and political discourse the way he did. Rep. Murtha would not have said the things he did say tonight if he learned from the Battle of the Bulge. If he could lecture on the subject of the Battle of the Bulge I doubt very much that I would be interested in his points of view. I would prefer listening to Victor Davis Hanson or Thomas Sowell but NOT Mr. Murtha after tonight's display.

"I'll take an egotistical Joe Wilson any day over Max Boot...(Wilson) was responsible for the lives of some 800 Americans and described as a hero for his work there...a buttress of support for Mr. Wilson's credibility"

"I think Mr. Wilson did a great sevice to our country..."

"Mr. Wilson did not tell any lies in his July 6, 2003 essay"

"All this other stuff about possible inconsistencies in later publications of Mr. Wilson are really collateral issues"

"Mr. Wilson's contribution was to expose the overreach of the administration"

"I oppose the war for the reason that it has created a blind loyalty to a duplicitous government leadership"

"I do regret that Mr. Bush chose to invade Iraq on this premise ("to free 26 million Iraqis")"

A Joe Wilson apologist and a peace-at-any-cost, throne-sniffing mendicant. You're a small man after small ideas, Chuck.

[BagelFace]

In other words, the link works, but only if it is made to work. Yes, you ARE mean spirited.

[Darksheare]

Heh heh heh.

I clicked on it and said "Save target as", and it worked.
Someone else got it to work in a browser window..

[BagelFace]

I knew a girl in Amsterdam what worked in a browser window. Which reminds me... I'm going to bed. Good night!

[Darksheare]

I'm really glad I wasn't drinking anything right then...

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for the link re who voted and how.

BIG bumpity BUMP!

[Darksheare]

And then there's his comments IN this thread, sorry I wasn't very clear in last post, and he claims that the Dems never said "immediate withdraw"...
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1524772/posts?page=7415#7415

[Darksheare]

"Democrats don't support an immediate withdrawal"

MARGARET WARNER: Finally, Congressman, do you think the fact that you as a defense hawk have now come to this position, do you think this represents a tipping point? Are you hearing from other Democrats who voted for the war that they're coming to this view themselves?

REP. JOHN MURTHA: I hope this is a watershed. I hope a lot of people think about what I've said and we can begin to withdraw our troops immediately from that area and put them on the horizon, or over the horizon, so if they have to they can go back in.

St.Chuck, tell me what Murtha is saying in his quote?

St.Chuck, Nancy Pelosi tonight said that 'Republicans' cannot handle the 'truth'.
St.Chuck, you claimed that the Dems never said 'immediate withdraw', yet they have.
Who can't handle the truth St.Chuck?
