Ho, ho, ho. Biden says one of the things we did wrong in Iraq was to decimate the officer corps of the Iraqi army, unlike we did in Germany and Japan. WHAT? We left Germany and Japan with a strong officer corps so they could help fight terrorists...or anyone, for that matter.

"Marvin Kalb justified that "journalists" always skeptical"

your new tag line needs a spouse.....

"unless I'm quoting a DNC talking point"

[rodguy911]

I saw a two minute promo for fat tim on the "today we spin" show on nbc. Just happened to be passing through and Timmy was spinning stuff so fast it was hard to tell if there was any truth there at all. It was fascinating.

[Hacksaw]

This will be the MSM's new front in the War Against the Administration. They will begin their propoganda pieces tomorrow, with segments explaining to the public how RAT criticism is actually good for the troops and the war effort.After six weeks of hammering this point home, a new poll will be released showing the public supports RAT criticism and believes it good for the troops and the war effort.

A guy I work with has a son in the Rangers, in Iraq. He was saying that they (his son and co.) are sick of all the criticism - it doesn't make their job any easier, and it is not like they can just pack up and leave if things get rough.

[Morgan in Denver]

According to this logic, there's no need for an election. Right? We'll just anoint McCain.

[anita]

Ah so he is auditioning for his next job as Press Secretary for a Hillary 2008 Campaign right now?

But he may have competition with Steffy & em, even Wallace.

[snugs]

I find it incredible in this day and age that the MSM even thinks it is credible to suggest that someone who is 72 at the time of the election could even consider running for President. I am not ageist but a realist he would never be able to keep up a modern President's travel schedule let alone the day to day pressures of the job. Its all a smoke screen and the media know it.

IMHO they are hoping that all the time they are trying to convince the public and maybe some gullible Republicans that McCain is the right choice it will prevent the real candidate coming forward. Therefore giving them less time to make an impression on the American public.

[Bahbah]

Warner says that we weren't paying any attention to the IED problem until he called in some soldiers, but now they are. He has such gravitas, our Senator Warner.

[snugs]

Sorry forgot to say thanks for the thread

[wolfpat]

You're right. Wallace is tearing him a new one.

[Fishtalk]

Chris Wallace is filleting Glasses Levin.

And Luger gave up a great opportunity to go in for the final kill of Levin.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

On Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace was tough on Sen. Carl Levin, accusing him of distorting what Pres. Bush had said prior to the Iraq war about the links between Saddam and Al-Qaida.

When Wallace turned to Sen. Richard Lugar for support, Lugar lefting him twisting, saying meekly that we should leave it to the historians to sort out.

Wallace for Indiana Senator!

[rodguy911]

Wow is that a vast understatement! Most rats are scared to death of Britt! They can't stand the light of truth anywhere in their life.

[lawdude]

..."media analyst" Marvin Kalb justified that "journalists" always skeptical and that 's why their view differs from public."

And of course, the urinalists are correct and the 'public' is wrong because we are not worldly enough to understand.

[Alissa]

Meet the Depressed is Tim and Biden against Warner. Tim hasn't asked ONE question to dispute Biden so far. All his hard balls are going to Warner. Tim needs to get out or MTP will go the way of Face the Nation.

[Bahbah]

For those who get MTP an hour later, do watch for the look of disgust on Warner's face while Biden is talking about not enough troops, which, hw says, we could have remedied as recently as 6 months ago, but now, because of Bush's failures, would be seen as occupation.

[DoctorMichael]

.....What a strong stomach and low blood pressure you must have!.......

The damn thing is that this book's pernicious contents will get repeated by Dumbos for the next 3 years (or longer):
"Yes Mr. [insert Talk-show Host's name here], its been documented that the Republican stole the 2004 election. There was a whole book written about it!"

[Wristpin]

"Seventy percent of people surveyed said that criticism of the war by Democratic senators hurts troop morale"

I'm not worried that much about the morale of our troops. They will get the job done out of honor and loyalty to each other. What does worry me is the morale of the enemy which the Dems are aiding. Viet Nam redux.

[anita]

Very True. First McCain has to prove
how many tax cuts he voted for
Why he is against FMA
Why he is for Kyoto
Why he is against NRA
Why he is not against Soros
Why he is not against Moveon & so on.

[maica]

Ho, ho, ho. Biden says...


/---anything after that is his own private fantasy. He has a lot of time to think as he commutes every day to DC from his home in Delaware.
