LOL..I am darn sure he answered that way...just to drive me nuts..
It really doesn't make sense for me to get mad though..he will be confirmed.
I just hope he works with Pres. Bush...and doesn't just cater to the dem hacks in Congress.

My source was HIM...he said that during the hearing today, when asked questions.
At one point a Senator asked him a question and he said he wasn't smart enough to know...ugh.
And YES, as a matter of fact, if he had said that he learned about something on FR, I would have a lot better feelings than the fact that he gets his answers from the newspapers..

I haven't been able to watch the hearings for the last couple of hours. I really appreciate your analysis, and think you are probably correct in what you say.

What exactly did he say that was different after watching the News...(doncha love how his "teacher" is the MSM?)
Did anyone ask him this morning about how he feels about having direct talks with Syria and Iran re: Iraq?

He couldn't have gotten the message about all of the troops' success in Iraq from the NEWS...
Someone had to have "talked" to him during lunch...

That answer, he said, pertains to Iraq as a whole, not to the performance of U.S. forces there. I didnt want my comments to be interpreted as suggesting that they werent being successful in their endeavors, he said.

What exactly did he say that was different after watching the News...(doncha love how his "teacher" is the MSM?) I think he realized that he has to watch what he says and got a hard lesson learned on how the media will jump on what he says
He wanted to make it clear he thought the military was doing an excellent job and have had many successes there .. but that more needs to be done

She thinks she is smarter than any person on earth. We are not 'worthy' to be in the same oxygen space as she is, she thinks. PUKE!

Levin asking about more troops in Iraq and what General Abaza said about it .. that more troops was not the right why to go
Do you agree with the General
Gates says he will great weight to what they have to say and he will sit down with him and hear what they have to say

Really? What did he say in the clarification? I hope he got a call form the White House pointing out his stupid comment.

Levin keeps referring to a meeting the two of them had in his office...and then asking leading questions.
I sure sounds to me like Levin TOLD Gates what he wants to hear...and Gates is giving the answers...
Unless he doesn't know...then he says he reads a NEWSPAPER!!!
