Whew, I am finally here, been listening and busy in the kitchen.
Lantos comes off as a communist infiltrator and spy.
Duncan Hunter up again !! Go HUNTER GO !!
“Anyone else notice that these are really softball questions???”
He’s awaiting the questions on his blackberry from MoveOn...
This is precisely why Petraeus and Crocker did not submit their testimonies prior to today. The Dems had no time to assemble their hit-questions.
The Republicans also didn't have access, of course, but their position is not so dependent on showing Petraeus and Crocker to be wrong/lying/etc....
And so the R's can ask real questions, for clarification and edification, which Petraeus and Crocker can answer meaningfully. It would be really good if an R or two would ask some actually tough questions.
I heart Duncan Hunter...
Nice to see Hunter and Petraeus side by side on the split screen.
Great Americans!!
He does, you’re right.
Gotta run now- will be lurking n’ working..
I like the fact that the Dems could not do a precise "Talking Points" Memo!
Ever notice how the republicans actually ask intelligent questions and the dems can only quote the New York Times et al..ad naseum?
I've heard that Hungarians are great at debate. I think Lantos left his native land too soon to benefit from the debate experience he might have gained.
This swine Lantos looks like he came straight out of central casting for “left-wing traitor governmental official”. Could the Dims have picked a worse person to be questioning Petraeus? It makes for an interesting spectacle.
My God, the enemy is using IEDs and foreign nation(s) are shipping in weapons and training terrorists. To this Lantos suggest a “Diplomatic Surge”.
Tell you what Lantos, we’ll park your a— on one of those IEDs and you can negotiate your way off it. Okay?
Petraeus discussing the basic training and command colleges that are working to produce Iraqi Army forces and leadership.
Totally great Americans and a very good question. (I was unaware that they had set up police and military academies in Anbar already.)
Iranian flow of arms and EFP’s has INCREASED...but Quds Force and Hezbollah have cut and run...I love it.
Just one late comment, I hope has followed many like it...I’m still back at Hunter dissing Lantos and Moveon.org! Simply by quoting Lantos and Moveon’s ad in the New Yuk Slimes, he gives them ‘airtime’!!!!!!!!!!! Like FoxNews, the commies get airtime whenever they’re talking and whenever the Pubs are talking!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hence they win the election, since no one’s ever talking sense! I’d just like to see one election where sanity gets more play than insanity.......kinda like sKerry defending his dims against Osama’s ‘accusations’ the Dims failed!!!!!!/rant
The reason for the “softball” questions is that Petraeus and Crocker have the detailed knowledge and credibility to make them appear like softballs. The only way that the Dems can attack them is thru ad hominen attacks to destroy their credibility. I suspect that will come from the other than the chairmen, Lantos and Skelton. I have already heard Congresswoman Maloney talk about cherry picking data. Look for some hard questions after the recess.
LOL..little dust up between Skelton and Ros Lehtinen!!
“Nobody has to distance themselves from something they weren’t associated!”
LOLOL, wonder which RAT is so defensive??
SNORT..... “take it easy.......” HAHAHAHAH
Go Ileana !!!
Spewing...”take it easy!” from Ros-Lehtinen
