I just switched to a rerun of Friends. I just couldn't take anymore tonight.

[OldFriend]

Since the sixteen words were correct.........this is nothing more than sheer insanity.........

They keep ignoring the fact that there is no there there.

[cyncooper]

I got home and switched on the tv in time to see Sidney Blumenthal----I immediately clicked over to O'Reilly who (I don't always agree with him, but he's not evil) was appropriately impressed with Blair's speech.

Sidney Blumenthal!? I couldn't believe it. Ack

[cyncooper]

I heard O'Reilly say several times---All polls are out and the American people don't care about the uranium story. I knew it.

[OldFriend]

President's approval rating at 61%..........that won't stop the craziness but it's getting more desperate by the minute.

To say nothing of LIEberman saying we need Kweisi Imfume on the US Supreme Court.

[windchime]

"And I do not see Blair helping us much today....I will be surprised if he makes any public statements defending us at all."


Glad Prime Minister Blair presented a strong statement of support, cooperation and confirmation we were doing the right thing.

If our population finally realizes that the new 'Saddam' statement today reiterates the dem talking points, things should turn around. Let's hope they can discern the similarity!

What!?!!!

Good grief!

If they get to hear it they will. When I heard it I exclaimed right away that Saddam had the DNC memo--or they had his.

[OldFriend]

LIEberman said it, he was serious. He's insane.

[rwfromkansas]

Hey, he did enough to make my statement wrong.

He did me proud.

I was hoping for a document drop on the Niger matter, but at least he did say on our home soil that he stands by it. That forced the networks to say that he said that.

I feel like either I am deaf and not hearing the whole story or else I am not well versed in the gobbeldygook that passes for analysis today. Here's what Jim Angle said on Fox this evening and it's an almost verbatim account:

The British are standing by their intelligence,which comes from different sources.
The WH claims have been "proven false".

In case you missed Tony Blair's address to Congress today (like I did), C-SPAN is re-running it tonight at 11:28pm ET. C-SPAN TV Schedules

At 11pm ET tonight, C-SPAN will re-run today's press conference with PM Blair and President Bush (See C-SPAN schedule).

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

[DoctorMichael]

Damn! Looks like I missed a rip snorter; all the shows have been talking about it tonight. I, unfortuantely, was busy at work and didn't even have time to pull up the C-SPAN internet feed. I caught the Press Conference though while jogging on a treadmill.

As of right now both the C-SPAN channels have other programming on. ;-(

America needed to hear this speech.

Just a FYI.............It was mentioned on one of the talk shows that the speech timing was arranged for Tony's benefit ie. PRIME TIME IN BRITAIN.

I'll stay up as long as I can waiting for the replay.

[DoctorMichael]

Thanks! I just finished scrolling through the whole Thread (I had Ann Coulter on in the background on Scarborough Country) and you Posted your message just before my plea for a replay. LOL

PRIME TIME IN BRITAIN.

Thanks, my peripheral thinking button was turned off!

LOL.. you scrolled through this entire thread? You have far more patience than I do!

Glad I could be of help. I can't wait to see/hear PM Tony Blair's speech to Congress. I heard parts of it today during Sean Hannity's radio show, but the static on my car radio drowned out most of it.

[windchime]

"When I heard it I exclaimed right away that Saddam had the DNC memo--or they had his."


It's one or the other for sure!

[windchime]

Blair's statement of standing by British intel was great, but from what I'm seeing tonight, it hasn't shut the dems down.

IMO, they are trying to sully the viability of Condoleeza Rice, in addition to damaging President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

[nutmeg]

Part of Tony Blair's speech has been pre-empted by a live House vote. Now C-SPAN says the Blair speech to Congress will be re-aired at 3:42am ET. Set your VCR or TiVo...
