Good grief, these people said that?

[lainie]

Sorry, you already answered that. None of us can believe it.

[habs4ever]

Good for you for saying this, that the Dems would open those fresh scabs for nothing but their own cynical gratification, and the media would be there piling on.

[Musket]

Michael Savage, who besides calling for Rice's resignation, is claiming that we should have known that AQ would be using planes as missiles.

I agree about Michael tonight, he's really out there on this. I had to turn him off. First time ever. I will be turning him back on because STEVEN EMERSON is on in the final hour.

[CaliforniaOkie]

What aggrevates me is that this dust up occurs no more than about 24 hours after McAliffe was calling the use of Bush's 9/11 photo on the phone overly political and "grotesque."

Also, McAliffe was on C-SPAN this morning spuuing his Bush hate. NO coincidence at all.

wow where did they dig up these people?

Where was Clintoon's war plan against OBL after our embassys were bombed? How about after the Cole was attacked? Bubba was too busy getting BJs in the Oval Office to care about domestic security. Clinton knew less about the military than Martin Sheen on NBC's "The Left Wing" TV Show.

Lookkeee here....all of this hullabaloo is hiding what the DEMS are doing.....REFUSING to bring the BUDGET up to the floor for a VOTE!!!! (So I hear...)

If Chris Matthew's pitch gets any higher, he is going to cause ear damage to my dog. MSNBC -- "More Sh*t, Nothing But Communism."

God forbid some republican contender might be damaged by this. Geesh, this ain't about party. This is about 'we the people.' This is about our right to know be we conservative or liberal. We have a need to know since "traditionally" terrorists don't target the military now do they? No, they target 'we the people.' Everyone knows this right?

Since it is 'we the people' who are the targets of terrorists, we must demand and insist upon our right to know what our officials in whom we place our trust might know about their activities.

[hchutch]

We'll have to see, butI don't think this is going to go away overnight, especially with that Brokaw story.

I was going to highlight a portion of your reply and comment upon it but I couldn't make up my mind as to which part was the most ignorant.

[summer]

Thanks for your replies. I think this is such a low for Democrat leaders. And, it will all backfire on them at the polls.

[summer]

Re your post #45 - I agree -- no coincidence.

[DallasMike]

God forbid some republican contender might be damaged by this.

If the past 17 months is any indication, this little trick will quickly backfire on the Democrats. It's fun to watch Tommy Daschle whine!

You know what they say, ignorance is bliss. So please fill me in ole wise one hole.

[demlosers]

You want a nebulous warning? Pad your walls and floors you might fall or run into them. Don't walk across a street; a car may hits you. Don't shave with a razor blade; you may cut your throat and bleed to death. Stay in the house because you may get mugged outside.

Your comment.......

Since it is 'we the people' who are the targets of terrorists, we must demand and insist upon our right to know what our officials in whom we place our trust might know about their activities.

Are you an expert in counter terrorism?..........are you versed in national security measures?...........are you aware that publicly divulging what you know about your enemy weakens your position and compromises your intelligence sources?

So, smartypants.........let's assume that you had all the information that the Bush Admin on on 9/10/01.........what would you have done differently on 9/11/01?

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

John King is set to trot out some of those same people within the hour on CNN.....

And who the heck is still watching CNN? Aren't their ratings still down the tubes? Heck, maybe they're hoping this will save their ratings.
