Thread #2 while Rumsfeld is continuing testimony.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I'd say the folks asking the questions are the ones not doing well today...

[Timeout]

Sheesh. Now this thread is mud. I wonder if all of FR is slow today?

[Howlin]

They are HUNG UP on these "principals meetings." You know why, because Richard Clarke WAS NOT INCLUDED and he thinks he should have been!!!!

[saberpride]

Wow! That is bad. Where was this taken?

[cyncooper]

has Rummy said anything about Bin Laden today.

Not yet.

Roemer yammering about how the clinton administration used metrics and did Rumsfeld? Roemer says he's not saying it was the best way, but did they do it that way. Rumsfeld said they did it differently.

Roemer says they'll be "grilling" Clarke tomorrow about the Clinton administration.

Heads up everybody: That means Clarke will be testifying about how Clinton et al did it right and Bush et al would not listen to this. Just a guess, of course.

[LisaFab]

Okay, I'm clueless...what the heck is a "metric?"

[prairiebreeze]

Roemer (I think) says they will "probably " be grilling Clarke on his testimony tomorrow.

Why do I seriously doubt this?

[RoseofTexas]

ooops...I'm should read AM! :)

[Howlin]

This guy is reading right from Clarke's book.

And now we're back to "Why didn't the Bush respond to the Cole."

Why didn't Clinton?

[tirednvirginia]

I think our side has done VERY well. Albright was awful.

[Redbob]

""When Clarke was there during the Clinton administration, they held lots of meetings."

Unlike Dubya, however, Clinton rarely ATTENDED any of their meetings!

[Steven W.]

metrics = "meetings" at which Clarke would tell everybody how well he was doing ROFLMAO

[BurbankKarl]

San Fransicko!

[Indy Pendance]

Timothy Roemer (D-Indiana) wants to know why the Bush administration didn't do anything to prevent the Cole bombing????? I assume this is the type of questioning that has been happening all day. sheesh!

[Betaille]

I'll suggest it to Jimrob. We could have all Freepers in the Atlanta area protest outside CNN offices, while all freepers too far away could call and write in repeatedly complaining about each example of CNN media bias from this campaign season.

[saberpride]

I missed a lot of halfbrights testimony. Did this guy on now ask her why they did nothing after all of the terrorist attacks?

[Darlin']

I think she actually thought she was going to catch Rummy in an unguarded moment. FOFLOL.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Rumsfeld's foot is about 9 inches up Roemers ani.

[Pukin Dog]

The guy is only trying to set up Rummy.

Clarke needs SOMETHING that he can defend against tomorrow. The questioner is trying to get Rummy to say something affirmative that can be denied by Clarke tomorrow. The fool thinks he found something in Clarke's book he can use. Rummy is giving him NOTHING.

[saberpride]

No more need be said!
