NEWS ALERT: John Kerry Ends Vacation. Returns to Campaigning Tomorrow. (MSNBC)

[cyncooper]

Here.

Trying to catch up reading the other thread and find out what I missed.

Ben Veniste. ack

Rumsfeld shows Ben Veniste a flyer that was sent out regarding pilot training.

Could BV whine any more? "But nobody DIIIIID anything!"

Lord, I really think the dems are going so over the top with unreasonable expectations that are placed ONLY on this administration, that it will be apparent to all. We all want a decent defense and intelligence, but this has gone well beyond reasonable.

Now the dimwitted and partisan Gorelick.

[StriperSniper]

That was sweet.

[Howlin]

Oh, gawd...........Gorelick again!!!!

She's trying for a job with Kerry!

[My back yard]

Thanks for the heads up.

[Jeff Gordon]

Where are you hearing/seeing this?

[Betaille]

Rumsfeld just kicks butt every time he speaks. If Kerry wins the election this year I think Rumsfeld will be elected president in 2008.

[Indy Pendance]

Thanks.

[Kaslin]

Check this out

[Petronski]

"Gorelick..."

Yikes. Is that a surname or a career plan?

[Darlin']

Too late. That was what slowed down the other thtead.... not the number of posts, just the graphics.

[MeekOneGOP]

Rumsfeld is the man ! ;^)

[Steven W.]

Gorelicker up now ... Ben Vineste was pathetic in his attempts to try to get Rummy to admit he knew something he didn't. It appears a warning about hijackers went out domestically but the memo never went to CIA or DOD. This is why Homeland Defense organization was the right thing to do, to centralize intelligence distribution. Note the RATs idea of Homeland Defense was to create a whole new beauracracy rather than trying to combine and streamline existing ones.

[annyokie]

Thanks, Howlin!

[Gucho]

Any guesses on Rummy's OBL news?

[prairiebreeze]

"The Summer of Threat"

First time I've heard that term. Likely thought up by the DNC for use during this hearing.

Prairie

[Miss Marple]

Now the "where were our planes to defend the Pentagon?" line.

[Indy Pendance]

Basically, they are only asking questions relating to anything after 1-21-01 and ignoring the 8 previous years?

[TonyInOhio]

Rumsfeld testifying now. Richard Ben-Vineste trying to trip him up.

Don't forget - Ben-Vineste made his "reputation" amongst liberal 'rats as a Watergate prosecutor. My guess is, that right about now, he's realizing he's met his match in the Doninator. :-)

[RoseofTexas]

Just got in, in a nutshell what did Rummy say and WHO did he slapped?? Was he VICTORIOUS? :)
