I'm sure all the networks will be showing this.

Only the US Congress would put its leaders on public trial during a war. This is an outrage.

This is a little off topic, but did anybody see Senator Inhofe on Hardball last night hold up a TopSecret Iraqi Intell document (from 1992 I believe) linking Iraq and al Qaeda. Mathews was dumbfounded when the Senator said to him that links between Saddam and al Qaeda was essentially a "settled" matter.

I saw it. He took care to point out the difference between saying there's a connection between Saddam and 9/11 and the fact that Iraq had links to Al Qaeda, and that the two issues are constantly interchanged as denying the latter.

[fml]

I agree with you, except I can't stop watching - I don't want to miss anything

[Peach]

Phone rang - turning down the volume and ignoring it now.

Rumsfeld is testifying under oath and that is unprecedented? Is that via FNC reporting?

"Why aren't these numb-nut Dims crying foul when the insurgents and terrorists mutilate our own."

I got an email from Dad today - he's thinking of starting a job in Iraq soon, as soon as the one he's doing in Korea is finished - he said he knew one of them. He didn't say which one though.

[Howlin]

I wonder if Jim Robinson would give us a special dispensation to cuss on this thread.

MSNBC saying this is going to be a much broader "inquisition" than just these pictures; that some members are going to vent!

Blood Sport!

[Howlin]

Yes, they ALL are going to be under oath!

[Semper Paratus]

There was an earlier that quoted Kerry as being royally ripped at the 'rats for this hearing. Is he anticipating another setup being sprung on the 'rats?

[Miss Marple]

I don't think that is unprecedented, is it? Don't they always swear an oath at these congressional hearings?

[OXENinFLA]

I'll have to wait till tonight to see the hand signals Rummy uses today.

I'm only running sound, I don't want RP to crash in the middle of something good.

[sissyjane]

Are you serious??

They're puting him under oath??

(my oath deleted)

This would surely be a good time for Teresa to release her tax returns....

[dfwgator]

This is the "War on Terror" not the "War on the People who Blew Up The WTC"

[cyncooper]

FNC - Spain confirms American's prints found on Madrid evidence of 3/11 bombing.

Excellent.

(but he's a "good man"! right)

[leadpenny]

C-SPAN is live in the Dirksen Hearing Room.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Blood sport is right! Nothing like US Senators giving aid, comfort and ammunition to the enemy.

[Petronski]

In fact, [Kennedy] will probably show up half in the bag.

Sheesh. Half in the bag? It's 11:45 in the morning.

He'll be a helluva lot more drunk than that.

[r9etb]

You are so right; there IS something "here".......some thread that is running all through this........I just cannot put my finger on it.

The common thread is Vietnam. John F'n Kerry wants to run against LBJ, and the media desperately want to return to the glory days of their youth.

[WestCoastGal]

Great pics....thank you.

Go get them Rumsfeld we are all with you!!!!!!!!!
