Rep Weldon to give major House Floor speech on Able Danger momentarily; ON CSPAN NOW

CSPAN ^ | October 19, 2005

[TomGuy]

Rep. Kirt Weldon is on Michael Savage's radio program, and he is implying Rumsfeld is the one blocking further investigation into Able Danger.

Weldon is fuming; says he personally (in a committee hearing) asked Rumsfeld about the investigation being blocked. Rumsfeld replied that he would 'get back to Weldon with a response.' Weldon says he still has gotten nothing from Rumsfeld.

Weldon to give a speech in a few moments this evening on the floor of the House. It should be aired on CSPAN this evening.

[Chani]

He's on to Bono in the WH.

That's the first hour.....Weldon is on his 2nd hour...then he covers most of the Cspan speech his 3rd hour

[Txsleuth]

Bush's fault again!! Aw, jeez....I figured I would have to wait for Chrissy Matthews to pay attention to this...to hear someone blame Bush...but, NO

it happened...only a few minutes after the speech by Weldon.

[OldFriend]

We need to pray for Congressman Weldon and Maj. Gen. Schaeffer.

I fear for them.

[Bahbah]

I missed it ... what happen?

I could not do this justice. You may want to read a bit of the thread. How do we fight our own government, and why should we have to. That it the only whiff of Viet Nam theat exists her, and I don't ever want that again.

[TBall]

I'm glad to see this thread is so active. Reminds me of the early years of FR.

[nuconvert]

Wow! When will that be rerun?

[floriduh voter]

If that isn't the number for Congress, why do they put calls through or why don't they say something? I called the number earlier this month and they say capitol switchboard.

[McGruff]

We must not let them destroy the LtCol....FR needs to take up this cause..

Worth repeating.

A phone call works much better, but here is his email ---

Ive decided that most conspiracies aren't the result of malevolent intent, they're mostly the result of stupidity, embarrassment, and a wish to hide failure.

"Weldon said he couldn't give the name in public, but would gladly tell any of his House colleagues in private. He said once they hear the name of the person, they would agree that the person has impeccable credentials and is believable."

I tuned in Savage late, heard this on live feed. Unbelievable! It's all breaking wide open!

[Revererdrv]

Representative Weldon just declared war on Clinton. It seems like Freeh is supporting his efforts.

[OldFriend]

Ooops, as if Schaeffer doesn't have enough trouble.....I changed his rank too.

Sorry about that.

The deal with the pens was he took them when his father worked at an embassy and gave them to other students at the school. He put this info on his security clearance application, possibly because it may have existed on paper elsewhere. Who the heck was even tracking them in those days?

[small voice in the wilderness]

I agree. They both need our prayers. But, may I ask you a question? Are you finding yourself just really confused lately on just who needs prayer and what kind of prayer they need? And who seems to be walking in God's obedience and who seems to be out of God's will?

[philsfan24]

makes me proud to live in his district. pa aint bad after all.
