This is the biggest issue, imho. I believe Reid's threats sent a chill through the spines of our nations broadcasters. If they don't take a long serious look at the libs(whom they prop-up) they've lost they're friggin' minds.
If you missed it...
Here's the Heartland clip with Scheuer re: OBL (QT):

These are great questions? You might consider sending this to Tony Snow and ask him about it. Tony seems to be the rare individual in the administration that understands these kinds of questions.
The Veep's on MTP! Hurray!
"We never heard boo from Senator George Mitchell, who is the chair of Disney's board. And where is Lee Hamilton, the Democratic co-chair of the 9/11 Commission? He conveniently stayed out of the entire discussion this week."
Thank you!
Good night and sweet dreams.
You're awesome!
BTW-I am creating a page for a new website - the page will be called "Never Forget"
If anyone would have any pictures, writings, etc that they would be willing to share with me to be used for this (I hope to "unveil" the page and web site tomorrow)- Please Freepmail me....
Thank you...
He will know when he gets the grilling from Libby's lawyers. Did you know that Tucker Carlson's father is also in Libby's defense team?
As all of you already know... i'm sure, Rockefeller said Iraq would be better off with Saddam in power.

Flopping Aces reminds us:
There has been some debate over how “imminent” a threat Iraq poses. I do believe that Iraq poses an imminent threat,, but I also believe that after September 11, that question is increasingly outdated. It is in the nature of these weapons, and the way they are targeted against civilian populations, that documented capability and demonstrated intent may be the only warning we get. To insist on further evidence could put some of our fellow Americans at risk. Can we afford to take that chance? We cannot!

Yes, yes, Bill Kristol finally said it. The question "are we safer" is not the right question. The question is "are we winning." Juan, on the other hand, is not making any sense.
Cheney looked really good, healthy, sharp, and proves again, Tim is no match for him. Yes, fool, the Taliban has acted up of late, they did it to test the NATO forces recently put in Afghanistan to replace American soldiers. NATO forces have shown them, "bad idea". 137 Taliban killed in the last 24 hours, and over 300 were killed last week.
"He won't back down fool", but Cheney's too much a gentleman to call Russert that. Cheney says, "I disagree Tim", then he explains why.
Time thinks he's got a "gotcha" when he shows the President saying Iraq is central to the fight on terrorism, and then shows a graphic that says 45% people agree, 53% disagree. LOL as VP Cheney said, "I beg to differ". Listen, Pumpkin Head, just because you got a poll graphic, doesn't make it so,and Cheney knows it.
Tim just can't nail Cheney, not even on WMD. So Tim switches to North Korea. "You took your eye off the prize on North Korea", Tim charges. They've doubled their nukes. Cheney won't let Tim get away with that line of thinking, he reminds Tim that our greatest threat is WMDs here, in this country.
On the dated Intelligence Committee document released (again), on Friday, Cheney has to correct the premise of Tim's accusatory question. Tim's line of questioning CLEARLY implies Cheney lied when he was on MTP right after 9-ll. Cheney clears the record on what information he had at the time.
TIM RUSSERT is playing "gotcha" big time, and as far as I can tell, Cheney is having none of it. He won't let Russert get away with misstating the record.
Cheney: "we know Zakawqi had an Al Qaueda training camp in Afghanistan and he moved it to Baghdad. He was there".
Cheney: "Tim, I don't know what part of this you don't understand", when Tim keeps on misstating the record.
(Almost out of desperation it seems,) Tim throws up another poll graphic, as if to say, "Take that, people don't support the war anymore". Cheney wisely puts that into perspective. Russert, you take that!!!!!
No WMD, no Saddam-bin laden connection, thousands dead, thousands wounded, wasn't it a mistake to go to war, Tim asked. Definite hopeful "gotcha" here, Cheney responds, too brilliantly for me to misquote, "It is absolutely the right thing for us to do," is the money quote. "the world is better off", and if we had to do it over again, we would do it again".
final gotcha. liberators or conquerors. GOTCHA Cheney!!!! Shut up Russert and let Cheney answer!!!!! Cheney says, "we did not anticipate the insurgency would last this long"...honest bottom line.
Russert is just trying toooooooo hard. Cheney reminds Tim there has been no attack since 9-ll when Tim says war money could have been better spent on security than on war. He won't give it up...mygawd, people can't carrry toothpaste on airplanes!!!! He's almost having a hissy fit. Cheney is Mr. Cool in responding, explaining "taking the battle to them is better than doing it here".
"What is victory, what is staying the course, what is winning", sissy man Tim asked, like he's genuinely curious. Cheney is not losing patience, explaining the president of Iraq must maintain relations with his neighbors, even Iran.
Tim goes to break, grinning like "an up next, more of my brilliant questions...stay tuned! "
I've had enough! Cheney rocks!!!
Wow, Peach- that's excellent. Not sure if I'm under a rock- but I'd not read or heard about that before. It also is interesting the only two places celebrating (openly) on 9/11 and 9/12 were in the Palestinian territories AND IRAQ.
That is definitely barf-inducing television. Clinton boot-licker having two, count 'em, TWO!, Clinton apologists on. ABC trying to suck up for showing THE PATH TO 9/11?
Hey Rummyfan...long time no see!
Timmy: The NY Times sasys...
Timmy: The WaPo says....
Timmy: An NY Times poll says....
Ad infinitum! It's a joke.
Give him that with both barrels and walk off the set. The rest of the show can just focus on Russert with his jaw on the floor.
