FACE THE NATION (CBS): Sens. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) and Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): National security adviser Condoleezza Rice; Nasser Kidwa, Palestinian representative to the United Nations; and Dore Gold, senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

On friday Tony promised a 'senior official' for today, looks like everyone else was too busy (or Card drew the short straw;-).
(MTP just came on for me) I think Condi showed some of the 'strategery', when she said that arafart had gained stature and had to use it. He has now been given the chance to lead, if he won't nobody can say he wasn't given the opportunity.
I only caught The George Stephanopoulos Show starting with the final minutes of the segment with King Abdullah II of Jordan.
It looked, to me, like George S. had no (current) US big-wigs on the program.
Are they boycotting George? Will the big-wigs be on This Week, next week, when Sam and Cokie are back?
Just wondering.
I just saw this on t.v. and I am curious. Why did he make you want to scream?
Was it because he wouldn't be led to an answer that Tony Snow had in mind?
Was it because he wouldn't just go along with the truth as Tony Snow wanted to present it?
Or was it because he's not an accomplished actor and liar like so many of the people on these t.v. shows?
Just curious. Enquiring minds want to know.
I'm off to church, will check replies later.
You've got that right. This clown is being touted as a "journalist"????? Good God. He's a freaking CLINTOON ADVISER, for God's sakes!! ABC brass should be ashamed for putting him as the host of a show.
This is an audition for George Step-on-all-of-us, believe me. An audition.
So when we are attacked by Islamic terrorists in the future, lets just scold them and tell them that we love them and please dont hate us so. Lets not attack them lest we inspire more hatred toward us.
I agree with Britt, that the moral attitude regarding the Bush doctrine as it relates to terrorism. However, I think he is too personally close to the issue to see clearly just what the president is attempting to do. He needs to talk with Condi and clear up any fog he seems to be in on this issue. Even Fred the far right conservative seems to get it.
There is only one solution and every honest person knows what that is. Israel should have secure borders and so should the Palestinians. If Sharon and Arafat can't set the border, the USA (as the only superpower) should.
As a retired member of the US Air Force, I was a participant in bombing, via combat aircraft, Cambodian, Granadian, Panaminiam, and Iraqi targets that did result in civilian deaths. I feel no shame. I am sorry it had to come to that, but we were after military targets, and yes, innocent civilians were killed. I'm sorry, but I see a distinction between legitimate warfare, even though cruel, and the PURPOSEFUL bombing of innocents, where NO MILITARY target exists.
This is the hinge of my support for Israel and condemnation of the PA. After much careful thought and analysis, I am in the Israeli camp on this one. As far as Justin's site, and Mike Rivero for that matter, I simply must disagree. I have heard all they have to offer and simply will not sucumb to half-truths, lies, and innuendos. Sorry.
This morning in Church, our priest's homily was about the resurrection and the early days of persecution of the Church. He alluded to the Sahadrin member who said, "If Jesus is from man, then this will pass; but if He is from God, than it (the Church) will endure forever." He linked this to the fact that Rome, the power of that day, is no more. They prosecuted the church and the Jews, but both the Church and the Jews endure to this day. He ascribes this to the Hand of God. I agree.
38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men (Peter and the Apostles), and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
Dr. Gold told the truth: example
1. There were no airstrikes in Janine
2. The Pali's response was to talk over him, smile, interrupt, inject some other lie, etc. The Pali spokesman, Kidwa, spoke over, and over, and over again about War Crimes! and the like. He kept trying to bring in terms like International Law!, like his side is law abiding by having women detonate explosives on their backs to kill and maim Israeli infants.
In the movies, when the bad guys lie, it is obvious. Then the good guy breaks their head open (Braveheart). In real-life, when the bad guys lie, and we break for a commercial.
