7. Did you have ANY involve in preparing the false info on Niger nukes
That would be my question.

So you did not establish your own "intelligence agency" (the OSP) to provide flimsy and (some other word) support for policies that had already been decided?

Come on Secretary the Grand Jury is waiting for your answer.....

5. This repub is TOTALLY out of touch!
Does he read ANY news? He only sees Iraq AND Afghanistan as huuuuuge victories and has no praise strong enough for the wits.

He went on about how baaaad Saddam was and the 3000 killed with nerve gas and how awful nerve gas is and somehow connected that as a threat to us (wasn't that over 10 yrs ago when we did nothing and now have found NOTHING like nerve gas in Iraq?)

Just lauditory praise and sloppy kisses.

OH BYRD'S turn!!!

Ans- I'll have to get that for you.

B- Can you give us an estimate?

Ans- No

B- Well, someone ought to know. I want to know now.

Ans- It isn't that simple

B- I've been around here 51 years. There must be some number you can cite.

Ans Not that fast.

B- I read it's around 3 and a half billion a month. You have the numbers when you want appropriations.

19. Keep the heat on these ruthless money grabbing liars-
My computer is doing a Cheney and can't get c-span3, so keep me posted I love hearing from y'all.

Looking at the Dell, 4600C series, any feed back will help.

20. Is that what it's called: doing a Cheney?
Usually no trouble hooking up with C-Span. So far my computer has errored out 4 times, on both 2 & 3. Something wrong at C-Span or what?

24. My question is...WHY ISN'T C-SPAN 1 following this!
Hmmm, let's see...oh, yes! We can effectively bury live coverage by putting it on a cable channel only covered by a pittance of cable carriers.

35. CNN mentioned it from time to time
and showed a still from the session, accompanied with something like this..."We'll keep track of it and let you know if something happens"...

uh..yeah...right..I BET you will....:eyes:


It's only on cspan3 because congress is in session, and of course the cable stations have to tell us about the "important" stuff that's going on... like pornography on tv, and the latest Laci "evidence", and the guy who killed his family... :(

next 10 or 20 YEARS.......\

(whew...that's a long time)

it's over ( a four hour session)...rummy tried to leave (pressing business he claimed), but they are taking him into closed door session to ask more about WMD....

__________________

lots of politicians are also attorneys...and they know when criminals evade answering questions, change the subject, and all that...and they also know that the "We the People" were listening to that session, that you can get a transcript and tape from C-span...and this is BIG, real BIG....

where's shrub ? dilly-dallying around in Africa while the ME, Afganistan, Iraq burn....and the WMD major problem is in several Congressional investigations.....la la da la la da la.....

26. from DU discussions.....here's another: from Senator Levin (MI)

Question:

Mr. Rumsfeld, the day after the President's SOTU you repeated the claim that Iraq was attempting to obtain Nuclear materials from Nigeria. Were you told by the CIA, before or after, that these documents were in fact forgeries?

Answer:
I can't give an answer to that at this time.



Can't you see what Levin is doing? He's going to interview CIA officials who are going to defend themselves with the days they handed over there assessments.

Rumsfeld has been around a long time, he knows how this game is played so he's going to waffle and weasel his way out of making any kind of definitive statement..............

32. I hope those CIA Agents step up to the plate.....Nothing worse than
going down for a blithering idiot!!!!!!!!

Just think of the millions they could make just reporting the truth!

More people would be signing book deals than you can shake a stick at.

Hey if they risk their lives every day for these Slime Balls ,
why not risk your life and make a hell of alot of money doing it by
just telling the truth?

Hope they know that this is a tyrranny and not a Democracy.
Our Country is depending on their valient morals.
There is a right and there is a wrong!!!

Bottom line guys!!!........Humanity needs you ...today!!!!

33. Interesting body language
I didn't see this hearing, did Warner cover for Bush? I heard something about how he's capable of getting pissed at the position Bush is putting the republicans in. I wonder if he's contemplating jumping off the ship?
