Today's MTP: general Sanchez and Bremer. Everything is

[LittleApple81]

working out, enough soldiers, we are liberators.

[LittleApple81]

1. How long should we expect American troops in Iraq?

Sanchez: depends on how well Iraqis can take responsibility for their own security. We have seen we have some weaknesses here...(my remark: boy, this is the understatement of the year).

[revcarol]

4. You mean, Sanchez, all those Iraqi police officers killed by their own

people as collaborators??!!??

THE PRESENCE OF THE U. S. IS THE GREATEST DESTABILIZING FORCE.

[revcarol]

2. Right,your time is limited, thank God.

After January, YOU'RE FIRED!!

[LittleApple81]

3. After the commercial, McCain will be on. We will see if he is

a Bush shill or a normal human being in this program.

[Prodemsouth]

5. My bets are on Bush shill. For the zillionth time he is there when they

really need him.

[revcarol]

6. Which of his two faces (shill, warmonger) will he show?

.

[LittleApple81]

7. McCain we will have to expand our military presence there.

Failure is not an option. It is difficult but too much is in the balance here.
Russert: where are we going to get the fresh troops?
Not buy such expensive equipment dedicate to the troops.
INCREASE SIZE OF DEFICIT!!!!

[revcarol]

12. It wasn't his "shill" face. He was not just going along with Bush.

It was his "war-mongering face." DO more with more, SPEND,SPEND,SPEND FOR THOSE DEFENSE CONTRACTORS.

"FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION." wHERE HAVE i HEARD THAT BEFORE?

[LittleApple81]

8. He voted against the tax cuts, but he does not want "pork" He

wants more "defense" (or is it more attack?)

[Ilsa]

9. I think Russert is also going to have a "round table" discussion

with Broder, Myers, etc. That might be interesting, to see if their slant has changed at all.

[Prodemsouth]

15. Geeze so we will not hear from anybody who was aginst this like Byrd.

Why the hell isn't MTP talking about the memo. Fucking whores.

[LittleApple81]

10. We don't have war now (referring to Bush* "mission accomplished")

we have a very robust insurgency!!!!

[LittleApple81]

11. No good people would be unhappy to have gotten rid of Saddam.

Iraq, the world, and America are better off with Saddam gone.
We are there to stay and we are going to do what is necessary to provide Iraq with a free and democratic society. (does this sound repetitive???)

[LittleApple81]

13. Soldiers are fighting for the justest of all causes. Our soldier losses

are not comparable to Vietnam: in Vietnam we lost more soldiers in one day than what we have lost during the entire period in Iraq (he does not mention that the beginning of the war in Vietnam was the same as here: not TOO MANY lives lost; then all hell broke lose).

[LittleApple81]

14. We should give every American an OPPORTUNITY to serve

not necessarily a draft (he does not believe in it).

[LittleApple81]

16. He is acting like a total apologist. I cannot believe it. Chalabi

and his group getting $385,000 a month and no intelligence coming out of them. Should we stop this? (no duh!)

[LittleApple81]

17. Rice's performance in front of the commission was very good!

[glarius]

18. McCain is a SCARY, war monger....he's for not only the Iraq attack but

he believes in pre-emptive strikes by the U.S.A...I have NEVER trusted this guy....I hope nobody still thinks he would be a good choice for Vice Pres....
He doesn't agree with Bush on ANYTHING, but is still supporting him? What kind of a loyal American is that?

[LittleApple81]

19. Why do they continue asking him is he will be a VP under Kerry?

WE DON'T NEED HIM!!!!!

[LittleApple81]

20. Russert listed all the things McCain disagrees with Bush* and

asks him how he can support him. Is he a better man than John Kerry. We should not judge them that way...
He will not only vote for Bush, he is campaigning for him.

[thexanman]

21. McCain is such a Bush enabler!!

I DON'T get the appeal of this looney tune! He's completely and utterly owned by Bush.

[truth2power]

22. I'm watching McCain now.

I just got up and already I'm yelling profanities at my TV. McCain is a shill but he's not doing a very good job of it.

I gotta wait for the transcript, but he's told so many lies already....he just said Sadaam had WMDs and if we hadn't overthrown him then he would have acquired WMDs. Well, which is it? If he already had them why would he need to acquire them? This is just one part of the BS McCain has been spewing this AM.

Also, McCain I think said if we don't win in Iraq then all of the middle will devolve into chaos or something like that.

I'm old enough to remember Vietnam, and this is the same shit, recycled, about the domino theory. I'm just sick, sick, sick, of these monsters. I hate them all.

[slater71]

23. Iraq military: "We did not sign up to kill our own people."

Did anyone catch that on MTP when Russert asked the general about the Iraq troops refusing to fight and in Falusa claiming that they did not sign up to kill there own people. the general admitted this happened and there were some problems to be addressed.

[LittleApple81]

24. WP person saying Bush is not talking to the nation now when

hearing from him is the most urgent.

[truth2power]

25. "The American people are well informed."

Yeah, mcCain said that, too. You Farking idiot! The primary reason we're in such a mess in Iraq is because the American people are most certainly NOT well informed. If they were, they would see through all the BS that comes over the airwaves. :mad: :mad: :mad:

[LittleApple81]

26. WP says Kerry is in a tough position: he cannot talk to this

issue because of his support for the war and then his opposition to tye 85B.

[LittleApple81]

27. WP: what did the president do? Officials responded "we cannot

discuss what the president did?" He said it is astonishing to see Bush*'s passivity. The nation needs A PRESIDENT in moments like this.

[LittleApple81]

28. Bingo: did Bush ask to talk to the FBI after the 8/6 PDB? Condi

said she did not know; but this is an area where there are questions; President HAS TO TAKE ACTION in situations like this; he might be doing something while on vacation but it is not apparent.

[LittleApple81]

29. People see every institution in society failing on 9/11. Bush will

be judged much more about what he did after 9/11.
Iraq: a war of necessity or a war of choice?

[LittleApple81]

30. Bremer: to whom are you handing power? That is a good question???

What the heck! If Bremer does not know, who knows.

[KC21304]

33. Broder's comment was priceless.

When asked to whom will we turn over power, briefer in Iraq said " That's a good question ". Broder said " That's not a good answer ".

[LittleApple81]

31. The White House has made a huge number of mistakes:

handling the commission, etc. creates the perception they have something to hide (no joke, Sherlock!)

[LittleApple81]

32. Russert brings up Kerry's FLIP/FLOPS. WHAT????

[rusty charly]

34. MTP

on in nyc now
