Sunday Morning News Wrapup--who has details to share?

[frank frankly]

I have no tv.
I have no details.

I would love to know if BushCo is in trouble...

[eaprez]

1. International Poll

The British Journalist on Chris Matthews show quoted an international poll that was recently taken which shows internationally America is viewed to be a bigger threat than terrorism. I found that pretty shocking -- reason enough alone for a regime change in Washington. Bush's culpability was played down. The drum roll of "it was Osama who flew those airplanes into those buildings" has started.

[frank frankly]

4. but i thought saddam was behind 9/11

brit hume TOLD me that. and he regularly played squash with President George I, of whom only Thomas Friedman seems to pay proper homage. I can only assume Sir Thomas was deep in policy research and his own studies in the metaphysics of neoconism, because President George II was in fact FISHING with President George I. Surely they've worked out everything and still had time to discuss "pussy."

from Sir Thomas' column today:

President Bush, please call home. You need some of your father's wisdom right now. The old man, Bush 41, may not have had the vision thing, but he did have the prudence thing. He understood that he could not expel Saddam Hussein from Kuwait without a real coalition that included Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia and other key Arab states, not to mention all the NATO allies and the U.N. America would not have had the legitimacy to operate in that theater for the length of time required without Arab and European cover.

7. Tim Russert revealed that Chalabi and his group are receiving

3 million dollars a year for support and information on Iraq.
Also that Chalabi's brother-in-law's top aide posed as a captured Iraqi who told the US that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction.
Chalabi, who is a member of the occupying governing council in Iraq
has said, essentially, Saddam is gone and the ends justify the means.
Inotherwords, I lied, so what.

The so what is that he should be indicted and tried for inciting a war and giving officials of the United States false information causing a war and the deaths and maiming of thousands of American youth.

Of course that won't happen because he was and is Cheneybush and Rumsfeld's tool to declare war on Iraq.

McCain was asked shouldn't we stop paying Chalabi 3 million dollars a year. McCain sidestepped and said well it was good that Saddam was
removed otherwise he would have kept looking for WMD.

Um - really?

What absolute BS

These are impeachable crimes, but no one is mentioning the words.
Not only impeachable for CheneyBush but treasonous for the rest of the 'select" cabal, IMHO

18. Revealed? EVERYBODY IN DU HAS KNOWN THIS FOR

A LONG TIME. I am getting so angry again.
Bobbing heads, bobbing heads and Fox. that is all the TV "news" we get.!!!!

[mandyky]

8. CNN was downplaying it

CSpan's call in question for open phones was about the PDB. Between the 9-11 and current happenings in Iraq, I'd say idiot cowboy is toast!

[SayitAintSo]

11. I expected more "hair on fire" on the regular news nets

Looks like they are down playing it. We'll see

[John_H]

9. No way Timmy was going to put a Dem on. Not this week.

Sanchez, Bremmer, McCain. Then the Panel of Whores.

[SayitAintSo]

10. Rand Beers on ABC just gave great analysis of the August 6 2001 PDB

Richard Perle tried to Poo Poo it - while George Will looked like he wanted to smack him ( Pearl ) and broke in suggesting what the president could have done. Senator collins tried to white wash " nobody could have known " Blah Blah Blah ....


It remains - Beers did a good job of stating the obvious.

[PA Democrat]

13. I couldn't believe that George Wills

actually said that MORE should have been done based upon the PDB.

BTW, Perle reminds me of a vampire, sucking the lifeblood out of innocents as he engages in filthy war profiteering. He is scum, and it speaks VOLUMES that his good buddy is Chalabi, who is a convicted criminal.

[soleft]

12. Russert talking about the PDB now

Reading the content - saying it's important viewers know it's content. Quoting Dr. Rice, going to Lisa Meyers.

Meyers - not entirely historical, what surprised her was how unimpressive it was. Saying PResident didn't get enough info to act - strikes her as odd - says you can read into what you want to read in.

Broder - 2 WH officials said they can't discuss what Bush's response was to the memo, fits into pattern of Bush passivity in dealing with terrorism, which continues today where we don't know where the President is. Country needs a president.

3rd guy - don't know who he is - what did the president do? People will want to know.

Russert - Newsweek asks did poll - Meyers - Bush underestimated threat, so did Clinton, everyone. Politically, Iraq is more dangerous to PResident. Will play larger in election. No one has made compelling case anyone in Bush admin could have prevented 9/11. 3rd guy agrees. Pres will be judged for what he did after 9/11.

16. there's "poison in the body politic of Iraq"

And it's good it's coming out now. So said Paul Bremer on Fox, NBC and ABC.

[frank frankly]

17. bremer can travel through time

he is a GOD.

PAUL BREMMER, formerly of kissinger associates.

------------

actually, i hope he burns in the hell of his own mind forever

[eaprez]

19. Bremmer also said

he had no idea who they would be turning the keys over to on 6/30.
