Holy Shit! Kennedy just asked Rummy why he hasn't resigned!

[sabra]

Rummy: I offered my resignation 2 times to Bush, but Bush has asked him to remain.

[sabra]

1. This is on C-Span3

[helderheid]

3. thanks! n/t

[paineinthearse]

2. That's my senior Senator!

Source?

[freeplessinseattle]

4. bwahaahaa, he sold his soul to the devil and is trapped forever n/t

[EVDebs]

5. ....and Rummy said what ? I've submitted my resignation 2Xs now

but the Prez and DoD just seem to keep losing it in the shuffle !

[NYC Liberal]

6. "The people criticizing Iraq are the ones who haven't been there themselve

WHAT??

I would say it is those SUPPORTING Iraq who are the ones who aren't going!

[reality based]

7. Since Rumsfeld has twice had his resignation rejected

it is quite clear who is responsible for his failures. Hold * responsible.

[EVDebs]

20. Why.... their policies aren't based on reality ! Check this out

Bush's base believe their fulfilling prophesy. You can't argue with that, now, can you ?

[SalmonChantedEvening]

8. Awright Ted!!

Give Rummy hell! :woohoo:

[Kazak]

9. He needs to be more persistant...

:grr:

[oasis]

10. "You go to war with the army you have". Kennedy reminds Rummy of that

statement, among others.

[napi21]

11. If Rummy resigned, who would replace him?

I don't like Rummy either, and a few months ago, I would have assumed it would have been Wolfie, but he's at the WB now. Are we looking at possibly going from the frying pan into the fire?

[burythehatchet]

17. the reason he can't resign is because

a confirmation proces re-opens the war debate.

[EVDebs]

21. "Bring it on !" n/t

[EFerrari]

12. On CNN now. n/t

[Clark2008]

13. What was his answer?

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

16. Puppet boy wouldn't take it.

And I just hate how disrespectful Gen Abizaid was to the Senator. I remember when Senators commanded a measure of respect from the Armed Services.

[cthrumatrix]

24. Rummy testified that he lost several $$TRILLION of OUR tax money

on 9-10-01.... ask him about how that INVESTIGATION is going?

[EFerrari]

30. I can see mislaying a $20. but that defies belief. n/t

[JohnyCanuck]

33. "Mislaying" is a nice euphemism

for funelling into black ops programs and likely some personal Cayman Island accounts as well.

[KharmaTrain]

14. This Could Be Fun

Rummy didn't look too comfy. Yep, both CNNServative and MSGOP have shown it and the flop sweat on Rummy rivals that of the day the soldier hit him about the lack of armor.

Yep...keep up the pressure and this one we need not back down. Rummy's been on the ropes before and has done some quick rope a dopes...time to see if we can get a scalp.

[oasis]

15. Rummy lies about his definition of "dead- enders". "What else would you

call people who strap bombs on themselve and blow themselves up?" is what Rummy says now.

IIRC, Rummy and Condi were using the term "dead-enders" at the beginning of the occupation when the weapon of choice was the roadside bomb or (ied).

Anyway, not the first time Rumsfeld has lied and it won't be his last.

[EFerrari]

19. He lies on his feet very well. n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. Heheh Cool! Can you imgaine if our sens and reps grilled the admin

Brit-style?

I'd pay to see that!

[AFSCME girl]

22. Me too!

Hmmmmmmm, "Question Time" with * ~ could be very fun :evilgrin:

(Except every answer * gives will probably relate to what "hard work" everything is!!! :grr: )

[AFSCME girl]

23. Get 'em, Teddy!!! n/t

:bounce:

[nikraye]

25. Clinton assailing KKKarl Rove's attack on liberals in NYT

Good for her!

[dogday]

26. Clinton Is Giving Them Hell

She is pissed off about that book!

[stickdog]

27. Typical neocon, always passing the buck back & forth ...

as well as our bucks, of course.

[me b zola]

28. Kennedy: "In baseball, it's two strikes & you're out...

"...what is it in the Pentagon?"

Did Rummy begin his response by agreeing that Iraq is a quagmire? I can't rewind because I changed the channel, but it seems to me that that is what he said; if so, it would be a great clip because he ended his response by saying that it is outragious to say that Iraq is in a quagmire.

[Google_Bomb]

29. That was great!

After having reminded Rummy of some of the things he's had to say. Kennedy also tacked on "in baseball you get three strikes, how many does the secretary get?" Glad I got a chance to see it this is the best day off ever.

[DistressedAmerican]

31. Sorry Dupe! Finger Slipped!

[DistressedAmerican]

32. He Tried To Get Out! But, They Just Keep Pulling Him Back In!

[EFerrari]

34. LOL!

The Mafia wouldn't take him. He's too dirty.

[ComerPerro]

35. So that means that Rumsfeld's failures are Bush's fault

Because Bush has told him not to resign.
