Check out CNN. Wolf Blitzer is taking it to Rummy.

[RSchewe]

Tune in...

Richard Pearle up next.

[bambo53]

1. Missed it, what did he say?

[RSchewe]

4. He took him to task on terror connnections to Iraq, DIA, their independent

intel operations.

I missed most of it but what i saw was pretty confrontational.

[RSchewe]

7. Wilkerson is up now. n/t

[niallmac]

2. Don't have a TV but can imagine Wolfie questioning the war.

So early in the game too!:sarcasm:

[Skidmore]

5. Actually, he did a surprisingly good job and Rummy was getting

upset with him. Kept pushing him on the lies leading up to the war, his secret intelligence service within DOD, the level of training Iraqis have within their security forces and the insurgency that isn't dissapearing, and on why he's being investigated.

[niallmac]

8. Then kudos to Wolfie! Better late than never.

19. Rumsfeld on Hannity - rewriting history... yada yada

The intelligence that was available in the House and Senate is exactly the same intelligence that was available to the President of the United States. It's the same intelligence that was available to the other countries in the world and to the United Nations when they passed their resolution.


To have people try to rewrite history I think is unfortunate. It's unfortunate because it can cause confusion with the American people. From the standpoint of the Department of Defense I find it particularly unfortunate because it can lead to confusion in the minds of the men and women in uniform who are out there defending our country and doing a superb job for our country.


HANNITY: Mr. Secretary, I think the President nailed it when he said yesterday, talking about the Democratic critics that are out there every single day now. I believe the term is that they're undermining the war, but the President said they spoke the truth then and they're speaking politics now. Is that what's happened? Has this whole war become politicized? And are they ultimately undermining the war?


SECRETARY RUMSFELD: The President said it pretty clearly twice in the last three or four days, and I think he's right to point out the risk that people take when they try to rewrite history. I must say on the other hand, there just was an action in the United States Senate where there was a proposal to have some time tables for withdrawal from Iraq, and a bipartisan group opposed it and rejected it and I think that's a good thing.

3. He really did give it to Dumbsfeld, didn't he?

These Republicans are such pathological liars, I cannot believe how they got away with it.

[spanone]

6. He needs to, there is no other point of view being discussed.

[Gabi Hayes]

9. I was stunned! slackjawed at how he was going after that creep

even showing clips, ala Russert, that contradicted what he's saying today, MUCH to Rumsfeld's chagrin.

and did you love that shifty-eyed General, or what? he looked like he'd rather be on the wrong end of an electric cord at Abu Ghraib

I was going to start a thread on this, til I saw yours....going to ask what sort of entity was inhabiting Wolfe's body today

this was the best grilling of Rumsfeld I've ever seen, contrasted to that pantywaist Steph's rimjob earlier, during which he let ALL the lies categoried here pass straight by without even a mention

I urge all to get the transcript when it comes out, cause what's been said here so far doesn't do justice to the job Blitzer did today, and, with one exception, Wolfe always seems to be one of the junta's most obsequious water carriers

truly a worthwhile use of the media; an actual journalistic coup, if you will

can't wait for the transcript

[RSchewe]

10. Reuel Gerecht is a cheif apologost for Bush.

I can barely stomach listening to his disinformation.

[RSchewe]

11. He dodged a curveball question and mentioned Clinton. Sigh... n/t

[RSchewe]

12. Now he is vouching for torture..... Clinton again. n/t

[Skidmore]

13. He's a PNACer.

[burythehatchet]

15. Soul-less mutha

[RSchewe]

16. Now he is trying to discredit Valerie Plame. This guy has no shame. n/t

[burythehatchet]

14. Wolfie sure has been entertaining today!!

That's like 3 good segments.

[RSchewe]

17. OK, shows over. I must say he surprised me today. He will balance this

though in the future with some right wing shilling after the extreme righties flood him with complaints.
