1. I don't have extended cable. Can you tell what he is saying? n/t

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

3. So far...

He mentions the "free iraqi press" Mass graves, toured some prisons... said more people need to find work, they need more water & electricity but "The Iraqi people are better off today than 3-4 mos. ago...

[MaineDem]

5. "said more people need to find work"

In Iraq or here at home?

:eyes:

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

13. Iraq... LOL. If the Iraqi people compare what's happening here compared

to what he's promising them, they will really be concerned...

Jobs, what a joke...
Electricity? What was that that happened in NY last month?
Medical care? Only for the rich.

Christ, Bushco can't run this country. What in the hell are they trying to do by creating another out of a hostile citizenry?

[bobthedrummer]

12. Yeah, no more Shock and Awe would be an improvement

BTW, here is a transcript of the Reichmarshall's 4-30-03 "Message to the People of Iraq" for comparison to today's other bizarre sound bytes.

18. my snyde, sarcastic comment

I suppose anyone would be better off with outrageous quantities of uranium in their urine rather than live under some malevolent despot.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

4. He offered 1st question to the "Free Iraqi Press" which asked

about finding WMD... He said we have a large team working on that. yada, yada, yada.

[priller]

2. He's basically saying a whole lotta nothing

Bland platitudes, things are looking up, still searching for WMD--in short, absolutely nothing of substance whatsoever. Same old shit we've been hearing for months.

[Champion Jack]

14. He's running scared since Rather whipped his

Ass

[priller]

6. Now claims that Saddam

let 100,000 "criminals" out of prison in October before the war, "and now we're having to deal with that." Hey, I'll bet those were previously described oppressed "political prisoners" imprisoned by the ruthless Saddam.

[RevolutionStartsNow]

9. LOL You are right

Are they the ones who are "better off" or are they now the bad guys?

[onehandle]

20. Oh, great. Now anyone who speaks out against occupation...

...can be branded a criminal and put away. How Stalinist of them. How Red Chinese. How Saddam.

[Drifter]

7. Jesus ...

he looks like Frankenstein

He is a truely scary man.

Cheers
Drifter

[NNN0LHI]

8. This is not the Rumsfeld of the past. He looks like a whipped puppy

He is a short timer.

Don

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

10. He does look "whipped."

and the press seem to be circling but as much as I wish he was on the way out, I'm afraid he's the head of the gestalt Bush Junta and will not leave until Bush leaves.

[bfusco]

15. He is whipped

I agree. Gone are the bombastic rants such as "Old Europe". You know he is taking a whipping when his PNAC partners in crime such as Kristol are turning on him. When is Wolfowitz going to get his beating?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

11. Now he's insinuating that all the attacks are from "foreigners"

coming across the border and that the attacks are against the Iraqi people.


(the man must be on acid)

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

16. Iraqi Sunshine?

I think it's the one in the middle-right with Saddam on it.

[FauxNewsBlues]

17. Keep Darth Rumsfield

The policy won't change irregardless. Anybody think a new guy would think any differently? Rummy is out of country while Powell begs, bribes, pleads with the U.N.

If * dumps Rummy, he can then try the old, everything bad was Rummy's fault scapegoating. Fugghetaboutit. Dick Cheney doesn't even argue with Rummy about their favorite flavor of chewing gum they see so eye to eye on things. Let's keep Rummy around to kick around a little more. Rummy had to cancel a troop rally today because they knew he would get booed. It is getting that bad.

[NNN0LHI]

21. Booed or worse n/t

[madfloridian]

19. He said "Nobody's translating" during a question. It was in English.

They rather loudly reminded him of that, so he took off the ear pieces. Ha Ha.

[wtmusic]

22. I bet Dubya pulls those chestnuts out

for his speech manana:

the 100,000 criminals thing (it couldn't be citizens opposing the US) and one more visit to the torture chamber theme.
