Rummy just confirmed the truth of Clarke's book while under oath!

[NNN0LHI]

He just testified under oath that there were not enough good targets in Afghanistan to bomb. Now where have I heard that before?

2. Do you guys know???

Are Bush and Cheney going to testify on TV as well??? and are they still doing the hour thing?

[htuttle]

7. No, they refused to testify in public

They will be testifying in private, with a 'selected' portion of the commission. In other words, they will select the portion of the commission who they are willing to talk to. They refused to 'visit' with the entire commission. Actually, it's not testifying at all. They refused to be under oath, too.

As far as I know, it's still an hour, but Bush promised that he would answer a few questions past an hour, if needed. How gracious of him...

8. whaaaat?!?!?!

Thats fucked up. whats the fucking point then?

[arcane1]

10. to flood the media with Clinton testimony

with only a bare snippet of Bush. That way they can talk about Clinton all the live long day!

:grr:

[Bread and Circus]

9. They refused to be under oath, too. -- could it be because they are lying?

[handywork]

11. and there is nothing that could be done about this???

Who was in charge of the commission in the first place?

[htuttle]

14. hahaha...that is the best part

The Bush administration is in charge of the commission.

Neat trick, eh?

[handywork]

3. Rummy:"As I have said There just aren't a lot of targets in Afghanistan"

Direct quote

[jimshoes]

15. Roughly translated that means...

Sure we could have gone into Afghanistan with a relatively small force and taken out Bin Laden, but then we would not have gotten to blow off all our cool high tech bombs.

4. On 60 minutes I think

[Beetwasher]

5. Can Someone Explain WTF That is Even Supposed to Mean???

Wouldn't OBL and the training camps and the entire Taliban gov't be considered targets??????

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

6. Um - I'd say so

and we knew about them when President "I'm responsible for original sin" Clinton was in office

[JohnyCanuck]

12. What, no weddings or birthday parties

They could find to drop a bunker buster on?

17. Sweet Jesus

the nimrod just said the 'cost/benefit' ratio did not make hitting al quaeda pre 9-11 an option?!? What about the cost/benefit ratio of invading Iraq???
