"By invading Iraq, the President has greatly undermined..."

[Vickers]

"...the war on terror."

Man, I love this Clarke dude!

"Since I am here, under oath, I might as well say: I will not accept a position in the Kerry administration, if asked."

3. Rove surrogate was SPEECHLESS!

DEAD AIR!

great stuff......nothing symbolizes the Bush admin more effectively than that brief, but telling, EMPTY bit of airtime, during which Lehmanthug had NO response to Clarke

one of the finest moments EVER on TV

and I'm TAPING!!!!!!!!

yay!

[Vickers]

4. I know!

Man, that blew me away, like they expected him to QUALIFY it or something, and he just let it hang there like a dead cat!

And the amazing thing is, he has kept such impeccable manners throughout (something a couple of the other folks didn't do).

9. Did he say it as though a Kerry Adm is a foregone conclusion ?

If so he might know that there is much more evidence coming.

[emulatorloo]

12. no he qualified "Kerry admin, should there be one"

not an exact quote

[wilersh]

11. Anyone on IRC too?

Anyone here watching/listening to the hearing and chatting on an IRC channel? It would be interesting to read comments realtime rather than reload these pages.

Is there a DU hangout on IRC?

[TNOE]

14. Why are the freeps now calling him a liar

due to the report on Faux.... just had time to glance at their board - any of you know anything about this?

No time today - I've got to sort of look and run, which is pissing me off due to the fact that I've been dying to see and hear today!

[ronnykmarshall]

Bug eyed Babs and holding her head moaning "oh my beautiful mind, oh my beautiful mind!".

[Vickers]

16. Holy crap! He is talking about the Bin Ladens in the USA pre9/11!

"I believe the FBI had good information about what the members of the Bin Laden family were doing" prior to 9/11

Day-um!

asked who gave final approval to let them fly:

"I don't know...the two possibilities are either the Dept. of State" and I missed the second part...STUPID KIDS! lol

[RedSock]
