Sen Lugar on ccn just said that McCain should not voice his OPINION

[rodeodance]

about firing Rummy.

[rodeodance]

1. while Sen. Nelson Dem was grinning sitting next to him.

[rodeodance]

2. maybe more to come-after commercial

[rodeodance]

3. Nelson asked if he has confidence in Rummy--saying not in a position

to judge that--but saying overstatements by US to control insurgency.

[rodeodance]

5. Nelson saying that if Bush-who is the one accountable, wants to lay

the blame on an Assistant of State-that is his perogative.
I do not know who he was referring to--as the story on London today said that Gen. Casey was slapped down by bush.

[kittenpants]

4. why shouldn't he voice his opinion

according to lugar? That's pretty funny! God forbid a politician speak out on an issue!

[rodeodance]

6. I think that is way nelson was grinning like a cat.

[rodeodance]

10. Lugar saying that the wmd will always be a sourse of contention.

[mod mom]

8. Lugar is sounding more like a brownshirt every day. nt

[Pirate Smile]

21. The Republicans that used to have some integrity have thrown it all

away for Bush.

It is truly pathetic.

[rodeodance]

32. what do you mean by that?

[FloridaPat]

7. He just said a stable Iraq was definately a menance and getting rid

of the WMD was good.

He taked about how bad Iraq was to invade Iran. But - we helped him do that???

[rateyes]

18. Yes, we did...

we all know where the biological and chemical weapons Saddam Hussein used came from U.S.

[leesa]

9. Why does Lugar hate America?

[FreedomAngel82]

11. It seems to me now

they're eating their own. :popcorn:

[rodeodance]

12. talking of cindy and pres now.

[rodeodance]

13. did i just hear Lugar say it might be a good idea to get of Irag?

[rodeodance]

16. nelson saying Pres should meet with Cindy as she has become a symbol

[rodeodance]

17. I did not hear Blitzer ask Lugar if Bush should meet with Cindy. Did

anyone?

[rodeodance]

20. I really can not follow Lugar at times as he seems to be talking yes and

no at the same time.

[FloridaPat]

24. Don't think he did.

[Olney Blue]

15. Pass the popcorn.

:-)

[Pirate Smile]

14. Rodeodance, thank you for your play-by-play threads. Even if I don't

always respond, I love being able to read the thread and get a good take on who said what and what happened.

:yourock:

[rodeodance]

27. no problem--just wish i could think, hear, and type at the same time--

and faster. te he.

[FloridaPat]

19. Luger says Iraq not a Vietnam.

[rodeodance]

25. yes, heard that but he was still waffling--like he did not want to say

anything difinitive about getting out of Irag.

[bpilgrim]

22. lol - must be hav'n great effect

23. Biden was on one of the Sunday morning talk shows

and said no one had confidence in Rummy but our dumbass prez.:rofl:
Just kidding he didn't call him a dumbass.

[rodeodance]

26. thanks--yes Blitzer did include Bidens name along with McCains when

asking if they have confidence in Rummy.

[rodeodance]

29. the question of Rummy and his ability seems to be the question of the

day again. Good.

[rodeodance]

30. ah--now has Biden clip "blasting" the administration and RUMMY!!

[zoeb]

34. It seems to be Trash Rummy Day in the news this morning...

Can't think of a better way to start the day!!!

[kittenpants]

28. then when Andrea Mitchel asked if Rummy was just a scapegoat &

wasn't there plenty of blame to go around Biden said, 'well, sure, but we can't fire the president & the vice-president.' uh, yes we can! maybe he should get on that!

[rodeodance]

31. it is easier to fire rummy--maybe Biden was refering to the fact that it

would take Congress to fire Bush--which would never happen given that it is controled by Repugs. Just speculating.

[MelissaB]

33. Thank you for this thread.

I missed the show and reading this was great.

:yourock:

[wli]

35. now moderate rethugs have to worry about Wellstoning? n/t
