Won't give away anymore.

[Maat]

13. HeeHee!

Well, at least I know it is good.

You guys told me it was last night, and IT WAS!

[kitkat65]

At least two laugh-out-loud moments

[Maat]

[RagAss]

3. This is corruption city..we fixed elections

[berni_mccoy]

4. Calls Iraq Corruption CITY!

"If you think the constitution in Iraq will help, I gotta bridge to sell ya."

[RagAss]

6. Panic on the inside....a TET is coming

[FreedomAngel82]

20. Really

George Bush has really screwed things up even worse for them. :(

[shance]

29. I dont think it's as much George Bush as much as it is everyone that is

around him.

Yes he's to blame, however is he not being used as a distraction as well?

We sure are getting alot of information about that bike ride with Lance, arent we? Arent there some more important things potentially taking place tomorrow, perhaps that Dick Cheney is involved in?

Seems it should make others a bit interested of what else is going on behind the scenes by those around George Bush, who certainly appear to be the the ones creating policies and he's just the figure head that agrees with everything.

Would imagine George is following Dick and Dads orders, and as a prize he's getting the heat for their policies.

At the least the entire Administration deserves more focus and less focus on Georges bike riding. We all know by now he takes vacations and rides bikes. We should be more interested in what takes place when Bush isnt around perhaps. It also seems to be when he takes vacations all hell seems to break loose, or loosER.

[sniffa]

7. a new tet offensive

:wow:

[Strelnikov_]

21. We Are Screwed. Our Troops Are Really Screwed

Thank you GOP.

[chiffon]

8. He is flat-out on point....He's fed-up and not taking it anymore.

[tk2kewl]

9. he says iran, saudi arabia and venezuela will organize an embargo

[Just Me]

16. Seriously!

:wow: I guess we should be prepared for that under these extreme circumstances though.

[earthside]

10. He's scaring the bejesus out of me! n/t

[Sydnie]

11. Me too!!!! n/t

[tomg]

He seemed to be scaring the

shit out of Stewart. That interview was amazing.

[FreedomAngel82]

22. I haven't seen it yet

Should I hold my teddy bear while I watch it later? :\

[tomg]

27. Actually, Stewart's last

line where he thanked "Sister Mary Sunshine" for, I think it was, brightening his day, was pretty hilarious. Honestly, Hirsch just came on like all hell.

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. me, three!

[Strelnikov_]

23. Same Here. I Think It Was Too Much For John.

Too much reality. Time to book Paris Hilton for a decompression session.

Great. Just great.

[seabeyond]

14. he is god, he is one good dude, and smart. doesnt seem

like people listen to him. i dont get it. we actually have a handful of reporters that report, and people dont know hear or see

[RagAss]

15. we can all learn from him...

Boil it down to the simple facts...these people running the country are a crazed gang....that's what he has reduced it to....

[seabeyond]

32. bah hahah, i meant good. he is good. certainly NOT god

not that this isnt old, but dfont you just hate that. to read i wrote the man was god.......oooooosh. the reason for proof reading

[Reciprocity]

17. Seymore Hersh is the best guest since the new digs.

It always seems like there is never enough time for the good ones. It really grates my cheese that he gave Santorum three segments and this guy only one.

The thing about Saudi Arabia and Venezuela talking to each other is frightening in the respect that, if they wanted to hurt us where most Americans live, in our car they could do untold damage if they are in collusion for pricing or worst oil embargo.

[welshTerrier2]

18. Hersh was amazing !!!!!

this is cross-posted from GD-Politics:

he said we took all the money ($3 billion?) we confiscated from Saddam and used it to "fix the elections" in Iraq and in Afghanistan ...

he said the only thing we can do now is get out of there as fast as possible ...

he also said that it is widely believed the insurgency is preparing a massive assault sometime soon and they might even try to drive the US out of the "Green Zone" and take over Baghdad ...

folks, there's just no nice way to say this: virtually all of our elected leaders and most of the rest of our government are setting us up for a catastrophic failure in Iraq ... while they tapdance around playing their little political games, our country is going to suffer a devastating failure ... we'll be paying the price for this tragedy for generations ...

[Just Me]

26. The installed mayor of Baghdad was already "removed".

It's becoming so freakin' treachorous over there,...all because the war-profiteers have INSISTED on occupation and privatization and outright fraud. It's goshdamn disgusting!!!

[welshTerrier2]

28. that's exactly the problem with "staying until Iraq is stable"

how much longer are WE going to let this go on ???

it's like our entire government is suffering from mass hypnosis ... no one, i mean NO ONE, honestly believes ANY progress if being made in the training of Iraqi troops ... the republicans know it's nothing but lies and propaganda and so do the Democrats ...

so why do they continue to play these games ?????

is such tragedy really being allowed to continue for something as selfish as politics ???

[milkyway]

25. Incredible what Hersh was saying, but it's too bad Stewart is such a lousy

interviewer. The Daily Show is great, but John Stewart is a terrible interviewer when the guest is not there for laughs. When a guy like Hersh comes on and makes these extremely important statements, the best thing a host can do is shut up. Several times when Hersh would make a statement that we would like to hear more about, Stewart stopped Hersh cold by either injecting a snappy one-liner or changing the subject.

This is the second time I've seen Sy Hersh on The Daily Show, and both times John Stewart botched the interview. I think Stewart's been watching Tweety too much.

That being said, what I take from Sy Hersh's statements is that World War III is under way. Things are going to get a fuck of a lot worse before they get better. I wonder how many Americans are even dimly aware that the nations of the world are busy positioning themselves for a great war to control the remaining supplies of oil (it's always very profitable to be a supplier when the demand of a necessity exceeds supply). I'd like to see a show of hands for all the countries that will align with Bush's U.S. when things get nasty. So far, it seems most of the world is positioning themselves against us.

30. People who read the Stock Market Watch threads have seen it

coming. For those who REALLY want to know what's shaping up,

FOLLOW THE MONEY!

Besides, you learn a lot about the way the markets run the country! And, of course, who's doing what to whom, and who's in bed w/ whom!



....just another Market Watch thread lurkie...

loudsue

[Just Me]

31. Which is precisely why I am feeling so freakin' anxious,....

,...and praying every single day that indictments are laid on these traitors BEFORE they further instigated a world war where WE ARE THE WORLD'S ENEMY. It's frightening as hell!!!

[cyberpj]

35. Looks like quite a "coalition" teaming up. Perhaps just what PNAC wants

Then they get to play with the really BIG toys, don't they?

God help us all.

[cyberpj]

33. I just watched it off my Tivo this morning. Scary truth no one wants to

talk about. Iran with Iraq. Iran with Venezuela. China with Russia.

It getting way past just 'pulling out'.
This egg has been fertilized.


Can't find a transcript or video just yet.
Anyone else?

[shrike]

34. Sy looked like I feel

Disgusted and totally pissed off.

[halobeam]

36. wonder if Stuart would consider a second interview

(three segments long) with Hersch if he were emailed the suggestion by 75,000 DU members? This interview had extraordinary potential and a three minute egg timer was the culprit.
