Katrina Vanden Heuvel was very eloquent just now on Hardball

[Coexist]

she said that 1/3 of the Iraqi Parliament (tri-partisan) sent a letter to the U.S. ASKING us to withdraw so they can find their own sovereignty.

Great stuff.

1. Oooh - she just brought "the memo" into it!

cut to commercial.

2. Who's the...

senseless wingnut with the goatee? I just turned it on and didn't catch his name. Just another Kool-Aid drinker I guess. :shrug:

3. Thanks, is she dealing with tweety?

Katrina is a very eloquent, intelligent, woman.

4. Most of the show has been good. I think Pete

is giving equal time to everyone. SO MUCH better than Tweety!

5. Did you hear Christen Breitweiser and the gentleman guest (I forget

his name) just before Katrina? Both guests had relatives and friends killed in 9/11. BOTH really slammed this administration for their lack af fixing anything!

[Coexist]

9. that was great! I was waiting for that one!

They both appeared to have differing political philosophies, yet both think the Republicans have NOT made us safer!

[babylonsister]

12. YES! She was great, didn't blame either party but just

pointed out that everything that has happened has been under the repugs' watch. I think we'll be seeing a lot more of her. (and no, I can't remember the man's name; first time I'd seen him, I think).

14. Here is Kristin's blog on huffingtonpost.com

"Mr. Rove, the first thing that I would like to address is Afghanistan - the place that anyone with a true “understanding of 9/11” knows is a nation that actually has a connection to the 9/11 attacks. One month after 9/11, we invaded Afghanistan, took down the Taliban, and left without capturing Usama Bin Laden - the alleged perpetrator of the September 11th attacks. In the meantime, Afghanistan has carried out democratic elections, but continues to suffer from extreme violence and unrest. Poppy production (yes, Karl, the drug trade) is at an all time high, thus flooding the world market with heroin. And of course, the oil pipeline (a.k.a. the Caspian Sea pipeline) is better protected by U.S. troops who now have a “legitimate” excuse to be in that part of Afghanistan. Interesting isn't it Karl that the drug “rat line” parallels the oil pipeline. (Yet, with all those troops guarding that same sliver of land, can you please explain how those drugs keep getting through?)

Now Karl, a question for you, since you seem to be the nation's self-styled sensei with regard to 9/11: Is Usama Bin Laden still important? Lately, your coterie of friends seems to be giving out mixed messages. Recall that in the early days, Bin Laden was wanted “dead or alive.” Then when Bin Laden slipped through your fingertips in Tora Bora, you downgraded his importance. We were told that Bin Laden was a "desperate man on the run,” and a person that President Bush was not "too worried about". Yet, whenever I saw Bin Laden's videos, he looked much too comfortable to actually be a man on the run. He looked tan, rested, and calm. He certainly didn't look the way I wanted the murderer of almost 3,000 innocent people to look: unkempt, panicked, and cowering in a corner."

Weekly Standard (I think). And Pete Williams seemed rather sympathetic towards us horrid libs tonight! It's all good!

15. Katrina Rocks!

She's speak strong well-though argument
with such passion and integrity.
Every democratic public leader can learn from her.

Keep rocking Katrina !

[Disturbed]

16. Katrina was outstanding, as usual.

She and Kristan should go on a speaking tour together to educate Amerikans that still don't know what the Bush Regime has done to Amerika.
