Anyone else watching the Dorgan hearing?

It is to weep.

1. Where's that? So much going on today. I'm listening to CSPAN3,

the generals lambasting the leaders.

[whometense]

2. that's it.

Did you just hear that?

"Our leadership at the national level is bankrupt."

Oh my god.

3. Yes, yes I did and commented here:

I didn't log in til recently so missed Dorgan.

Even Hillary is asking about a timeline for withdrawing. That's a first, isn't it?

8. well, sort of...

She did talk about it, but she didn't actually say it was something she was in favor of...triangulation alert...

4. I'm watching

Rumsfeld and all need to go. They have destroyed the military, so so sad.

Did you hear the General Eaton, I believe his name is, when he was talking about the Sunnis and Shiite, and he said there was a person in '04 predicting accurately about this happening. The first name that came to my mind was John Kerry.

5. treasonous traitors if there ever were any.

This era will be seen as the height of corruption in the American government. They need to be tarrred and feathered and paraded through the streets of Washington DC.

6. Did he say - or was the reference obvious in the context

I seriously don't think I heard many others speaking of it but I assume others were.

[fedupinBushcountry]

7. The way he put it was

one person in 2004 was predicting this, he didn't mention a name that is what made me think he was speaking of Kerry. To me the strongest voice I heard on the complexities of the Iraq war was Kerry. I took it as Kerry as he always said that this could happen. I'll be watching it again when it gets put up on C-Span.

9. Did you hear the part where someone said

that Rumsfeld announced that anyone who discussed postwar planning would be fired?

I was working while listening, and that seemed so bizarre I wasn't sure I heard it correctly.

[fedupinBushcountry]

10. Did you hear

that Lott, has said that Dems illegally used that room for the hearing, and he will not let that happen again. I will have to go look it up, I read it somewhere last night. God, they hate when the truth gets out.

Here it is;

Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.) is threatening to punish Democrats for using an Appropriations Committee room for an unofficial hearing on Iraq oversight if it happens again.

“They better stop this,” the Mississippi Republican said. “This will be the last one or there will be retribution.”

Lott suggested that Republicans could hold GOP-only hearings or seek other forms of payback.
But if he is looking for a culprit in abetting the Democratic Policy Committee’s (DPC) hearing yesterday, he need look no further than fellow Mississippi Republican Thad Cochran, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, who controls the Dirksen Building room that Democrats used yesterday and have used for past hearings.

<...>

But Lott and other Republicans are upset that Democrats have gone outside the committee process to highlight the Iraq war before the November election.

“They’re abusing the system,” Lott said.
