Murtha is speaking live now.....spanking the neo-cons

[Webster Green]

I'm watching on CNN

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

1. MSNBC too. Go Mr. Murtha!

[FreedomAngel82]

3. Yay!

[Kierkegaard]

2. Feed the cube rats, please!

[Webster Green]

4. He's citing actual facts about the "re-construction" efforts...

Water supplies, electrical service, the kinds of things that might have won the hearts and minds.....

Actual facts.

The **pResident will not be pleased!

[eleny]

5. Now he's separating insurgency from terrorism - WOW!

[Webster Green]

7. This is great!......He's breaking it down for everyone to understand

This guy is amazing!

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

9. Perfect, And then I'll bet he takes Questions. Like a leader.

Thank you, sir.

[w8liftinglady]

18. hehe...we posted the same thing....

some things are just obvious.

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

24. If Bush fired Rummy and put Murtha in as defsec..I Might say somthing

nice about Bush. But it will never happen.

[FreedomAngel82]

29. They couldn't do that though

Because that would show Bush was wrong and these people never admit to any mistake. Remember the second debate??

[DeepModem Mom]

6. I just tuned in -- I love this guy! Thank goodness he's giving the Dem...

response. This guy, IMO, is dynamite. Everybody's really wonderful grandpa.

On edit -- wish I could report to others, but I have some workmen/confusion right now, and am just catching bits and pieces.

[catmother]

8. he talked about when he was in iraq in 91-92? how he was told

once the goal was completed to get the troops out of saudi arabia -- that it was sacred ground. and that's what osama bin laden said after 911 that we had troops in saudi arabia that was sacred and that's why he attacked us.

i'm trying to get as much as i can down for those of you who do not have a tv available. so please excuse and typos or run on sentences.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

27. thanks!

Your report is appreciated!

[eleny]

10. Now the administraton has to respond to him and do some 'splainin'

He's forcing a dialog they can't possibly want to have. I love it!

[DeepModem Mom]

11. Damn -- CNN cuts it off!

[eleny]

14. Not letting us hear the Q&A - this stinks!

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

17. They all did...Murtha answering questions makes Bush seem weak.

But he made great points while he was covered.

[w8liftinglady]

12. Bush could take "Leader" lessons from Murtha...

he isn't afraid to take on the reporters,and does so in such a confident,nonthreatening way-not laying blame,just answering the questons.God,I admire him.

[Yavin4]

13. The Admin's Response Is Below

Why does Murtha hate America?

[tridim]

15. Why the hell would CNN cut away from the Q&A?

Gawd I hate them. The news is what he's saying, not what the news-bimbo says in summary.

[JesterCS]

19. I know I hate when they do that

I was interested in hearing what he had to say, I'm sure he was gonna get a few tough questions.

I like his answer to the question on what constitutes returning to Iraq from Kuwait/etc

Credible Intelligence of a threat to a neighboring ally or the United States.

No US intelligence in the country save for the intelligence at the embassy.

[tridim]

20. What's worse is I jumped to the CSPAN's to see if they were covering

it there and I get an image of Paul Fucking Wolfowitz. CSPAN really needs to get a new programming director.

[w8liftinglady]

22. because he blows Bush out of the radar with his speaking skills

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

25. We did it twice on one thread! Ha.

on edit: see post #17

[blm]

30. Because Dems answering Qs on TV highlights that Bush WON'T take Qs at all

after his speeches.

The media MUST protect Bush and his image wherever they can.

[Uncle Joe]

31. Can you say corpwhorate owned MSM, I knew you could. n/t

[Just Me]

16. I am prepared to jump ALL OVER any Democrat who fails to stand,...

,...by Murtha. Goshdamnit!!! He is laying out all the evidence PROVING our presence pretty much GUARANTEES FAILURE!!!!

[Cha]

21. Murtha is America's gift who

keeps on giving..thank you, Jack Murtha!

And ,thank you, Webster Green for telling us about Murtha's broadcast.

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. HOPEFULLY C-SPAN will show the ENTIRE speech

and questions. I missed it...damn. :(

[faithnotgreed]

26. thanks everyone

i saw none of it but i sure enjoyed hearing some of the details

[mvd]

32. I missed it, too

Also hope to see it on C-SPAN!

[salinen]

28. Gosh

it's so hard to tell the difference between Murtha and that other VN vet Cunningham.
