[SeanQuinn]

He just said quagmire..haha.

[Webster Green]

1. Feeble attempt at damge control

He looks pretty stressed out.

[SeanQuinn]

3. He kinda always looks pretty stressed.

I would too, if I was in control of troops who may not even know what they are fighting for.

[sam sarrha]

2. yea, he cant scrape that crap off his boots..

[Skidmore]

4. It's opposite the Defense contractors hearings on C-SPAN 3

FYI. Dorgan and Waxman are investigating profiteering and fraud.

[SeanQuinn]

5. Rummy: "...conflict against a religion"

If he didn't just directly call this out as the war on terror = war on Islam, I'd never think BushCo would.

6. Sunday was hard to deal with

Seems Rummy really made the rounds. I don't know what makes me sicker; being lied to or knowing how many people believe that tripe.

Did you hear him say that Rove was talking about moveon.org? Cripes! Does this mean we need a translation book on Repug speak now? Cuz I didn't hear anything remotely associated w/moveon.org.

[SeanQuinn]

7. Conservative dad helped me out on this one.

Supposedly, what Rove said was right there on MoveOn.org after the attacks. That redefines bullshit, in my opinion.

Here's what archive.org told me:

To combat terrorism, we must act in accordance with a high standard that does not disregard the lives of people in other countries. If we retaliate by bombing Kabul and kill people oppressed by the Taliban dictatorship who have no part in deciding whether terrorists are harbored, we become like the terrorists we oppose. We perpetuate the cycle of retribution and recruit more terrorists by creating martyrs.

[JuniperLea]

8. heh

Yep, I was right. We need a Repug to Human English translation book:)
