[AussieInCA]

[LittleApple81]

1. I don't get CNN. A little summary, please. Thanks. n/t

[President Jesus]

21. is he a dummy? I dunno, maybe. Is he evil? You bet!

2. Lots of laughter...

a bunch of rhetorical questions...

will say golly about fifty times...

will claim everything is peachy...

will end the conference with a hearty laugh and a "you bet"...

than will go back to slaughtering civilians while stroking his hairless cat...

[AussieInCA]

3. cnn just had this piece on employee training at haliburton

the last chance to not take the job has the HR manager showing 2 powerpoints:

1st one: truck with a rocket whole in the side of the container...result..this guy made it

2nd one: truck with cabin blown up....this guy didn't make it.


now sign here pls.


sheesh

[AussieInCA]

4. approved extension 20k troops there up to 120days

if within 90days they still need more troops, other forces will be brought in from other places in the world.

we regret having to extend them,

but the country is at war and must do what is necessary to succeed.

[nolabels]

25. These effing fools don't and won't have enough ever

Even if they drafted the entire US population. I am so pissed. In contrite terms, they have basically declared war on anyone that don't support whatever corporate whims they have.

Wake up America, these wars we are fighting is for Multinational Corporate dominance of the world.

These bastards should just be saying:

"If you are not trading in hundred of thousands of shares on a large stock exchange, then you are not with us"

[AussieInCA]

5. small band of terrorists will not determine the will of 25M Iraqi people

[Vickers]

6. "we are engaged in a test of will"

Well, dumbass, unless you are ready to pilot a plane in to a skyscraper, you ain't got a chance on this one.

[soup]

7. quick notes

challenge in Fallujah contained

terrorists and leftovers

Coalition has more than 30 nations in Iraq standing firm

137,000 U.S.

approved Gen Abizaid's request to extend about 20,000 - roughly 1/4 guard

If longer than the up to 90 days - replace with other forces from elsewhere in world.

regret having to extend. but we're at war.

adjust forces as necessary

[AussieInCA]

8. so 135k forces there now in all the double speak

rummy: I can't predict the future..blah blah


yeah but you can have some plans for alternate outcomes dushbag

[AussieInCA]

9. rummy to press: ask an original question

because I don't want to answer that one lol

regarding who gets handover on June 30

going on about Brahami

[berner59]

10. Still no real answer...

Brahami is looking into it...he's talking to people... Don't you think they would have figured this out before?? They really sound clueless...

[AussieInCA]

11. rummy: who decided to close the newspaper/sadr

CPA approved arrest,newspaper question not answered

[AussieInCA]

12. loss of bridge significant, but not effected supply lines

[berner59]

15. we don't kill civilians...

oh yeah??? That will come back to bite him...

Aren't hospitals reporting lots of civilians wounded and dead??

[AussieInCA]

13. don;t know if the fighters killed are foreign

[soup]

16. but does know they hate freedom. n/t

[AussieInCA]

14. rummy: aljazeera is outrageous, wrong, etc.

Our forces don't do that..but we can't confirm because we are not in the city. (on civilian deaths)

[Vickers]

17. Yes, how horrible of them to show the bodies of civilians

that we have killed!

[AussieInCA]

18. what mistakes rummy: (same question as given to bush)

not enough time to answer this.


Iraq, couldn't anticipate the situation today.


decades of command economic represive system..it is an uncertain road. (and we knew this..compromising, negotiating is foreign to them because they are used to being told what to do)

[AussieInCA]

19. rummy getting grumpy and angry boy mode now

press asked if it's contained why do you need extra troops. Circular answer..because that's how they are contained. (rummy acting like how could you not work that out stupid reporter)

[AussieInCA]

20. you can report it that way to make people concerned

or report it accurately like I said.

Angryboy alert.

[soup]

22. hunh? what did he say

90 days, 120 days, re-extended - do whatever's needed - I didn't catch that.

[Senryu Sid]

23. Rummy: People are fungible!

At last, he shows what he thinks of the armed forces.
Disgusting!

32. He Called the Troops Fungible?!

What a fucking miserable piece of shit. Oh, our troops are just a commodity, easily interchangeable. What a sack of shit that man is. If there is a hell, his ticket is punched.

That ought to be good for morale. Not.

[AussieInCA]

24. rummy: there is a problem with the hearing aids in the room

what a dick..sheesh. Kerry should use that.

[soup]

28. He's peeved because nobody likes his circular answers.

Oooh, one reporter just said-
my hearing aid has a new battery, sir. Go Spunky!!!

[berner59]

29. what crap...

They keep saying the "thugs" are attacking because of the June 30th deadline...bull!!! Press calling them out on why if they thought there would be increased violence (like they claim) then why didn't they prepare with enough troops instead of telling troops that they are coming home then no they have to stay...huh huh??? Answer that Rummy - of course he can't...

[Vickers]

26. "my hearing aid HAS new batteries, sir"

lol

one of the reporters

[AussieInCA]

27. it's all a terrorist attack thug frenzy against freedom

the upswing in violence, why not enough troops?

Press: my hearing aid has a new battery sir, if you didn't anticipate this, why wait till now to delay exodus troops and increase troops.

[AussieInCA]

30. that's it over now

Rummy should of worn bushies tie...probably would of helped him BS better

[AussieInCA]

31. CNN: Air Force general analysis

Adding more divisions will be just like Vietnam..just more targets. Iraq's need to secure the country themselves.
