Larry King on the Speech. This is good (Graham now on)
Edited on Sun Sep-07-03 08:33 PM by Cush
Judith Miller: No talk of WMDs except that he said Iraq HAD and USED, meaning in the past. There was nothing about the present. Where are they?

Newsweek guy in Iraq: Well Bush said Iraq was central in the War on TError, well that wasn't true before. But it is now.

Lol, now Chritianne is going after him for failing to live up to his promise on Afghanistan. Only 1 billion will go to Afhganistan

Judith Miller: Again, Iraq wans't a Terrorist threat until now

The Oil ministry was secure, but the other ministries weren't. if they had been, the cost would be cheaper.

10. Judith Miller: has she rediscovered her conscience??/
After being spoon-fed total crap by the Chalabi crowd? She ought to remind the viewers that she contributed to some of the false impressions about WMDs and pull a major mea culpa, as long as she's going to yap about the lack of WMDs....

BTW, does W have crooked eyebrows? Should he have gotten a brow wax? Also, his make-up person is awful. He looks like a ghost.

9. "terrible weapons"
At the end of the speech. We've gone from nuclear weapons to 'terrible' weapons. We need to make a huge, big deal out of this. Spread it out on every candidate blog and everywhere possible. As soon as the text is up, get that terrible weapons quote and just smash him with it.

And the rest of the miserable speech given by the miserable failure.

24. "Miserable Failure"
Or, can we just call him "MF" for short, and leave it open for interpretation?

12. MY GOD IT IS COMING TRUE
I've said that once he sinks below 50% as he is, that these whores will realize that people don't want to hear "chimp cheerleading" anymore but want to hear "piss on Bush stories"--ratings, ratings, ratings. AND ONCE THEY RESPOND IN KIND AND PILE ON HE IS TOAST. 45% approval accoring to Zogby will be the bastards highest point from here on out because the whore media just changed the cheerleading outfits to the seek, kill and destroy suits.

17. Bob Graham is on
Edited on Sun Sep-07-03 08:34 PM by Cush
He failed to face the priorities. IRaq and Afghanistan are more important to BUsh than our problems at home. Second, who is going to pay for all this? GW1 was paid for by allies.

21. This was great viewing on CNN tonight
Every one of the journalist they interviewed could hardly hide their disgust with the war and that piece of scum in the White House. I'm going to e-mail my congressman and senators tonight and tell them just what I think about this request for 87 billion to continue waging an illegal war.

25. Graham just said what this Iraq money....
would buy in America....

It is twice the amount we spend in a year on
highway upkeep, public transit.

It is the same amount spent on all public education.

Said the money is needed at home.

27. Graham
I'm optimistic on the war on terror, but we have to stay focused. We lack leadership, the American people haven't been prepared for the costs.

28. Caller wanted to know why our wounded...
are not being reported. Judith Miller gave it
spin.
I heard recently that the wounded of May, June,
and July (can't remember the number but I think
it was over 500) was matched by August alone. In
other words the wounding has picked up drastically
in one month.

be a campaign issue.
