Rummy press conference...
I saw today on CNN Rummy and some military guy doing some press conference...now grant it that I just got off my midnight shift...so I was a bit sleepy when I watch it...but the answers they were giving just didn't sound right to me...

Did anyone see this...the answeres they were giving just were not making any sense what-so-ever...

There was a question asked about how many troops were needed and if they didn't get enough would they send more U.S. Troops...the military spokesman said that there is 30ish some coalition forces there right now...I don't get it...there's us, polish, and british forces...who are the others...

Anyone have a link to where I can find the transcripts...?

1. From what I understand....
We bribed some foreign "allies" to sent "troops"...as in we paid a few billion for them to send less than 100 troops each...

British is the only lot worth mentioning...

2. What the press should have asked Rumbo!
Edited on Wed Sep-17-03 05:46 AM by Hubert Flottz
Who is funding the troops from the other countries, whose soldiers are now in Iraq, or are headed for Iraq? The answer my friend is, YOU ARE! If Rumbo can't answer easy questions there is no need to even bring up the hard ones, right?

What freaked me the most about yesterday's prestaged photo op was: Every network including Cspan cut away from the Pentagon photo op at the same moment! It was carried on at least 4 news channels and every one of them dropped it like a hot potato when the 'Goin' Got Rough' for Rumbo and his paid stooge!

Edit}}}}FIRE RUMBO!

3. I just wish
that I wasn't so out of it to understand what was being said...that's why I'm looking for transcripts...

It sounded like to me that they were giving run-around answers...that's why I would like to read the transcripst from this press conference...

Anyone...?

9. They always dodge the truth like it's a rabid dog!
Trouble is their sins are beginning to find them out and they KNOW IT! Rumbo is a flunky whose wad is about shot, and trying to defend the indefensible! The truth is, the liberated are not dancing in the streets like we were promised! The war works about as well as the Tax Cuts for Bush's pals helps put people back to work! These lying people have TONS and TONS of fresh CROW to eat and it tastes real bitter about now!

5. You should not have mentioned this to me. I started watching and want
to throw up. Do they have a bottomless barrel of lies?

6. He doesn't answer questions. He goes around and around.
He twists the questions, when the press say that was not the question, I want to rewind to my question, he gets upset.

7. Did he not say
there was no connection between Sadam & 9/11.?

I found this very telling. Things are starting to unravel.


hopefully

10. We are doing it practically alone,
Edited on Wed Sep-17-03 07:41 AM by morningglory
and it is costing a bundle, so they have a fiction that there is a coalition with Spain, Angola, Poland and Fiji or some such. The Brits are there in force, but note that the media always say "coalition" forces instead of "our troops". So it does not appear that Shithead has alienated the entire universe against us.
