[in_cog_ni_to]

[oasis]

1. More good news, Tweety won't be there to kick him around.

[kliljedahl]

7. My thought exactly

My thought exactly, maybe we'll get some real questions.


Keith’s Barbeque Central

[Mark Williams]

2. Video Will Be Posted Online Soon

The video of this will be posted over at DEMbloggers.com after it has ended.

[in_cog_ni_to]

3. He'll be on after this commercial!

:bounce:

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. David Gregory is hosting tonight! THIS should be good

until he has Anrea Mitchell on. :puke:

[Cush]

5. kick, on now

[in_cog_ni_to]

6. A memo based on a briefing??? NO it is NOT!

It is the MINUTES from an OFFICIAL meeting.

we should email Gregory and CORRECT that statement! Maybe Smith will. ;)

[in_cog_ni_to]

8. He showed the protests in DC!!

Ha!

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. The reporter is talking about RICHARD CLARKE, PAUL O'NEIL

and Bob Woodward BOOKS! THEY all said the same thing!

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. First question to Smith...WHY did you destroy your notes?

Michael Smith is explaining exactly what he did with the ORIGINAL documents. He shredded the PHOTOCOPIES...NOT the originals!

[indie_voter]

12. YAY!!! n/t

[rocktivity]

10. His name is Michael Smith, and I hope he GALLOWAYS 'em!

rocknation

[kliljedahl]

15. He did, he did, he did

Refuted every objection & doubt.

[in_cog_ni_to]

20. He sure did!

When Blair was at the "Crawford??? Summit??? :rofl: he agreed at THAT time to support the chimp's war. That was in APRIL 2002, wasn't it????

[bj2110]

24. Great rebuttal to the admin's defense that they went to the UN...

after the date of the memo. Smith made the point that they had to go to the UN in order to justify its legality because regime change is internationally illegal.

[Beaverhausen]

13. more details please!

[CatWoman]

14. David Kay coming up next.

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. and James Woolsey.

:puke:

[kliljedahl]

19. This is SO GOOD!!

Thank gawd for no Tweety.


Keith’s Barbeque Central

[leftchick]

17. neo-freak Woolsey up next

gawd... :puke:

[bj2110]

18. I feel like he did a great job. Even though he got slammed right away..

with the "what did you do with the documents question".

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. BUT he explained that PERFECTLY!

He did a great job of explaining EXACTLY what he did with ALL of the documents....originals and photocopies.

[bj2110]

27. Yes he did. Made sure everyone knew that....

no one, Blair, Bush, US, UK had denied to accuracy of the minutes content.

[indie_voter]

31. I was thrilled he was asked!

Straight from the horses mouth so to speak, puts an end to this idiocy! ;)

[CantGetFooledAgain]

21. Smith did very, very well

And, was treated fairly by Gregory.

[oasis]

23. Yes they went to the UN but Bush pulled Hans Blix before inspections were

done. Since no WMD were found, regime change is the only likely conclusion we can come to.

The "We went to the UN" story won't fly.

[oasis]

25. PNACer Woolsey to put spin on it.

[in_cog_ni_to]

29. Exactly.

OH FUCK!!!! Woolsey is talking "pursing phrases" British speak!!!! That is SUCH BULLSHIT!!! Won't fly, Woolsey!

[indie_voter]

36. HELLLLOOO Earth to Woolsey

A BRITISH reporter was just on, there is NO mistaking what it means to him or anybody with a brain.

Keep digging the hole though...

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

54. Woolsey and Kay were no better than

Sean and Rush would have been.

[Donailin]

39. how fucking extensive is this godamned coverup?

good God can they fucking have someone like Richard Clark or Scott Ritter on??

Of course not, they tell the truth.

fucking GE!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

43. It's HUGE!

The ENTIRE repuke party!

[bj2110]

49. No shit. What kind of investigative guests are these....

Why do I give a shit what they say?

[annabanana]

26. Gregory let him finish his sentences

and he got the point across that they only went to the UN in order to get an EXCUSE, and a JUSTIFICATION and a COVER for going to war. That the reason as it stood (regime change) was ILLEGAL under international law and they had to figure out a way to make it "legal".

I was glad that he made it so clear.

[kliljedahl]

28. Don't tell me about "British Usage' Woolsey, you Asshat

Keith’s Barbeque Central

[in_cog_ni_to]

32. THAT was the argument the RWers STARTED with!

They have run out of excuses! They've reverted back to their OLD ONES!

[Moochy]

34. Woolsey

He's saying we could have gone to war whenever we wanted to, legally.
he disagrees it was illegal, and british laywers' panties were just in a bunch.

Fixed: depends on what the meaning of is is.

[kliljedahl]

42. Thought of that, didn't want to go there

Keith’s Barbeque Central

[merbex]

30. It is time to supoeana British people - can we do that?

Fixed doesn't mean fixed to these guys

[in_cog_ni_to]

37. The Senate had Galloway testify. I hope they bring

Michael Smith here too! They won't though. The Brits won't take their bullshit and they know that from having Galloway here. :7

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

33. David, Ask The Question...

...Was the Iraq threat real?

[LSK]

35. did he explain the part about destroying the COPIES of the originals??

I just turned on SOFTBALL and missed him.

[indie_voter]

38. yes! n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

41. YES! He explained the entire thing!

He destroyed the PHOTOCOPIES and gave the ORIGINALS back to his source. That was the first question Gregory asked him.

[SoCalDem]

47. That's the part that bothers me though..

without the originals, OR the photocopies, it opens the door fro speculation..

Anyone brave enough to hand over originals, should not request them back.. Those originals should have been put into a safety deposit box, and left there.

Suppose that the whistleblower gets scared, and destroys the originals....whom to believe then:(

[bj2110]

51. If the content was being denied, that would be one thing. But its not.

[indie_voter]

63. check out raw story for the reason why he gave back the originals

http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Backstory_Confirming_the_Downing_Street_0614.html

[in_cog_ni_to]

64. Not only that, but

only a LIMITED number of people had access to the original documents. It would be pretty easy to narrow down who could have given the info to Smith and then "suicide" him/her like they did David Kelly. :scared:

[CantGetFooledAgain]

40. One look at that guy Woolsey...

...and I know everything I need to know about him. Look at those eyes. Look at that cold stare. That is an evil man.

[bj2110]

45. That's exactly what I thought. You could tell right away he'd be spewing

the RW talking points of the night...

[Moochy]

46. Socks are Woolsey's favorite favorite clothes Sir

He looks like Dobby...

[in_cog_ni_to]

50. OMG! he does!!!

:rofl:

[kliljedahl]

44. Commercial, need a fresh beer & popcorn

Keith’s Barbeque Central

[in_cog_ni_to]

48. In LEGAL terms...Woolsey doesn't think the Americans were wrong.

BULLSHIT!!!!!

[oasis]

56. Gregory's not letting Woolsey change the thrust of the memo.

[bj2110]

60. It's nice to have a moderator actually stay on point & not give in... eom

[in_cog_ni_to]

52. Kay...the memo is a tempest in a tea pot..

what's important is what's happening on the ground in Iraq! Oh brother!

[LSK]

55. i guess the Constitution doesnt mean anything, huh Mr Kay.

Why is this guy such a right wing pansy? He still work under Bolton or something?

[CantGetFooledAgain]

66. How can people say shit like that??

What's going on now is important, and the memo is ALSO important because it provides strong evidence of violations of international and US law.

And why must everybody pretend that "9/11 changed everything"? What 9/11 did was to provide them with the excuse they needed to do everything that they talked about doing before 9/11. Hmmm, that's not the least bit suspicious. :sarcasm:

[LSK]

53. do they have transcripts made available???

[in_cog_ni_to]

58. I'm pretty sure MSNBC has transcripts or it repeats at 10:00 p.m. central

time. :hi:

[SlavesandBulldozers]

57. interesting how Tweety doesn't participate in this

what's Tweety's excuse this evening?

on edit: not that I'm watching it or anything, can't stand any of those shows. but am just curious at to why Tweety's out.

[in_cog_ni_to]

59. Don't know. He's a weasel. n/t

[SlavesandBulldozers]

62. didn't he do the promo for it earlier

because i know people were referencing this show earlier this afternoon, apparently after seeing the promo for it. was there any hint that Tweety wasn't going to be the host?

[in_cog_ni_to]

65. Well, the graphics from MSNBC that were posted here

had Tweety in them. :shrug: I don't know what happened to him. Maybe KKKRove threatened him.

[oasis]

61. Tweets wouldn't have the guts to challenge Woolsey as Gregory did.

Gregory is a journalist asking probing questions.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

68. yes Gregory is solid

I will never forget Gregory asking * if he ever made any mistakes. That was a great moment.

I do find Tweety's absence rather suspect.

[bj2110]

69. He definitely was on the promos for the piece... interesting...

[oasis]

67. Newsweek guy on Olberman show makes good point "No war plans"

is what the Bush's were saying all along.
