Larry Wilkerson is up on C-SPAN!!

[The Witch]

now!! watch! comment!

Edit: kick too!

[WestHoustonDem]

1. Watching! and kick n/t

[Jack from Charlotte]

71. Wonder why WH slime machine hasn't gone after him as well as.....

Brent Scocroft? Anyone have a guess? I'm guessing Scrocroft was a one time deal so they just ignored it but this guy has been hammering the AWOL/moron for 2 weeks now.

[The Witch]

2. "I'm a very unfortunate Republican"

voted for * twice, came to the decision to say this "with great pain" despite loyalties, friendships.

[Career Prole]

3. "It starts with a very sad republican..."

This is gonna rock!

[snowbird42]

4. This is powerful stuff

[The Witch]

5. "If * would come out and say 'I made the decision and I have a plan'..."

...I would be disabused of my views. He would have to tell me he made the decision to authorize American troops to depart from Geneva conventions.

[seemslikeadream]

6. It just doesn't get ANY better than this

[merbex]

7. Well, who needs Fitzmas - Wilkerson is providing a helluva moral

indictment of this administration

He is ripping them in dramatic fashion

[Neil Lisst]

8. Wilkerson is AWESOME! he's machine gunning the cabal

a true American hero

[Ivote]

11. Watching HOOOOOORAAAAAAAY

and a :kick:

[The Witch]

9. Is he married? Only Republican I'd ever marry...

besides Fitz of course.... :loveya:

[Tesla]

16. Man, he better be careful!!!!

These guys are backed up against the wall!!


The tapestry was appalling me""

[FreedomAngel82]

63. I agree

He probably feels it's safe to come out now though because of all the problems they're going underway. Karl Rove doesn't have any type of power anymore over people.

[WiseButAngrySara]

37. He mentioned his wife urging him to 'go with his conscience...' n/t

[FreedomAngel82]

64. Nice

It's the women cleaning up this mess! To his wife! :toast:

[WiseButAngrySara]

77. Yes! (Except for the Karen Hughes, the Kay Bailey Hutchisons, etc

and etc and etc...We have to clean up after them also!)

[merbex]

10. Fasten your seatbelts, this guy is causing a seismic shift all by

himself

[Ivote]

17. Is The Tetonic Plate About To Erupt?

:kick:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

12. Just turned it on! Thanks for the heads up Witch! :)

[highplainsdem]

13. He obviously doesn't want to blame Bush directly after voting for him

twice.

Editing to thank you for the heads-up. Even though Wilkerson is hoping Dubya isn't responsible, the rest of what he's saying is a scathing critique of the administration.

[Punkingal]

22. Yeah, it has to be the Veep, he thinks...

I think he is giving the Chimp too much benefit of the doubt. And anyway, Bush has to bear some responsibility for what his people do.

[converted_democrat]

14. Thanks for the heads up!! I don't want to miss this....n/t

[merbex]

15. Heads are exploding all over DC and in fundie land

Is Mr Wilkerson prepared for the smearing that is sure to come his way???

[The Witch]

18. host going to Powell's UN presentation now n/t

[Mist]

19. Lays the responsibility for okaying torture on Cheney and Rumsfeld

Says he has no choice but to think they're responsible ("can't believe the Pres. was part of that decision) (concerning recent vote in Congress re: torture of enemies)

[Tesla]

21. "Was indeed FALSE"!!!!

[FreedomAngel82]

65. Oh you can believe it

This stuff goes all the way to the top. At the end of the day Rumsfeld and Cheney still work for Bush.

[merbex]

20. Think about who he is: Powell's Libby, B*'s Rove and whoever

Rummy's asswipe is

[The Witch]

23. dirita maybe?

is that asshat still around? :)

[Tesla]

24. Jeffy!!! haha

[The Witch]

25. I don't want to think about Rummy having sex with anything.... eww

[merbex]

26. Hope his wife doesn't work for the CIA because they are about to

smear him, his 3rd cousin and his paperboy

He is their worst nightmare

[Tesla]

28. Man, detainees!!!!

He's hitting them everywhere!!!!

[LizW]

27. This is really heartbreaking

He sounded almost choked up when the interviewer asked him if he had any regrets about coming forward. He is really saddened about what has happened to the country under a president he voted for.

[qanda]

29. I cannot believe a Republican made me cry

Him saying that his wife told him not to give up just brought a tear to my eye.

[Tesla]

32. "If they had records, would they be there"

Man, he knows they have been burning documents....

[earthside]

30. Powerful

Wilkerson's obvious reluctance to say these things makes his case even more credible and substantial and persuasive.

The Bushites and radical Republicans are in big, big trouble as this fellow's message gets wider and wider attention.

[The Witch]

31. 1st call from a republican "I respect your work but it's misguided."

Comparing it to Reagan's fight against communism.

[merbex]

33. And so it starts, first caller is a Repug - Mr Wilkerson you are about to

feel the fury of the far out looney right

[FreedomAngel82]

66. Yep

Sadly. I wonder if anybody else will jump ship too?

[holboz]

34. I love it when a caller thinks he has more insight than...

someone who has been working behind the scenes in the government with people actually making these policies for YEARS AND YEARS.
Um, I think Mr. Wilkerson knows what the real objectives of these people are.

[Tesla]

35. That guy that called has no idea what

"Reciprocity" is!!!

You do it, we do it....

take the high ground dude, that's the way we used to be!!!!

[KharmaTrain]

36. What A Contrast To That Meat Puppet Earlier

I'm curious what Armitage thinks about this matter...I have a feeling Wilkerson's speaking for him as well.

The no-prisoner's sliming of anyone who attacks this regime just digs its hole deeper.

[highplainsdem]

38. Good for that caller telling him he's "a true patriot."

[Tesla]

39. They announced the whole Harriet thing to distract from Larry!!

Look over here!!

[The Witch]

41. but on goes Larry. they better let him speak longer.

I will rifle off an e-mail to journal to tell them they better extend his time there.

[Algorem]

40. on NPR too,at 10am-

http://wamu.org/programs/dr/05/10/27.php

10:00 U.S. Troops in Iraq
With American deaths in Iraq now at 2,000 and counting, Diane and her guests talk about the U.S. commitment to stability in Iraq and to bringing the troops home.

Guests
Max Boot, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations

Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell

[Tesla]

44. Man he's saying he knows how close we came to losing our

Freedom of Speech!!!


Now he's onto Harriet....
"How do you go from Dooropener in the WH to SCOTUS!!!""

[Skidmore]

48. I missed that part. Can someone recap?

Sorry, had to take a phone call.

[WiseButAngrySara]

61. Thanks for this info. Algorem! .....n/t

[holboz]

42. GO LARRY!

Eloquently said, his comments about dissent.

[merbex]

43. How do you go from Door opener at WH to SC Justice?

WOW

[chat_noir]

45. Re: Meirs withdrawal

"How do you go from door-opener...?"

[Mist]

46. I don't think the Miers thing is a distraction--that's a genuine breaking

news story. * accepts her withdrawal because of the papers the Senate requested. Whatever could be in those papers? <sarcasm>

[The Witch]

47. Thanks to whoever rec'd this

Afraid this will get lost amid the OMG HARRIET WITHDREW HOLY CRAPness

:nopity: see ya, Harry :nopity:

[Tesla]

49. Man!! I am crying!!! This man is a true HERO!!!!!

"Too few soldiers, too few weapons"

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

51. He has me crying here too. The Truth always does that to me. eom

[The Witch]

50. "I think we have a real good chance at martial law!"

...if we have another attack

[babylonsister]

52. His scenarios are frightening, but I'm glad someone's

saying it! Nom!

[Tesla]

56. He's scaring the poop outa me!!!!

But I'm glad this is being recorded for history!!!

"Possibly Prosecutors looking at this" YEAH!!!

"Crimial Aspect"


This man is sent from HEAVEN!!!

He wants to sleep at night, and go to heaven when he dies!!!!


I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!

[The Witch]

53. "I suspect * made up his mind to go to war even before he was Prez"

:wow:

[babylonsister]

55. PNAC, anyone? World domination?? nt

[Skidmore]

54. R caller basically saying that Wilkerson just needs to

get with the program--get comfortable with the * Doctrine of preemptive strikes--then he will have no problems with his conscious regarding when to execute war.

[highplainsdem]

57. "Drink the Kool-aid, and you'll feel better." Yeah, right...

Thank God Wilkerson has both a brain and a conscience.

[Tesla]

58. "We had virtually NO PLAN"

"Taking this a day at a time"

[Pacifist Patriot]

75. *slapping forehead* So THAT's my problem....

I just haven't gotten comfortable yet. What an idiotic crock!

[ewagner]

59. Paranoia striking

thanks for this post because just as Wilkerson started to speak, our local cable company LOST CSPAN!!!!

It's still off the air here....

That and Democracy Now occassionally disappears from local cable access channel (screen goes blank or audio disappears)

:tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat:

[Tesla]

60. God Bless Mr. Wilkerson.....keep him safe.....

[0007]

62. Very powerful stuff. Lawrence Wilkerson is laying it out

in cold hard facts.

[tuvor]

67. Who's gonna see/read about this outside of CSPAN viewers?

Do many people even know who Larry Wilkerson is?

This ignorant Canadian is just wondering.

[Pacifist Patriot]

69. This ignorant American just had to Google him...

and I'd consider myself marginally more aware than most of my neighbors.

Interesting article. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/19/AR2005101902246.html

[tuvor]

70. Oh, right. Him. Saw him on a TDS clip this week. Seemed a bit nutty.

"Nutty" may not be the best word, but if you saw the clip, you'd know what I mean.

Maybe he'll get wider exposure and be less, uh, "dramatic" than what I saw on TDS. That'd be nice.

(Thanks for the link, BTW.)

[Sparkman]

76. Good WashPost article on Larry Wilks'Booth--Bush's assisin!! Thks P.P.!

[Stephanie]

73. Only the hard core like us are listening now

But this stuff inevitably trickles up to the mainstream, as you are witnessing with the Plame case.

[kentuck]

68. He says he has no evidence but he believes Bush planned on Iraq

...invasion before he came to office.

[wryter2000]

72. Left coast here

I missed it! I hope they'll archive the video. :cry:

[mod mom]

74. BEWARE: Wilkerson also said Poppy (HW) Bush was one of the best all time

Presidents.

I am afraid this might be an attempt to get Poppy, Baker and Crowcroft back into play. We need to rid this country of BFEE FOREVER!
