Anyone watching Linda Bilmes on CSPAN? |
|
Kennedy School of Gov't Prof? She's one tough cookie, telling it like it is and knocking down opinions that have been brainwashed into others, i.e., 'they're fighting them over there' blahblahblah. Great job by Ms. Bilmes!

When freepers tried to say she was using "Democrat" statistics, she shot them right down calling the mess in Iraq "bipartisan." And she has solid credentials, too. Too often c-span will stick some newspaper hack on there to pontificate about a subject he or she knows nothing about. This was actually substantive.

2. The eventual monetary figures are staggering, and blame |
|
was laid equally on Dems and repugs. I hope our Dems were listening! She was fair in her opinions but also thinks this whole war is bogus. Also mentioned how many 'terraists' have actually been created as a result. Worth another listen!

Facts are lazy and facts are late Facts all come with points of view Facts don't do what I want them to Facts just twist the truth around Facts are living turned inside out Facts are getting the best of them Facts are nothing on the face of things

5. It was excellent. She was good at explaining all the hidden costs that |
|
the Bushies don't talk about. Answered all the questions in a clear manner and didn't let the Bush Bot crazies get to her.
I hope this study gets alot of air play...because it's frightening that the spending on this Invasion & Occupation is so much more than even our worst imaginings.

6. Did anyone hear her say that a "Private Contrator" gave Atta his Visa? |
|
I think it was Atta that was in the US before 9/11 and that the Government was contracting out to Private Contractors...the immigration work. :eyes:
I hadn't heard that before.
