Where the hell is the press conference with the soldiers ?
Everything about this urgent mouth farting reprobates "urgent Iraq announcement" was rushed together to pull every station away from carrying these soldiers live.

If I could be any more pissed, you wouldn't want to see it.

1. I'm really pissed, too.
I NEVER turn my TV on this early in the morning...

I did this morning because I knew the soldiers were having a press conference and what do I get? This treasonous, rat bastard spewing his BS over and over and over and over again. Ugh.....:banghead:

2. To Bush, the soldiers aren't worth a nickle's worth of dog meat.

3. Is there any word of it?
Are they just going to ignor this too? KO had one of the soldiers on last night, maybe he will carry it tonight. Seems that he is the only one we can depend on for any news. This is just so deliberate they knew that hearing from the soldiers would be so bad for them.

4. It was supposed to happen at 11:00 am EDT.
Could be one of the reasons Bush did the press conference today; to keep it off TV.

7. Maybe, my ass.
They put the wood tick out there a half hour before and made sure he stalled for a half hour plus after 11:00....the exact time their press conference was scheduled. To make sure they preemeted the lead up coverage, the actual start, the conference, and questions following.

They're so transparent, they don't even try to hide it anymore.

5. CNN - Interview with soldier?
CNN had a teaser about an upcoming interview with an active duty soldier who was speaking out. That could be it. They said it would be up in the next hour, maybe noon cst.

Is that dog an Austrailian Cattle Dog? We had one for 7 years and she would make that face too. Sweet dog around the family but she had no patience for outsiders.

6. Ugh. I just woke up and was hoping to find out something about that...
and I see that * had a press conference. I most definitely agree with the sign I saw at a protest a few months back: "The only Bush I trust is my own"

What a heartless, soulless bastard.
