Rep. Jim Moran is on Hardball and he's kickin' ass/taking names. Watch

[babylonsister]

the re-run if you're able. He's 'debating' Phil Gingrey which is a joke in itself.

[Justitia]

1. He did great. He is always great w/Iraq stuff - very concise & to the point.

I love it when he talks about the sham this war is.

Notice how stumblebum Phil was left with his thumb up his own ass.

[Bongo Prophet]

2. Oh yes, he is kicking that Georgia peach around!

Gingrey, that is (sans Village People mustache)


Jim Moran is another fighting Dem that gets overlooked sometimes.
Smack Pow....

[Bongo Prophet]

3. Oh, and K&R for the rerun crowd! n/t

[MagickMuffin]

6. Yeah, baby that was a thing of beauty....

Did you notice how Jim just shook his head with Philo used the same ol die and tried "Cut and Run" meme???

And before Jim even mentioned the fact our troops aren't even getting that much training as the Iraqi's, I brought it up to my mate. When he brought it up I was elated. After all our troops are only getting a couple weeks training before being shipped overseas to fight in an unjust war of Mad king Boy George's choosing.

Yea, Jim.

Keith should have a spotlight for the most Best Person in the World.

Maybe Best, Better, Bestest

4. Moran mentioned the Iraqi military attacking our soldiers after we train them.

I just saw this over at Andrew Sullivan's blog:

Iraqi troops fighting alongside Americans set the GIs up, in an incident last January. Five Americans were killed. The attackers were helped by Iranian forces:

The investigation reveals several new details about the assault, including:

•Iraqi police suddenly vanished from the government compound before the shooting started.

•Attackers, evidently briefed on how U.S. forces would defend themselves, bottled up more than three dozen soldiers in a barracks and headquarters complex using a combination of smoke and fragment grenades and satchel charges to blow up Humvees.

•Gunmen knew exactly where to find and abduct U.S. officers.

•Iraqi vendors operating a PX and barbershop went home early.

•A back gate was left unlocked and unguarded.

This is salient, it seems to me:

It's worth noting that Army officials disclosed none of this when Brig. Gen. Kevin Bergner, a former White House aide, briefed the press this month. Bergner failed to mention that an internal Army investigation had found that the Iraqi police the US troops are supposed to be training and cooperating with played a direct role in the ambush.

Instead, Bergner blamed Iran. "The Quds Force, an elite unit of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards, helped plan and direct it with Iraqi militants, said Brig. Gen. Kevin Bergner, a military spokesman," USA Today reports. "The Quds Force, he said, supplied Shiite militias with weapons and up to $3 million a month in aid."

Most lies in wartime are designed to trick the enemy. Bush's lies of omission are designed to trick the American people. If you can blame it all on Iran, you don't have to concede the fact that Iraq's military forces and police are extensions of sectarian militias. That would be off-message. Grrrr.

I just saw the Moran interview a bit ago. He was unfortunately right on the money, wasn't he?

[Pirate Smile]

7. Yes. Our soldiers are supposed to train and work with these guys.

Ugghhh. :(

[Justitia]

8. CNN is spinning this VERY HARD as these police acting as agents for IRAN.

Unfuckingbelievable.

9. Repeat on now
