McCain showed almost no emotion, just droning on and on...

He is such an ego maniac.

13. I love my senator

All my life he's represented me. He helped my brother get into NROTC a long time ago. Now he's trying to get that same man home.

I couldn't ask for a better Senator. He made my cry today.

15. McCain rears his ugly white head again--

Give the Surge a chance! Kennedy's wrong about maintaining an "indefinite presence", it's about giving the surge a chance to morph into an...indefinite presence. But that's OK, because it's a new strategy.

17. Teddy is on with Ed Schultz NOW! Says overwhelming majority

of the people are against the war ... the repubs are abusing the rules of the Senate ... trying to insure that the minority is going to use its power to prevent issues from reaching the floor ...


regarding face to face talks with Iran - Ted says major shift ... quotes his bro, never fear to negotiate ... US beginning these conversations makes a great deal of sense ...

Are Iranians killing Americans in Iraq? Teddy says there's no doubt they are enabling the Iraqi's, helping with weapon supply ... issue is do we want another conflict, will this admin bring us into another conflict ...

We know now the current war is the wrong war at the wrong time... Al Queda stronger now than when we started ...

General Pace says troop buildup - Teddy says political figures in the Bush admin are urging it, this is actually the 4th surge ... they kept the NIE Report - shows the increase in violence and no progress. War would have long, long been over ... will take a political settlement.

This admin has failed - no armor, failure at Walter Reed, now they're talking about escalation, i don't think it's going to happen


Repubs trying to delay the majority in the House and Senate, we can't let a small minority of repubs to hold the people hostage.

Bring the soldiers home to the heroes welcome they deserve.

18. They're off of Iraq--on to "morning business" and then recess.
