[doublethink]

1. My only comment ...... at this time .......

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1776435

[Solly Mack]

2. Thank you

[Trouser Trout]

10. Pence: Remember, this is your testimony, your words.

So much BS; Bush can't take bad news, so there can be no honesty from anyone reporting to him. It's sad to have to behave this way to the Boy King.

[POAS]

3. and the beat goes on!

[Beaverhausen]

4. Is it me or have way more repubs been asking questions than democrats?

I haven't watched all the way through...

[POAS]

9. The repukes are pandering not

questioning.

Just my little nit-pic!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

15. There are some Democrats that have been so like the Republicans that I can't quite

tell the difference.

ie ...Snyder Dem from Arkansas..Petraeus and Crocker are all star team.

[Solly Mack]

5. OK...no one serves the nation by lying to the nation

now I know that's a hard one for a politician to swallow...for obvious reasons...but let's get that straight right now...

[POAS]

6. "I took control of the electrons"???

:wtf:

[Breeze54]

14. I know!! WTF was THAT all about??

:rofl:

Were those blue electrons or red electrons? :shrug: :P

[POAS]

16. Don't know about red or blue BUT

I'll bet they weren't free electrons!

[Breeze54]

20. That's an old techie joke!

:P

We used to use it on new techs, wet behind the ears!

"Could you please go in the stock room and get us a bucket of blue electrons?" :rofl:

[POAS]

39. Machinists send them for left-handed monkey wrenches!

[Breeze54]

69. Another good one!

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

7. ewwww, Mike Pence. I'm so glad all these republicans had their own special time

with the general in Iraq, it makes the ass kissing so much more realistic. Sheesh, what a bunch of fanboys.

[goodgd_yall]

8. Who's the kiss-ass talking now? n/t

[Graybeard]

12. Mike Pence - R and lobbing up a nice big juicy soft-ball.

These guys have no shame!

[goodgd_yall]

27. Thanks. I'm working on a deadline and trying to take in some of the hearing at the same time. n/t

[Solly Mack]

11. Petraeus and Crocker have no need for bathroom breaks - Pence is

cleaning them both up nicely

[Solly Mack]

13. 10 years from now - " Remember Anbar!. We had Anbar!"

[POAS]

17. Finally the GAO report comes up!

[Graybeard]

18. Bob Wexler up now...go...go...go!

General I question your facts.

[in_cog_ni_to]

19. Go WEXLER!!!! Kick some ass!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

25. He's my mom's Rep and Randi Rhodes and he rocks!!!! eom

[nashville_brook]

21. wexler. wow.

calling P out.

[The Doctor.]

22. Thank you Rep. Wexler!

"This testimony today is eerily similar..."

[rodeodance]

Dem. Wexler up----WHOW--he is doing very well-----told P. that he does NOT

question his patriotism, but saying his information is NOT credible.

[rodeodance]

28. talking of INcrease in IRaqi deaths---not decrease as P. say.

[POAS]

To paraphrase

You are entitled to your opinion, but not your own facts.

[Solly Mack]

23. call it what it is - lies

[The Doctor.]

26. "70% of Iraqis say the surge is not working!" -Wexler rocks.

[POAS]

24. Wexler is hot!

[PCIntern]

30. Rising star in the Party.

His outrage during the Palm Beach Recount was memorable as well.

[Mojorabbit]

31. OMG

go Wexler!

[Breeze54]

29. Yell at them Wexlar!! Woot!!!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Kick their asses!!!!

[eleny]

32. Wexler compares Petreaus's assertons to Gen. Westmoreland's

Oh my god.

[POAS]

Rightly so!!!!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

35. That was powerful. eom

[Solly Mack]

33. governments that torture don't have any credibility

[L. Coyote]

45. except with other governments that torture

[Solly Mack]

47. nah..that's just mutual protection against charges

[Breeze54]

34. "How many more names will be added to the wall, General?" -- Rep. Wexlar

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[IamyourTVandIownyou]

[Miss Marmelstein]

[Solly Mack]

[L. Coyote]

46. Yeah, any year now!

[Solly Mack]

48. exactly...lol!!!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

40. OMG, a thoughtful Republican..the Rep from Camp Lejune.

[POAS]

41. Is that an example of an oxymoron?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

42. lol! :) eom

[Breeze54]

43. That sounded like a gunshot!

Who's slamming the doors? :shrug:

[MAGICBULLET]

44. I just thought the exact same thing!!!

[Graybeard]

53. MAGICBULLET replies to a gunshot question. LOL

You can't make this stuff up.:rofl:

[Breeze54]

61. DUzy Award!! LMAO!!

[Graybeard]

63. Thanks Breeze54!

See you at the Truthseekers.:hi:

[Breeze54]

64. Hey there!

I hope I nominated it correctly, sent link via PM. :shrug:

See you, definately, at the TruthSeekers thread tonight! ;)

[Graybeard]

49. Rep. Engel-NY "the rosy scenarios never come true".

Showing Petreaus a scenario he wrote 3 years ago. Nothing he wrote happened. Why believe you now?

[Solly Mack]

50. so progress means more Iraqis are dying?

and that's good because they are in uniform?

[Solly Mack]

51. Ooohhh....Petraeus is a realist! Got that? He's a realist!

[POAS]

54. Which means he understands that

he better not rock the boat..........or else!

[Solly Mack]

52. Oh, it's professional alright...

professional bullshit

[zabet]

55. Effing NBC is highlighting

Betrayus' white house talking points. Bring 35,000
troops home.

Dems dissappointed?!? :wtf:

Say Betrayus wants to reassess in March.

[EVDebs]

56. General Electric wouldn't happen to have defense related business ?

http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?list=type&type=16

[zabet]

59. Yeah they would.

I just could not get the Dems disappointed remark.
Wanted to let everyone know it was already being
spun on MSM.

[Solly Mack]

57. Damn...the bullshit-fest is over. Quick..someone lie to me! I'll need a fix!

[EVDebs]

66. Uh, "It'll all be over soon" ? Howzat ? n/t

[Solly Mack]

67. I said I needed a fix...not to OD :P

lol

[EVDebs]

70. Here's some good ol' fashioned Nixon B.S. served up warm on a bun...

http://www.buzzflash.com/articles/alerts/282

Found this on another post and thought you'd enjoy it !

[Solly Mack]

71. LOL! Thanks!

That should hold me over until the next Tony Snow presser

[L. Coyote]

72. Bush was elected.

[Solly Mack]

73. See now..that was just mean

lol

[Mojorabbit]

58. That last

woman congressperson was great.

[Graybeard]

60. She threw Petreaus's words right back at him.

Quoted the anti-insurgency manual that he wrote, "the attitudes of the populace are very important" and then talked about the latest polls in Iraq showing most people thimk security is WORSE since the surge and most people want US troops out of Iraq now. The Gen. did not get a chance to answer but Crocker pooh-poohed any poll in Iraq. Does anyone know who that Rep. was?

[Scooter24]

62. Sanchez D-California

[Graybeard]

65. Thanks Scooter24.

Too bad the General didn't get to answer the question. It was directed at him.

[Breeze54]

68. The hearing appears to be in repeat now....
