YEEHAA I was on C-SPAN!!!

[slor]

I asked the guest Mr. Cha about the ABB helping to build N.Korea's first Nuke reactor and the fact that Donald Rumsfeld was on the board!!!

[JNelson6563]

1. Good for you!!!

What was the answer to your question?

Julie

[Mel]

3. I heard it

the guy didn't know about Rumsfield. Amazing! isn't it? NOT

[cherryperry]

5. OMIGOD, MEL!

You mean Mr. Cha isn't aware of Rumsfeld?

[Mel]

12. no not the fact that Rummy

was on the ABB board that sold the nuclear goods to NK, no the guy Cha was not aware of that. Some expert, uh?

[SoCalDem]

17. I heard you too...Congrats.......They always "play dumb"...

That's their schtick.. They go on as an expert and then speak only in generalities.. When callers bring up specifics, they weasel out of answering.. They are only on to push THEIR agenda, not answer questions..

The format of the call in sections is bad too, because you call in and lob a "bomb" at them, and then you are long gone, and seeting because the ducked it, and moved on.. They should take fewer calls, and allow a follow up..:(

The day I caught the energy guy off guard when I asked him about a year old article about his e-mails he refused to turn over, and I asked him if he had shredded them, was priceless. His eyes got saucer-sized as I quoted him....

[slor]

4. I did not hear his response...

due to the mute of TV. But I just prepped my VCR. One question to you guys. I can't find my info for Herr rumsfuk and his involvement with ABB. I was correct that it was ABB, right?

[Mel]

11. you are correct

The Two Faces of Rummy (my version of a headline)

See that's the part that gets me the guy on C-Span is suppose to be a professor at what Georgetown a supposed expert on NK, right? Yet, I someone without a degree can find out this information and he can't?
What's the point of Cha even opening his yap if he doesn't know something like that?

Anyone worth their weight in salt would know and understand that things such as Rummy sitting on the board of ABB that sold the nuclear crap to NK is a darn important piece of information. Even if he doesn't think it's important to working on the problem with NK the very least he should do is know it just makes him look ill informed and makes one wonder what else he doesn't know that could be important.

You know I tuned him out after that and turned him off not long after. I'm not just making this part up either.

2. I heard you! You're famous!

[onecitizen]

[seemslikeadream]

10. Isn't it fun being famous!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

13. Heard you.

And he "cha-cha'd" right by the question. What do you expect from a DOD analyst. Getting the question out there is half the battle. Good job.

[seemslikeadream]

14. Replay is up now

I'll be watching this time.

[slor]

15. Thanks to All..

I am so glad I found this website...I used to believe my wife and I were alone. I was sooo excited when they answered the phone...I even woke up my wife (very dangerous to do that). We jumped and laughed afterwards. It feels great to be "famous" LOL. And when I become President, I promise to try all the right-wingers for war-crimes!

[blm]

19. I've done that a few times on Saturday mornings.

Heheh. It does feel great to get through.

Once, I was up early in my computer room and lambasted Bill Gertz about Moon. My husband walked in about 15 mins. after I hung up and repeated my words. I was so embarassed, I thought he was sleeping but he was laying in bed with Cspan on.

Oh well....the important thing is that we do what we can. Salute to all who do what they can to get rid of Bush!

[sistersofmercy]

20. Great job! I know how you were feeling about being alone about

this war, I was also extremely happy to find this sight! But you know, I have talked to a lot of friends since, none of us were saying much about the war, ends up we were all feeling the same way. I afraid to speak out about the egregiousness but we are now! When I went to the bookstore to buy Al Franken's book proudly and sarcastly proclaimed "I'm just doing my part to support my fellow traitors!"

[Eloriel]

16. This is amazing

I was just reading this, then turned my attn to C-Span and heard the tail end of your question (lovely, smokey voice, btw), and his non-answer answer. However, the host asked how you heard that and you told them to just google ABB + Rumsfeld. WAY TO GO!!

And welcome to DU!

Eloriel

[huckleberry]

18. OMG - I just heard you!!

I wrote down what you said about ABB and Rumsfeld so I could GOOGLE it. And then the host asked you where you got your information and you told him how to GOOGLE it!! You were great!!
