Give me a fucking break! He asked the question because he wanted to. Not that he was coerced!

2. Was his colonel a plant, too?
The Col. of the National Guard battalion said that the vehicles weren't ready for combat, too, according to the NY Times this morning.

4. He's a republican
"100% behind Bush", according to his ex-wife

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6679801/

“It’s all about duty, and he felt compelled to be over there,” Wilson said, adding that both she and her ex-husband voted for Bush in November and support him “100 percent.”

I'll save it for the troops that are smart enough to know WHY they are there.

7. HL Mencken mentioned the voter type
in one of his observances (ie: when enough goofy voters achieve their wish they elect a moron to white house!)....but even blood's thicker than bushit maybe(?)

10. So? Every reporter at Bush's "press conferences" is a plant...
Edited on Thu Dec-09-04 06:40 PM by KansDem
They are put there to simulate a real press conference. Questions are submitted to the White House beforehand; answers are drawn up and given to His Royal Flatulence, who calls on each "reporter" who then asks "the scripted question." Bush even reads off the reporter's name (as if he's calling on them) from a list and then reads the scripted answer! It's quite embarrassing!!

That would make every reporter "a plant..."

So why the brouhaha about this appearance by Rummy?

11. Only one reply needed to this "spin": are troops scrounging to armour-up
their equipment, and if so, why?

(Keep the focus on the issue, not the spin.)

12. doesn't matter. he asked the question for the reporter bec ause
in our current lockdown, only soldiers can ask. it had to be asked and if he didn't want to know the answer, he wouldn't have agreed. what should be shouted down is the idea that only some can ask and others can't.

13. Drudge should know from "plants". His whole career is founded on them.
