whos watching Tweety?? Gen Batiste has really drank the koolaid

[LSK]

Whoa!

This is a decades long war against the jihadists? Iraq is just a phase? We need a war tax? We need to dedicate more to the effort??

:wtf:

Tweety seems to have taken the blue pill today thou, asking tough questions.

Harold Ford on later too.

1. DH couldn't stand it so we swtiched to a rerun of Hogan's Heros

til KO comes on

[Mika]

2. 911 --> Iraq

He's an idiot.

[shoopnyc]

3. What's going on with him?

[Mika]

4. Tweety asked "(we need to ) stand up against whom?"

Gen Batiste answers "it doesn't matter".

:wtf:

[Tansy_Gold]

9. What is this, the latest "kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out"??

Sheesh, what insanity!

Has anyone suggested maybe we might want to at least TRY to TALK to the leaders of these people, rather than just killing them all?

I'm astonished, truly astonished, at the depth of stupidity displayed in that one individual.

5. i am as shocked as tweety is! who has gotten to batiste? eom

[babylonsister]

6. I thought Tweets did good on calling him on his militarism. nt

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. Yup.

Nuttier than a fruitcake.

[shoopnyc]

8. In a weird way he has pushed Tweety...

[Nimrod2005]

14. Yes becasue Tweetie has had these same discussions with him before

and this was NOT his view then? It is soooooo strange, something is up!!!

[Blue_In_AK]

18. Thank you.

I thought maybe I had been confused about what he was saying just a few weeks ago. That was a most strange interview.

[Bretttido]

10. That guy is a complete moron

He simply would not answer the questions and would go back to his obvious talking points. I could see his pupils moving back and forth; he was obviously reading his talking-points from a teleprompt. Whoever was pulling his strings was a Bushy.

[Bobbie47]

11. Tweety should of asked

Batiste if our interest over there is their oil.

[Skidmore]

12. Wonder how much stock in defense and security companies

that General owns or how many job offers he's had from those industries.

[LSK]

17. I would love to see him ask that question

Oh please let Malloy get a TV show!

:rofl:

[Nimrod2005]

13. YES, what the fuck happened to him? how can he be saying this now?

So fucking weird to be hearing this out of him? This was NOT his position few weeks ago???????

Call me crazy, but I think he knows something we don't know...Some fucking plot is about to unfold...

[NCarolinawoman]

21. Yeah, he kind of seemed like a different person.

I really had a hard time following him. I understand those who want to salvage something in the Middle East so the WHOLE AREA doesn't end up in war,conflict, refugees, oil wells on fire, environmental degradation, genocide etc.; however, he seemed to think the only answer was a military solution. I didn't get it.

[LSK]

15. Harold Ford on now

[Bitwit1234]

16. How many different groups

I would like to know how many different groups we have fought against in Iraq...First it was the Saddam loyalists. Then it was terrorist. Then it was insurgents, now it is sectarians. So the last thing the army is talking about is we have changed to jhaids. No wonder we aren't getting anyplace we don't know which group to fight.

[Minnesota_Lib]

19. Yes. Saw him. Luckily he is retired. I can't stomach the thought of...

...this nutcase leading our women and men into battle (or more like standing a safe distance behind them and yelling "charge!").

[nicktom]

20. A couple of times I thought Tweety seemed to be at an actual lost

of words, he honestly did not know where this guy was coming from. I agree with above posts this general
has done a complete 180, at least from previous impressions I had of him.

[Marlie]

22. What a scary guy

That stupid half smile on his face while Tweety acted like his head was about
to explode. Batiste seemed to be enjoying every minute of it and actually Batiste
made absolutely no sense at all. He's the guy who's going to advise the
Democrats, God help them and us. He seemed totally nuts.

[City Lights]

23. I saw it!

:wow: :wtf: :scared:

IMHO he needs a padded cell...

[OHdem10]

24. Gen Batiste has taken a 180---

Does he believe this or is he trying to get the word
out to America that this is the grand plan we are all
waiting to see. In other words this is in reality what
is going to be happening in Iraq the next 10 years??

He simply seemed to be selling an idea(not completely
convinced himself. Whoooooo.
