You know what I want to know more about.....
When Senator Boxer was questioning Con-de-leeza Rice about the soldiers....Senator Boxer spoke about how the nurses would pin up the pictures of the soldiers "when they were WHOLE", b/c they had been so horribly disfigured, maimed it was difficult for the doctors/nurses to think of them as HUMAN, even.....:cry: :shudder: :cry:

And the msm is trying to get you to focus on Senator Boxer saying (accusing?) Condi for not making 'full use' of her reproductive organs????

There are a LOT of issues being put into "play" here......it's CONFUSING to be sure. I believe it's being ORCHESTRATED this way ON PURPOSE to lead 'good people' astray.

Let's think again about these young men/women who have given their lives, their limbs.....they won't even get the benefit of a tax adviser, financial planner to help them work through their 'advantages' of being in the military.....

We, have a lot of f*ckin' gall! And that's about all we have....GALL! Nothing more than that....we're bankrupt!

1. I noticed that. Pick up on the shallow and not notice the horrors.

That thing about the soliders and that one guy, with the 3 limbs gone, broken back and destroyed face haunts me.

2. But Condi's not married.
Therefore, she should not be having sex. She should NEVER have had sex.

Otherwise, why is the Administration pissing away hundreds of millions of our tax dollars on this "Abstinence Only" crap?

7. But, Republicans LOVE Sex!
Don't they? Of course, that's only if it's illegal or illicit and definitely always SECRET.

3. This is just the typical Republican sound machine
All fury, signifying nothing, abso-fucking-lutely nothing. They're playing their usual game. How about if we don't go along with it?

5. Read this! Condi was apparently aware of the numbers
of more casualties to be expected in the SURGE, and lied to Congress. Truly SLEAZE.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x3117014

"Pentagon planners this week warned President George W. Bush that his “troop surge” plan could double U.S. casualties in Iraq in the coming year and result in 10,000 or more American deaths by the end of 2008. (with more than 100,000 wounded and/or maimed for life.)

snip

"In an appearance before the Senate Armed Services committee Thursday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice refused to provide an estimate of U.S. casualties, saying such estimates are not possible but the Pentagon assessment had been delivered to the White House on Tuesday, two days before her testimony."

8. I was left wanting someone to ask Condi Klingon
for the exact personal names of "the president's political and military advisers" that she made mention of without naming, who advised "the decider" into deciding to "augment" the lives of 21,500 more troops.
I wish at least one Senator, knowing beforehand that they only have 8-10 minutes to ask her questions, would forget all about giving a speech, then only asking one or two questions in the remaing time.
If she were sittin' in front of me, "I say "Welcome Madam Secretary" then start firin' short succinct questions at her.
I think committee members should get together before a hearing to coordinate their questions with a plan of attack, instead of individually letting her off the hook with her B/S, unanswered questions, and her filabustering.

9. THAT is a "good plan"
unfortunately, I (cynically) believe that these glad handers already do this.....except they orchestrate their questions to "run out the clock" and NOT ask anything substantive. I believe it's orchestrated ON PURPOSE this way.

Cynically,
