MY GOD Demonstrators disrupt Rumsfeld testimony

Rummy had to shut his mouth

My God this is history in the making

I'm trapped at (gulp) work.

were there. It started with one woman who yelled something unintelligible. They help up signs saying Fire Rumsfeld and yelled alternately "fire Rumsfeld" and "war criminal". It went on for several minutes before they were escorted out.

And, at least on C-Span, the cameras panned to the demonstrators.

I also found it refreshing that no one in the hearing room commented on the demonstrators. There's usually some nervous laughter and/or some repuke taking the opportunity to say good things about Rummy when such things occur.

Damn, my feeble bladder. Never again, from now on I pee in a jar.

pee or puke or causes me to loosen my bowels, also.

He said he brought the photos to light as soon as he knew about them.

Shit it is in the NEWS they asked CBS to hold the story for 2 weeks

Did he really say that? Brought the photos to light to whom? Because you know Shrub is claiming that he knew nothing about them. Just like always, nothing ever seems to make it all the way up the chain of command and to his desk.

Rummy either:

a. Just lied under oath (is he under oath?) about the picutres and the timelines.

b. Just basically told the nation that Bush is out of the loop about information.

c. Both

I don't believe he had been sworn in. HOWEVER, from sometime in the Thirties, it became a FELONY to make a false statement before Congress. (I'm going by memory here, and will try to chase that down later). Hopefully when the tide has turned, that will also bite Pinnochio Bush in the butt.

This is big. Or, it should be. Let's see how the media handle this. It is promising that they didn't break away from it on CBS, which is where I was watching it. They focused on the protesters, and at one point showed a close up of the look on Rumsfeld's face. It was great.

What happened?

.... mass detentions... FIRE RUMSFIELD ...CRIMINAL ... FIRE RUMSFIELD CRIMINAL ... FIRE RUMSFIELD etc.


couldn't understand everything they said...

Hope that makes the news tonight.

Rumsfeld just admitted it. How could I know this 4 days ago but it was not reported anywhere in the press?

Why not help out this SOB from office

Sweet. :thumbsup:

Rummie, and whether he should stay or go. Can someone make the case that if Rummie goes it doesn't have the effect of letting Bush off the hook in this, that it doesn't make it seem - temporarily, at least - that Rumsfeld was the whole problem with all of the administration's problems, and thereby allow Bush to appear as a fresh and innocent as a newborn lamb ready for a second term that will no doubt result in a new American renaisance?

No sarcasm intended (really). Just sceptical (but open minded) that losing Rums doesn't help Bush. I hear that Bush knew about this in January (he lies again). Can anyone confirm that? Maybe we should cancentrate on Bush instead.
