12. ABC
Raddatz confirming 25,000 First Army being kept in Iraq 90 more days. Because we're most concerned about the Shiite fighting in the south.

Great risk of civilian casualties which turns local population against occupier.

Colin Powell, is Iraq "Lebanon on steroids"? "We have got to defeat these Sunni remnants and we have got to deal with the forces of Mr. al Sadr in the south. ...more than I expected to see at this time. ..They've stuck out their heads and they're having their heads taken off....We don't expect this chaos to exist on June 30, but we're being sensitive...."

13. ABC news - Kerry and the Catholic church.
Edited on Fri Apr-09-04 05:44 PM by k in IA
Some Bishops, etc saying he shouldn't receive communion. Daschle's bishop told him not to call himself Catholic.

Well, Hell, half the damn church shouldn't take communion then - including me.

What about the RW's for the death penalty? (my question, not theirs)

27. Hey, let's go for a full schism.
I always love it when the Church decides to exercise political muscle. Makes me want to look hard at their tax status.

17. ABC's Peter Jennings royally pissed about Scalia/ reporter flak
Federal law prohibits marshals from seizing notes; therefore, also the erasing of reporters' tapes.

The report focused on Scalia being previously embarrassed by recordings (the God thing).

22. sad sad story on NBC about dead soldiers
including family members, one of whom was shown demonstrating against the war a month ago

they showed him, almost crying, saying they wished he could have come home....alive

then, a kid whose brother was killed, asking for troop support

SURE, son! I support them by wanting to see them ALL come home.

TOMORROW!

just the exact same way JANE FONDA supported them in Vietnam.....by wanting them to come home!

SHE and her commie ilk were the REASON we got out of there as soon as we did, and people who loathe her, should honor her and the others who helped end THAT criminal war

33. Pickard was interim FBI head, until Mueller took over
Mueller is/was longtime/bigtime BFEE operative, coverup artist

one of the REAL reasons things will never be properly investigated, and the main reaon people like Sibel Edmonds are being SHUT up, threatened with JAIL for speaking out

Gail Sheehy spoke today about how Mueller LIED to the Jersey widows about how they got the names of the highjackers so fucking FAST, if, as he insisisted, there were NO open investos on ANY of them.

he lied straight to their faces about that, when, at the time they KNEW there were at least fourteen cases open, and now we know that there were at least SEVENTY!

Sheehy made the soundbite-worthy comment that the bush regime was busy DISCONNECTING the DOTS!

35. Thanks!
Dare we hope that Pickard may actually have the best interests of our country at heart, and help to expose the fraudulent administration and all their corruption?
