11. Wolfie trying to stir shit

Between Kerry and Feingold.

Kerry supports censure hearing and agrees with Leahy, inclined to believe censure is appropriate.

I hope they don't divert the importance of this interview.

But good about the censure.

30. He's known for weeks that Kerry supports it - Russ needs senators out

there to say they NEED to hear more evidence and want to keep the investigation alive. That way the public has a greater chance to catch up to what is really happening.

47. He's a lawyer

They are holding hearings -

This is not an Alice in wonderland world, verdict first, trial later.

Carefully choosing words is important with the current media that will take anything and turn it on its head.

Just slamming the chimp and his criminal posse every which way. Kerry is much better in this interview than he was with tweety. Far more aggressive.

24. Blitzer is being such a dick

Kerry ain't taking his bait, though; good on him.

This is a great interview - gets tough on Bush and supports censure hearings and withdrawal - despite Wolf's CONSTANT diversions.

What's this bullshit quote from some random douche? Who CARES?

31. Guys, please note which Reporters have Kerry on today. It's no accident

that Wolf goes to Kerrys office for a one-on-one interview.
Regardless of how he poses, Blitzer has been privately pro-Kerry.

Wolf Blitzer is a Republican shill of first order. He's pro-Kerry being divested of his Senate seat, if anything. Puh-leeeez.

49. This time Tweety was even worse

It was really clear that he thought he could push Kerry to go over the line on the Bus/Libby/Plame stuff. Must have forgot Kerry was a damn good prosecutor - and he was going to say "if it's true" on everything - except things 100% known. (Tweety also likes to hear himself talk.)

Kerry was serious, but he seemed to get a little tiny smile every now and then - I assume he can't help be happy that Bush is in trouble.

Where do you get this from? The way he "poses" sure makes it look like he's anti-Kerry and pro-Republican.

38. Never thought I'd say this

but compared to Blitzer, Tweety did an outstanding job. It's funny how he gets all deferential when interviewing JK. Leslie is an ass, drunk on the koolaid. How pathetic was his attempt at getting JK to comment on the quote about JK having had his chance, and that new blood was needed.

32. I have a question.....

Is Kerry's plan that the Iraqi Government have to put a Government together by May 15th....and if the don't......then we would leave,

But if they do, then we stay?

That's what I understood, watching Kerry's interview with Wolf Ticket.

42. So really apart from this May 15th deadline for the Iraqi Gov

to put together a unity government, or else.....

This plan is what the Democratic Plan was.....that 2006 was the year of transition....that we would need to start pulling out by the end of this year? Is that correct?

Because if so...I find this deadline totally reasonable. I always thought that our military presence should be used as leverage to get this government going. The Iraqi Government does not want us to leave just yet....so this would work, although it has to come from Bush....and it probably won't.

51. That seems to be Kerry's strategy

In the less formal interviews he has said he hopes (and he thinks) they will. At that point, the summit idea and the transition of the second part kicks in. I liked that in Blitzer's interview he said that an ultimatum from him won't work, but it will from the President.

37. Leave by May 15th w/o government

Edited on Thu Apr-06-06 04:52 PM by WildEyedLiberal

If Iraq gets its shit together, we stay to train and all combat forces will be out by the end of the year.

39. Its basically like this:

Form a unity government by May 15 - if not, immediate withdrawal of forces

Withdrawal by end of 2006 regardless - excepting troops in IDF training efforts

41. Until the end of the year, as he said last year

If they want us to. If we stay, the plan includes not engaging in routine patrols and the kinds of things that make our troops targets. Since he called for a drawdown last year, I'm sure he would consider that part of any strategy for the remaining year, begin to draw down troops, turn over the country, and be out by the end of the year.
