Do not make the mistake of thinking that because my conclusion is the same as another person's that my reasoning is the same
Meet the Press
Paul Bremer. He "refuse[s] to play the numbers game" when asked about the number of troops that will be needed in Iraq and past estimates thereof. And when asked about the Shia's demand for an Iraqi military and the exit of US troops he said it was because they were repressed by Saddam Hussein for so long…I'd swear I heard him say it was for centuries.
Hastert: BUSTED. After trying to justify the war by invoking 9/11 in great detail, had to admit that Iraq wasn't involved. Oh, but Al Qaida was training in northern Iraq. Never mind that Saddam hadn't been in control of that area for so long it shouldn't have even been called part of Iraq by this time last year.
Biden: BUSTED THE REPUBLICANS. Says the current junta in Washington is childish for trying to keep control to themselves (okay, he didn't say "junta").
Russert: Asked the Repuglicans some hard questions at last
Another must-read transcript. If only to find out if I'm nuts with that centuries thing.
