NEWS QUOTE OF THE DAY
Congressman Harold Ford Jr.: "I watched Dick Cheney on Meet The Press with Russert over the weekend, I guess it was last Sunday, everyday seems like Wednesday to me, but last Sunday, and you know he drank the Kool Aid in full and he may have made that Kool Aid, so he fully believes it. The sad part about what he said the other day and this is where you begin to think that maybe as much as they believe it they've become almost, you can't reason with them, they've become almost fanatical. When Russert asked a question 'would you have done everything the same way knowing what you know now' and he shared that he would, he said that we wouldn't have changed a thing."
Imus: "That's insane," Congressman Harold Ford Jr.: "In your right mind. No one in their right mind can seriously make that statement if you were, if he worked for you, if Dick Cheney were an employee at your company and he made that statement before a national audience of people in your industry you would probably demote him if not remove him all together from the company. How on earth can you make a comment like that in light of all that's happening, in light of all the facts we know. It's obvious intelligence was flawed. There was not the WMD that we thought was there. The President himself has shared pointedly that Iraq has very little if anything to do with 9/11. So for him to make that comment, it's clear that they believe it, but the question you really have to ask is do they still possess the capacity to be reasonable? Do they posses the capacity to have logic and apply logic to the situation? If he honestly can say, I mean maybe he is just too stubborn to say it or unwilling to say, whatever the motivation was, it's a remarkable thing when a man can't admit, or a woman can not admit we were wrong and we're going to fix it. They can't even admit that they were wrong, or maybe not that they were wrong but that some of the information they had was flawed and mistaken. So I think they believe it and I think voters have a clear choice in this election, if you think we need the balance up here to counter, not to weaken our defense as the republicans like to suggest about democrats, but you just need a little balance on how you get this thing right. It's not cut and run or stay the course the real strategy should be lets win and get on out of there. Again that's what concerned me a little bit about his comments over the weekend."
