mountain bed Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 While debating an (some might say obstructionist)amendment,sponsored by Sen. Kennedy, to the appropriations bill the arguments lingered on all afternoon & into the evening over whether Donald Rumsfeld should leave.The debate was spirited and (somewhat surprisingly) articulate from both sides of the aisle...one side eloquently reciting the "litany of failures" of Rummy while the other side just as eloquently giving the case to stay the course(although it must be said that Sen. Warner & his colleagues were relying on their stock-in-trade "politics of fear").Very compelling viewing. Thoughts,comments here on VC regarding this?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
