You want to be one of our Tontos on this whole Iraq thing?"<BR/><BR/>What's revealing about her choice of words is that for all the squawking about the need for equal partners in facing the world's stability problems, Bennett still views foreign allies as nothing more than sidekicks.<BR/><BR/>She really is not ready for primetime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-90349076348237152642008-05-11T18:02:00.000-04:002008-05-11T18:02:00.000-04:00She is painfully embarassing.She is painfully embarassing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-7953870196322970122008-05-09T20:21:00.000-04:002008-05-09T20:21:00.000-04:00Is it really important to know anything if you are...Is it really important to know anything if you are a Democrat running for office?

But I'm running for Congress, not President."<BR/><BR/>I guess Congress must have given up Constitutional oversight of foreign expenditures, treaties, and alliances while I was raking my yard!<BR/><BR/>We are a nation at war and this is the best the Lehigh Valley can offer for Congressional oversight. She's going to vote on sending (or not) kids to potentially DIE in our names in places she likely can't find on a labeled map? God please help us. <BR/><BR/>I've never voted for Dent, but I could never vote for her. We can do better than this. Thanks for the interview we likely won't get from the MSM.

Did she choose to sidestep the question because she didn't know some of the answers? It's possible. <BR/><BR/>2. She apparently does not support a withdrawal from Iraq. <BR/><BR/>3. Her answers also tell me that she didn't bother to take this interview seriously. If she did, she would have seen the suggested questions and prepared for them. She obviously did not.<BR/><BR/>4. This is exactly why I suggested the question, "What is the difference between a Shiite and a Sunni?" It's a question that speaks directly to a person's seriousness when it comes to running for Congress and tackling the enormous problems this country faces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-90968989038455456442008-05-09T09:15:00.000-04:002008-05-09T09:15:00.000-04:00Bob, I can write stories a lot sorrier than this!I...Bob, <BR/><BR/>I can write stories a lot sorrier than this!<BR/><BR/>I was expecting a slam for inserting myself editoriallly here, not for being too nice to Bennett. You have to let her speak and decide for yourself. <BR/><BR/>As far as not recording her, she told me it would make her uncomfortable. That's just as well. My recorder has been in my jeep all winter, and I'm not sure it would have worked.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-12806339125213171132008-05-09T09:07:00.000-04:002008-05-09T09:07:00.000-04:00Bernie I do love you, but this was the sorriest st...Bernie I do love you, but this was the sorriest story you have ever done.
