My god, it’s full of flip-flops!
Last night’s interview with John Gibson turned out to be quite a bit of fun. The producers were kind enough to clip the audio for me, and the nine-minute segment can be heard from the player below. We discussed Barack Obama’s flip-flops and the Senate Intelligence Committee report, and John had some fun with the production.
Update: I received an e-mail from KFAQ’s Pat Campbell this morning regarding Jay Rockefeller:
Ed,
I caught you on John Gibson’s show the other night talking about Senator Rockefeller and the Senate Intelligence Committee report. A little background info on me. I’m a conservative talk show host in Tulsa, OK, prior to that 4 years in Orlando, FL at 540WFLA. Prior to the invasion of Iraq I was hosting a show in the Ohio Valley on WSTV 1340 in Steubenville, Ohio & simulcast on WOMP in Wheeling, WV. Because of the logistics I had a nice tri-state listening audience OH, WV & PA. Sen Rockefeller was a frequent guest on my show.
People who know me would describe me as extremely decisive, I almost instantly know what side of an issue I’m on, what’s right what’s wrong. With one exception the Iraq War. I really struggled with this issue. I am not a war monger I couldn’t justify attacking a country that hadn’t attacked us. Ironically, it was Jay Rockefeller that convinced me and many of my listeners that it was the right thing to do. I wish I had the audio of this but I don’t. Rockefeller, who was the ranking democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, came on my show & told me and my listeners that “based on the evidence he had seen [FYI the same evidence Bush had seen] the president was doing the right thing”. Now he’s changing his story!
Best,
Pat Campbell
Host of The Pat Campbell Show

Rockefeller, the most expensive Transformer on the market.

John Gibson is great.
It is about time someone take Jay Rockefeller et al to task for misrepresenting the entire wmd issue.

Jay Rockefeller, whose home state REJECTED Obama by a whooping 40% – whom he endorsed.

Maybe that’s just “the music that you hear”.

“There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years … We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction.”
–Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

Great Interview Ed. I think Gibson is much better on radio cause he has a open forum to say what he knows is true, he’s a little held back on Fox.
Guys like you Ed need to push the truth to the world, let them know how people change to help themselves and that “Bush’s War” will be proven to be a correct war that had many reasons behind it. If everyone knew this new “Truth” about the war then why did none of these Dems read the report on the leadup to the war, they all passed and voted for the war.
Bathtub boy also looks passed the “Unprovoked War” that his wet dream John Kennedy started walking us in to.

I love Gibson. He tells it like it is. I can’t believe I missed Ed!
I don’t get how anyone can be ambivalent about the iraq war in so far as how it got started. Iraq thumbed it nose at the world for over 12 years of violations, there is documented evidence that saddam and his sons and his ruling party were heinous people…..
No ambivalence here. Now where the ambivalence comes from me is I’m a bit peeved that we allowed them to put in their constitution that islam would be part of their gov’t and not separate..and also the whole “not putting a bullet between the eyes of Sadr” when we had the chance.
Those two things were huge mistakes..otherwise, it needed to be done. I guess war is never perfect.

Ever more evidence that Democrats cannot be trusted to keep us on offense. Or defense. Even when they know how important it is to protect our interests.
Our planet would have been greatly served by President Bush (41) if he had had the nerve to depose Hussein in the first Gulf War. It would have meant going against world opinion, but the second Gulf War would never have happened. Quite likely 9-11 would have been avoided also, as we would have shown that we were ‘not the weak horse’.
Here it is 2008-looking to the future, which political philosophy-Hawk or Dove-is more likely to lead to more troubles? Hint: not Hawk.
