rtsp://video.c-span.org/project/iraq/iraq092304_rosegarden.rm?mode=compact

[CatWoman]

5. I'm watching it right now...........

working for me.

[City Lights]

7. Me neither.

I get an error. 461: Unsupported transport. :shrug:

edited to confirm error.

[kaitykaity]

8. Nevermind.

Somebody got it for you.

[CatWoman]

4. Press questions begin at 19:45 mark

[realFedUp]

35. Thanks for fast forward to press questions.

That was helpful!

[democrat_patriot]

6. Not working - Rove killed it.

[CatWoman]

9. I'm telling you -- I'm watching it right now via that link

I think maybe the server is overloaded/busy.

[Cha]

14. I'm hearing it right now, too!

It works for me..

[mac56]

12. I think you have to use Real Player

n/m

[City Lights]

16. When I click on the link, QuickTime is automatically launched.

Can you provide instructions for launching with RealTime?

[mac56]

19. Do you have Real Player installed?

If so, I think there's a button that makes it your default viewer instead of QT.

[City Lights]

21. It's installed, but I don't know how to make it the default.

I'll mess around with my preferences and see if that makes a difference. This doesn't usually happen though. Usually, the program that is required for viewing is automatically launched and :dunce:'s like me don't have to make these decisions. :-)

[mac56]

23. Try copying the link -

opening Real Player - and pasting in the link as "Open URL" in the "File" dropdown window.

[City Lights]

26. Thanks for your suggestions, but I'm still not having any luck.

When I copy the link to the clipboard, it displays as "illegal codeplayClip(clip04)," so I added the http and cpan stuff before it, but it didn't work. When QuickTime launches, the name that appears is "iraq092304_rosegarden.rm," but I can't get that to run either. Seems like I'm not getting the correct info for the link. Do you have an exact address I can copy and paste into the file window?

[beyurslf]

13. That happens alot on their site when things are first posted.

I think we overload the server on all the new things. Give it time and it will work better for everyone.

[CatWoman]

22. you know, I really wish people would stop validating Karl Rove

[Cha]

10. Thank you! This one is for posterity!

From what I read on DU..bush hung himself with this from the rope of a few reporters..David Gregory and Terry Moran come to mind.

[kaitykaity]

11. I think we're overloading their server.

It's working for me, though.

[Cha]

15. bush is reading a speech now...where Kerry or

Clinton would have come out and just given a heartfelt speech.

Questions coming up!

[heidiho]

17. OMFG!!! He is really losing it! "Are you from Iraq"

Please please please don't let me have to look at his ugly mug and listen to his stupid remarks for another four years.

Who in their right mind would vote for this idiot???

[txindy]

18. Missed it and can't watch the link until later

But I get the distinct feeling that Senator Kerry, with
full-blown laryngitis and a sock puppet, could give a more
coherent and professional press conference.
:toast:

[Cha]

20. Says he's not going to abandon the Iraqi People...

Well, Kerry is saying that either..in fact Kerry has a plan to get the World involved so our Soldiers won't be dying over there.

bush doesn't want to abandon the Iraqi people but he doesn't mind abandoning the American People..course we don't have the OIL that the Iraqis do!! :grr:

[Jack_Dawson]

24. When is Gregory's Question?

[Jack_Dawson]

25. 27:45 answered my own question

[troubleinwinter]

27. For those who can't play it

Here are some excerpts (no kidding, I took notes):

"It's hard work. Everybody knows that."
"It's hard work. Everybody knows that."
"It's hard work. The American people know that."
"hard work"
"It's tough."
"It's tough work."
"Tough work."
"suiciders"
"suiciders"
"Actses of a few."
"The Afghan National Army fought in Najaf."

So there ya have it. The debates should be riveting.

[Minimus]

28. LOL - can't wait to get home and watch it - work puter won't let me!

[irancontra]

29. "see... I need to be as CLEARLY as possible"

-the shrubster had a bad day. :P

[Jack_Dawson]

32. LMAO!

You nailed it.

:toast:

[King Coal]

30. It is up on MSNBC too.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6077104/

[Timefortruth]

31. MSNBC doesn't play the whole press conference.

And CSPAN doesn't work.

[City Lights]

33. I was finally able to view it using CatWoman's link.

:-)

If anybody is still experiencing problems, I suggest you follow CSpan's instructions for dealing with video problems. I was finally able to view it through IE rather than Safari, but I did have to fiddle with some of my IE preferences.

[Francine Frensky]

34. Will C-Span replay this?? Anybody know?

Thanks

[CatWoman]

37. keep checking here

[realFedUp]

36. Can anyone see the string coming out of Bush's neck?

He keeps repeating the same stuff, you'd
think someone just pulls a string...
oh yeah, someone pulls all the strings.

[phish420]

40. Hard to see, but yes, the flag camouflages it. lol

[realFedUp]

38. Axes of evil

Those darn Saddam henchmen with axes stood over
Allawi while he was in bed, but fortunately
he made them a deal they couldn't refuse....

[phish420]

39. He's STILL calling it the Central Front on the War On Terror...Jeesh

What a f-ing moron!

[phish420]

41. OOOooo...theyve built 2,000 new schools in Iraq

Too bad they cant use them without fear of a US bombing run

[phish420]

42. He thanked the 'coalition of the willing'

Im still shocked Denmark and The Netherlands helped out. This makes me mad...they should stick to what they do best - Tulips and pot smoking...lol...but oh well.
