4. Ask him if he watched the David Frost interview with
Benazir Bhutto when she said Osama bin Laden is dead and why no one has discussed her comments.

6. Ask him why Iran poses a threat to the United States.
And then explain how we have the country completely surrounded with bases in Iraq, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Kuwait, naval vessels in the Persian Gulf etc.

7. Wow. First question was what did he say to Bush when he asked if we should invade Iraq
And Myers said "He never asked".

13. Can you find your ass using both hands and a flashlight?
Did you laugh when Bush made a joke out of searching for Iraqi WMD's by looking under his desk and proclaiming - "nope, no weapons under there"......

16. Ask him what cuts he would recommend in a military budget that consumes
a disproportionately high percentage of our resources, nearly 45%, at a time when we need to invest in people more in order to be able to meet the economic challenges coming our way.

Ask him if the military REALLY needs every penny of the trillions they receive and isn't there SOME portion of it that SHOULD be spent on meeting the human rights that add up to something called "America".

17. Ask him how he will feel if one of our troops is captured and tortured.
Ask him if trashing the Geneva torture conventions was easy for him.

Ask him how it felt to whitewash his country's torture program.
