"I am watching because I am grateful that these men and women gave their lives for my country, for the war on terror, and to free the people of Iraq from an evil dictator. "

Wow, Ted didn't intend for you to see it that way. First of all, Ted K. would argue that everybody he showed you tonight (he didn't include the Afganistan war dead) was fighting a war that had zero to do with the War on terror.
He would also argue that Iraq wasn't a threat to us, it was a preemptive war and a war of choice that made America less safe. And he would also argue (as would CBS, see the "torture photos") that the people of Iraq haven't been freed.

That was the message from tonight and you'd be surprised to learn how many people heard it loud and clear.

You obviously didn't listen to Koppel's closing comments.

It made me vengeful. After seeing them, I now want to carry the war to its end so these heroes will not have died in vain. Koppel has made me want to exterminate the terrorists before they can kill more of our young men and women.

That is the message he was going for isn't it? </sarcasm>
