Thank God for the New media. Isn't amazing just how far out on the very edge fringe of the Wacko Left our "Mainstream Objective Journalists" all ways turn out to be.
"I did not believe -- never did, don't believe it now -- that there was a real connection between al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein."
I'd say Ted needs to read more
I agree. It is comments like this that remind us of how really biased the press has been, and how they have manipulated us over the years with propaganda instead of factual news.
The "no blood for oil" crowd is full of foul smelling flatulence.
If all we had wanted was oil, it would've been easier to lift the sanctions on Iraq and let Saddam sell as much oil as he could pull out of the ground, at market prices. It would've been easier to pretend to be his bosom buddies.
If there is sympathy for Saddam on the Left, it is a sympathy born out of sharing a common problem. Both the Left and Saddam have lost power and influence because of the American Right.
Old Ted was never troubled by the facts
Hell, we could have taken it from the Kuwaitis
And he does not have even a clue that he is a leftie.
Depends on the meaning of "real". From the lefty dictionary regarding the Hussein/Al-Qaeda question: The connection is not real unless the two parties are attached at the hip.
True, but it's great to see him exposed over and over. Also fun to watch old media self-destruct.
Noticed he said he doesn't "believe". He did not say there was not. I'm thinking he is hedging, because the floodgates of information about this have finally breached.
I'd be willing to bet that Saddam has a higher opinion of the US than most of the US News anchors.
Yep. Things like payoffs and sharing chemical weapons information aren't real in idiot Koppel's world.
Where do these journalists get the idea that they become instant experts on any subject because they sit in front of a camera?
Koppel doesn't have the intelligence to read an intelligence report. Will be glad to see the total demise of the MSM Lousitania.
Blessings, Bobo
He must have been playing as he sure as hell would not know anything about how the military operates, just like
99.9 percent of those other commentators and congressman.
I think the ABC suits threw Koppel a bone by not cancelling his beloved show immediately upon his departure. They just assured it would tank so badly, so quickly that they'll be "forced" to cancel it. LOL
He used gas in 84 as well...
I anticipate that these former newspeople will go on welfare for the rest of their lives. Certainly not qualified to do any work that requires critical thinking.
The MSM is having to shovel people out the door to stay afloat. Bummer. /sarc
Just FYI, FWIW:
Who Armed Iraq? Myth vs. Fact
